But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. – 2 Timothy 3:14

If you’re born again and have the Word of God in your heart, you can live in victory. You may not have all the answers. There may be a great many spiritual things you don’t understand. But it’s not those things that are most likely to destroy you. It’s the things you know to do—but don’t—that usually make you fall.

Be Determined by Pastor David Ibiyeomie

Topic: Be Determined

Determination means the act of coming to a decision of fixing or setting a purpose. It also means quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficult. Determination is the vision that is fueled by passion.

Nothing great can be achieved without determination. What will separate the successful from the failure is determination.

Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb and one thousand and ninety-one other revolutionary technologies persisted through so many failures but was determined; he never gave up on his dreams.

Obstacles are only stepping stones for miracles. As a child of God, you should have long-ranged goals that will keep you from frustration of short-ranged failures.

Hebrews.12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
