Get Back Up and Keep Going!
<p>Beloved, let me speak to you today like a brother, like a preacher, like a friend. Life will always test us. You’ll fall. You’ll stumble. You’ll even taste the dust of the ground. But hear what the Word says: “<em>Though I fall, I will rise. Though I sit in darkness, the Lord will be my light</em>.” (Micah 7:8). That means no fall is final when God is on your side.</p><p><br/></p><p>Let me tell you a short story… A little child once tried to learn how to walk. He fell once, twice, ten times. But not for one second did it cross his mind that “walking isn’t for me.” He got up again and again until balance became his reality. My people, if a child can do that without giving up, how much more you, filled with wisdom, vision, and the Spirit of God?</p><p><br/></p><p>Listen carefully: life is not a sprint, it is a marathon (Hebrews 12:1). You don’t just run once—you keep pressing, even when tired, even when bruised. That’s why grit is so important. Grit is that fire in your bones that says, “<em>I refuse to stay down!</em>” It’s the spirit that keeps you moving despite rejection, pain, or failure. Remember Joseph—sold into slavery, lied against, thrown into prison. Yet he never let bitterness bury his dream. In the end, what men meant for evil, God turned for good (Genesis 50:20).</p><p><br/></p><p>True grit begins with vision. Proverbs 29:18 reminds us, “<em>Where there is no vision, the people perish.</em>” When you know your “why,” you will endure the “how.” That’s why Esther risked her life before the king. That’s why Nehemiah rebuilt the walls despite opposition. That’s why Paul declared, <em>“I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling”</em> (Philippians 3:14).</p><p><br/></p><p>Child of God, stop letting people’s opinions define you. Stop allowing circumstances dictate your destiny. Life is not created from the outside in—it is created from the inside out. Jesus Himself said, “<em>The Kingdom of God is within you</em>” (Luke 17:21). Greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world (1 John 4:4).</p><p><br/></p><p>So I came to charge you today: keep your vision alive! Remember your purpose. Show up daily. Work diligently. Pray without ceasing. And when life knocks you down, dust yourself, smile, and say, “<em>Devil, you should’ve killed me when you had the chance. Because now, I’m getting back up!”</em></p><p><br/></p><p>Patience and perseverance will always break barriers. Even mountains bow before those who refuse to quit (Mark 11:23).</p><p><br/></p><p>And as we step into this brand-new month, let me joyfully announce: 🎉 Welcome to October, my people! May this month bring you fresh fire, new strength, and testimonies that will shock your mockers. Amen!</p>
