S ir Walter Raleigh was one of the most brilliant men at the court of Queen Elizabeth of England. He had skills as a scientist, wrote poetry still recognized as among the most beautiful writing of the time, was a proven leader of men, an enterprising entrepreneur, a great sea captain, and on top of all this was a handsome, dashing courtier who charmed his way into becoming one of the queen's favorites. Wherever he went, however, people blocked his path. Eventually he suffered a terrible fall from grace, leading even to prison and finally the executioner's axe." By Robert Greene.
The art of knowing when to quit. When to quit that job, when to quit that marriage, when to quit that church, when to quit people friendship. Knowing when to quit is very important in survival.
Do you ever observe how people fight each other over a job that is not paying any money? If you are not prospering there and your reputation and life is in danger, quit at a suitable time.
Every solder know that there is a time when he or she have to retreat. Retreating is not necessarily surrendering. It is suspending the fight temporally, and redirecting the fight in different direction.
People who failed to, quit when it comes time to, quit never move on to fulfil their destine. Sometime, a person working on a dead end job, or on a job where the other employees desecrate your reputation, and keeping you down. You must know when the enemy has you pin down and crawl out of where they have you, wove out, and move away.
THE APOSTLES HAVE A TIME WHEN THEY RUN
Act 14:5 And when there was an assault made both of the Gentiles, and also of the Jews with their rulers, to use them despitefully, and to stone them, Act 14:6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that lieth round about: Act 14:7 And there they preached the gospel.
IF YOU ARE NOT PROSPERING RUN
3Jn 1:2 Beloved, in regard to all things I pray that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers.
WHEN PEOPLE PERSECUTE YOU RUN
Mat 10:23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee into another; for truly I say to you, In no way shall you have finished the cities of Israel until the Son of Man comes.
THOSE WHO DO NOT WANT YOU, IT IS GOD'S WILL
Psa 88:18 You have taken lover and friend far from me, and those who know me into darkness.
Some people that drive me from their company. Months later, when I found out what they were involved with, it was faith, that I left.
Sometime Only Jesus Can Help Us
Acts 4:12 (KJV)Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Romans 5:6 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly. Romans 5:7 (KJV) For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. Romans 5:8 (KJV) But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:9 (KJV) Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Romans 5:10 (KJV) For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:11 (KJV) And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.
Matthew 6:33-AV But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Isaiah 55:6-AV Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: Isaiah 55:7-AV Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
