26 May Where There’s a Will, There’s a Way (Because Tenacity is a Necessity to Fulfill your Destiny) Part 5

Tenacity is a necessity to fulfill you destiny! Over the last number of weeks, we began to share with you how…remember our key verse, II Timothy 1:7:  “God has not give you a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind.”  Then we began to share with you “10 Truths Towards Tenacity”:

1. Tenacious people don’t waste time feeling sorry for themselves (Rom. 8:31).

Within that section we gave you 6 Very Vivacious Victor Verbals:

1) Life is not always fair.  People are not always fair. God is ALWAYS fair.

2) You are not a loser…you are a chooser (Deut. 30:19).

3) A victim believes that others are responsible for his dilemma. Therefore someone else must bring them out of their dilemma.  Thereby posturing them to whine and wait, instead of win.

4) You have a choice:  You can either be pitiful or powerful!

5) Betrayal is something someone does to you.  Bitterness is something you do to yourself.

6) Don’t get bitter, get better!

This week let’s continue…

2. Tenacious people don’t hand the reigns of their emotional well-being to another (Phil. 4:4).

Now please don’t mistake me here!  I am not talking about being emotionally distant or stoic, but I am talking about making sure you put your emotional well-being into the right hands…God!  Here the Bible tells us, “Rejoice in the Lord always and again I say rejoice” (Phil. 4:4).  Circumstances change.  People change…God doesn’t (see Hebrews 13:8).  I’ve wisely placed the reigns of my emotional well-being in His hands.  Therefore I am not on a Christian roller coaster…up one minute and down the next.  People are frequently inquiring why I don’t go through the valleys that most do.  I have literally not been depressed or discouraged for 22 years!  Why?  Because I won’t give away my emotional well-being to anyone but God!  I love people, but my joy is IN THE LORD!

Next week, we’ll continue our series!
