Failure is defined as lack of success in a set objective or loss of ability to function normally. Failure occurs when an event doesn’t accomplish it intended purpose. Failure usually ends up as a double tragedy because when a project fails, you lose your investment on the project and afterwards you must pay for the future repercussions of that failure. In most cases, the repercussions of failure are far- reaching and irreversible. With this perspective, it is clear that failure is something of inestimable loss. However, failure always disguises itself as a normal everyday discernment; such a seemingly normal event may develop into a serious tragedy. So it was when Sarah innocently offered her maid to Abraham to conceive a child in Genesis 16:3, and when Iacob suggested to his brother Esau to trade his birthright for pottage in Genesis 25:31. These are examples of ordinary events that resulted into terrible tragedies. I pray that you will not commit any blunder that will lead to terrible tragedies in your life in Iesus’ Name.
What started as a generous
gift of love later developed into something that brought grief to Abraham in
Genesis 21:11. Having to separate from his son was painful and as the father of
Isaac (Jews) and Ishmael (Arabs), we can see that the outcome of Abraham ’s
failure is far—reaching and irreversible as evident in the Arab—Israeli
relationship today. When you consider Esau’s reaction to ]acob’s proposal, you
will immediately see that he trivialised the matter. He later paid dearly for
his miscalculation in his lifetime and his descendants are still paying for his
careless mistake till date. Father Lord, please have mercy, and let your mercy
prevail over every evil judgment and repercussion of sin and failure in our
lives in the Name of Jesus!
We can see from the above
cases that the immediate cost of failure is expensive and the future
repercussions inestimable. You cannot afford to suffer the loss of failure,
therefore you must do everything in your power to prevent and avoid it. First,
you must view everything in life according to the Bible and submit totally to
its authority. You must also ask for the guidance of the Holy Spirit in all
things. The fear of God and complete obedience to His commandments is the sure
antidote to failure. May you never experience failure again in Jesus’ Name.
Father, let every past
mistake that could lead to terrible tragedies in my life be cancelled today by
divine intervention, in the Name of Jesus.
