Break barriers, leapfrog limitations, rein in your
thoughts and emotions, refuse to be overwhelmed and overburdened by situations
that appear to be challenging and intimidating by controlling your thoughts and
emotions and focusing on your God given goal to succeed in His plans and
purposes for your life. Please see Joshua Chapter 1 verse 8, Deuteronomy
Chapter 28 verses 12 to 13.
Ignore catcalls and sniggers, whispers, deliberate
provocations from people and situations determined to stop you from making
progress. Instead, pay attention to your goal. Nehemiah ignored all the
contrivances of Sanballat, Tobiah, Geshem and their other cohorts. The gates of
Jerusalem were rebuilt and repaired. Please see the book of Nehemiah. Ezra and
his fellow workmen under the leadership of Zerubabbel, Governor of Judah
completed the task of rebuilding the temple in Jerusalem despite the stiff
opposition to the task. They chose to and dared to succeed. Please read the
entire book of Ezra for great insight into this amazing story of a people’s
determination and courage to succeed in spite of all odds.
