Every discovery in human existence went through a long tunnel of failure
before turning to success. Ask Thomas Edison. Ten thousand experiments
on the bulb failed. Imagine ten thousand failed experiments! When his
assistant got tired, discouraged and canvassed for an abandonment of the
project, Edison told him, 'No, we have not failed ten thousand times,
but have learnt ten thousand ways of not doing it.' He then went on to
stamp his name, forever indelibly, on the world's hall of fame.
Failure is not a tangible evidence of genetic inferiority. But failure
can be a fatal blow to fragile egos. You need to understand that failure
is only an indication of, may be, wrong methods, timing and sundry
other factors.
Hear me, the long failure tunnel eventually lead to Success Boulevard. I
was praying one day when I heard the Lord say to me, 'setback is
actually ladder for setup.' For a long time, I did not understand this
powerful concept. But over a long time, I have received bits and pieces
of revelations about this truth. I am sure that the day Apostle John was
deported to the Island of Patmos, there was weeping and tears. To the
early church, it was apparently a setback, to put it mildly. But the
church would never have received the book of Revelation, detailing the
last days' events if that setback did not take place.
Sometimes, the way up is down. Understanding that failure or setback is
only temporary and not allowing it to diminish your enthusiasm and
passion is very important. A never say die spirit is truly the
triumphant attitude. Whatever you're going through today, my counsel to
you is don't give up! Stay the course, keep trusting, the Lord will meet
you halfway the journey.
