Be a Palm Tree – Shake it off
For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief. Proverbs 24:16
Palm tree always experience a tough blow by heavy wind, while other trees are been destroyed and dead, Palm try only feel the blow by shaking off the dust, bending over to regain a new strength – coming back stronger and better than before.
You may be knocked down but you are not knocked out. The challenges and set back you are facing is just a set-up for a greater come back and is just a matter of time for you to come back stronger, better and greater than before. Psalm 92:12 The righteous shall flourish like the palm tree: he shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.
God described your success as a palm tree; why? God created all things, and He created the palm tree with a unique spirit (Fight back spirit), the ability to stand during crises, trials and rise again. You may be shaking by the storm, shaking by trails but I assure you when the storm is over, you are not going to stay down but stand back again and Shake it OFF.
The strategy: Forget the wind and focus on the bounce back. One opportunity may go but know that doors of opportunities are set before you, another door will open- don’t feel disappointed or down, you are made in God’s image and you are more than a conqueror – the Spirit of truth will guide you through. Don’t let anybody put you down because greater is He that is in you than he in the world.
You need to start speaking through your problems, not about the problems; prophesy great things and God promises into your life i.e I am great, I am bless, I am heal because my body is the temple of God, when the business market is bad, say your business is bless because my God is sorting it out- stop speaking about the problems but speak through the problems. Control your future, body, success through words because the power of life and death is in the tongue.
Be a fighter and bounce back, pronounce and decree what you want into your life-never give in to regret or failure; remember the Word of God: Isaiah 59:19 So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
They will come to you in one way but flew in seven ways; the enemy will try their best but the battle is not yours, someone is fighting for you and you will surely rise again- don’t be afraid and don’t sit back to accept the trick of the devil. Where you are is not where you will be staying- you are moving higher, stronger and better because greater things are coming. Lift your head up and let the King of Glory come in – lift your head up and high, speak great things into your life, allow the King of Glory to accomplish it.
Remember you will flourish like a Palm tree- The blessing is yours, don’t stay back but bounce back. Great things always feel the great blow because they stand high above all others but they always rise again
