We experience many failures in life. The key to success is never outside, it's inside. It depends on how you view and accept life's failures and hardships. A person who is frustrated and discouraged without seeing beyond failure is a failure. Failure is far more common than success, so you must be trained to be successful.
How can you overcome failure? It is the beginning of success when you have the question of HOW. Today's topic is failure. When the prophet Elijah failed, what words did he give us in the process of overcoming after hearing God's small voice?
First, failure is God's plan.

it changes When there is a failure in life, if God, not the subject, becomes the subject, everything will be extreme.
Blessed and the road to success will be opened
Third, failure loses power in front of obedience.
All failures are powerless in the face of obedience. The reason God made Elijah fail
It is meant to give Through Elijah's failure, God's mission could be fulfilled by obedience.
is trying to do Jesus was obedient even to death on the cross. The cross endures insults and shame
He made them obedient to save and love all mankind.
Go forth in obedience to the glory of God, to the highest exaltation. Obedience is the will of God
to achieve and achieve the highest. When we obey, sin loses its power. The Word of the Lord, Mission and Plan
Obey God. So, by obeying God, who planned failure, as the master in me, I live my life.
