SCRIPTURE: And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force. Matthew 11:12.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: There is no future without a fight, no flight without a fight.
It takes the engagement of forces to fulfil destiny. One of the forces required to fulfil destiny is the force of a fighting spirit. There is no future without a fight, no flight without a fight.
Some time ago, I sat by an aircraft engineer in an aircraft, and asked him a question, “What makes an aircraft to fly?”
This was what he told me: “There are four forces that are involved in a flight. There is a force that pushes it forward which is called the thrust. There is another force that takes it up, and it is called the Lift. There is a force that tries to push it backward like the wind. This force is called the drag. And there is a force that tries to bring it down and it is called gravity.”
He continued, “For an aircraft to fly, the thrust must overcome the drag, and the lift must overcome the gravity. And when the thrust overcomes the drag and the lift overcomes the gravity, then, there is flight.”
In life, there may be forces around your life trying to push you backward and there are forces around your destiny trying to push you down; you must make up your mind to overcome these forces in order to fulfil destiny.
You must refuse to be stopped by any force in life in your journey of destiny.
Matthew 11:12 says,
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
You need a degree of “ruggedity” to fulfil destiny.
You need audacity to maintain authority in the realm of the spirit. If you give room to timidity, you settle for a lifetime of adversity. Make up your mind never to give up, give in, or give out. Decide to persist until you prevail and succeed.
Remember this: There is no future without a fight, no flight without a fight.
