Every success story is a tale of overnight success. You just need to understand that the \”overnight\” breakthrough does not refer to a typical 24-hour day. A closer look at overnight success stories reveals that they are frequently the result of decades of effort. You must continue to pursue your business vision with passion. When children become bored, they switch from one activity to another. You should understand that an adult in business must be able to stick to one task and repeat it over and over without becoming bored. It takes perseverance and inner motivation to keep pushing.
In the story of Elisha, Gehazi, and the Shunamite woman\’s dead son (2 Kings 4:18-37), we see a powerful example of perseverance and conviction. Gehazi, lacking the heart and conviction, went ahead of Elisha but failed to bring the boy back to life. In contrast, Elisha remained focused and committed to the task at hand. He prayed, laid himself upon the child, and the boy was revived. This story underscores the importance of perseverance, consistency, and unwavering faith in achieving success. Like Elisha, we must stay dedicated to our tasks, maintaining our focus and belief, even when faced with challenges.
Are you approaching your business in the same way that Gehazi did his mission? No conviction, no heart. Doing the least amount of work but expecting a huge payoff? Consider the Bible\’s heroes of faith. You notice themes of perseverance, consistency, and a desire to keep going. They never stop. They keep going. Your business vision is possible, but you have to keep going. There might be valid reasons to quit and shut down the mission. But such decisions should be taken after much prayer and extensive consultations. We must keep faith alive, keep pushing and understand that these things will work.
