In over thirty years of ministry, I’ve noticed the most effective people have been the ones who persevered over time. Come what may, they chipped away at something and found a way through. They never gave up.
Of course there would have been times of trial, ill-health, zero finance, discord and even disagreement, yet they still found a way to carry on.
Giving up is a permanent solution to a temporary problem! Once you give up, the pursuit of the vision God has given you stops. If you feel like giving up, pause, take a day or too off, regroup, get some encouraging input and start again! 1 John 5:4 says ‘For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.’ (NKJV) Whatever you face, don’t quit hastily, find a way, your faith will see you through.
