"You are to go into all the world and preach to Good News to everyone, everywhere." Mark 16:15.
FedEx CEO and founder, Fred Smith, first developed the idea for an innovative airfreight company while he was a student at Yale University.
His professor was less than impressed.
The paper Smith submitted outlining the concept earned him a C.
Thirty years later-
FedEx is the world’s largest express transportation company, with 128,000 employees and more than $7 billion in capital.
Smith’s shortsighted professor didn’t take a few things into consideration.
One was Smith’s persistence!

He refuses to give up.

Another

is his plans!

When plan A doesn’t work-

- there is always a plan B to put in motion.

Most important, however, was Smith’s ability to recruit people!

People want to be part of what he is involved in—even to the point of sacrifice.
In the early days, for example, his pilots often refueled company jets with their own money.
Sometimes they sat on paychecks for months to help keep the company afloat.
Can you imagine what would happen if every Christian had that kind of attitude in wanting to be a part of God’s plan and what he is doing in the world today—and was willing to make that kind of a sacrifice to follow Christ and accept his commission to take the gospel to everyone everywhere?
‘Oh Lord please light the fire,
That once burned bright and clear,
Replace the lamp of my first love,
That burned with holy fear.’

Quote by President Abe Lincoln

We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth, and power as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us, then to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.

"Now thanks be unto God, which always causes us to triumph in Christ, and makes manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place." 2 Corinthians 2:14.

As you fight the good fight of faith today-

Remember this:

Your mind is where the battle will take place.
Whatever you allow to captivate your mind will rule your life.

Will it be-

- the Word of God

- or the lies of Satan?

The decision is yours!

If you want the Word to reign-
- make up your mind now to resist the devil when he comes to plant doubts within you.

Refuse to surrender to the circumstantial pressure he brings your way.
Decide at the onset that you will not succumb to this trial.
Dig your heels in and stand immovable upon the promises of God.

When thoughts come that are contrary to God’s will-

- cast them down.

And above all-

- don’t worry!
Worrying is meditating the thoughts of Satan!

When you recognize you are worrying, stop it immediately.
Replace worried, fearful, and doubtful thoughts with the Word.

Be assured!
Satan will continually try to tell you that your situation is hopeless.
He will persistently peddle doubt, defeat, and discouragement.

But if you won’t allow him to sell you his goods.

His commission will be zero.

If you don’t buy his lies-
- he can’t cause them to come to pass in your life.

God has promised that He will always cause you to triumph in Christ.
You are guaranteed victory over any adversity you face today.

Make up your mind right now-
- to be a winner and you’ll spread the knowledge of victory in Christ everywhere you go.
