Down But Not Out!

-

Once in a while, we all get knocked down in one area of our life or the other. Our struggle in life is such that some times we win, while other times we lose. There are times we are down in our health, finance, spirituality, job, marriage, family, emotion, relationships, business, e.t.c. It is not our being knocked down that is really the problem but our attitude when we are down. There are people who become hopeless, frustrated, depressed and afraid to try to get up again, when they are knocked down. 

Your being knocked down does not mean that you are finished. It does not mean that you are a failure. It is not the end of the road. It only means that you are not perfect. It only means that you are not there yet. The devil is a liar! I have good news for you. "You can rise again!” The Bible says, "For the righteous man may fall seven times and rise again"(Proverbs 24:32).
I don't know the area of your life where you've been knocked down. It might be in your health, finance, spiritual walk with God, marriage, business, job, family, etc. But that is not the end of life. This is because you can be down and yet not be defeated.
A defeated person is only a person who remains down after being knocked down. But as long as you have the desire and the tenacity to rise up again, you can never be defeated. You might have been knocked down by life but you are not yet defeated. You can still rise up again. I say to you this day, "ARISE FROM WHEREVER YOU'VE FALLEN!” Isaiah 60:1 says, "Arise and shine for your light is come, for the glory of the LORD is risen upon you".
God can still raise you up again from wherever you've fallen. God can restore your relationship with HIM, He can restore your finance, He can restore your health, your marriage, job, business or whatever area of your life that is down. You are down does not mean that you are defeated. You may be down but you are not out.
My prayer is that God should raise you again in whatever area of your life that is down.

Life is full of so many hopeless conditions. There are lots of people who are today in seemly hopeless situations. Hopelessness in getting married. hopelessness in getting a job. Hopelessness in completing a project. Hopelessness in a relationship. Hopelessness all around.  There are some problems in life that looks as if you are passing through fire. Sometimes you are even afraid that you might not come out of them.  Don't contemplate suicide. Don't throw in the towel. I've got good news for you. No matter the challenge you are facing, there is still hope!  My wife shared a story of a lady in her village, who had a seemingly hopeless situation. As a child she took ill and her parents took her to a native doctor who gave her some herbs. Unfortunately, the herbs destroyed her organs. She was taken to the hospital. After examining her, the doctor discovered that her womb was badly affected and the only way to save her life was to remove her womb. When she grew up, she w

For any family to stick together, love is a very important ingredient. Love is what holds the family together. In times of trouble and difficulty, love prevails.  In any family where there is love; peace, harmony and happiness is usually enjoyed. Some people think that money can bring happiness in a home. In as much as money is very important, it can't buy happiness. It can buy beautiful houses but not a happy home. It can buy food but not appetite. It can buy good cars but not a happy home. Money can buy latest electronic gadgets but not a happy home. I've seen real wealthy families get divorced. Money wasn't the issue there. They were not happy in the marriage so they thought; the best bet is to break up. Some years ago, I heard about a wealthy man whose wife slept with their gardener. Such things happen every day all around the world. Many marriages today are ending up in divorce and children are running away from home mainly because they are not happy at ho

Lack of information brings about deformation. There are some people who would not have married the man they call their husband if they had got
