Dealing Epic Failures...
Note for discussions:-
Romans 8:28(NLT)
Romans 8:28 And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
In Greek " failure " = sin.
Total failures are in sin ...
Mistake and failure ( sin) are difference .
Need to see opportunities in failures ..
Jesus grows in wisdom and statute..Jesus didn't sin does he made mistake
What will be the kind of question we should ask ourself when we think we "fail" ?
Ask God in the position of grace....
Message from Robert Ferguson
Everyone makes mistakes as part of human condition.
Failure never defines you .
Willing to fail and try again and fail better. Failing better..
Every failure can be learned from .
2 type of Failures:-
Moral failures
Non-moral failures
2 Sam 11:1
Eg
David remains in Jerusalem is not a moral failure
He turns into moral failures because of his adultery
Failures has consequences ...
Three principals of failures :-
1. All failures has consequences
2. All failures has irrecoverable features.eg the prodigal was redeemed but he can't get the money back.
3.All failures are redeemable by Christ
Note: retrievable is not the same as redeemable.
How we deal with failures ?
Psalms 51- how David dealt with moral failures ( we can use that principles that he used for both moral and non- moral failures )
5 sections :-
1)face your failures vs 2
2)own your failures .take responsibility of failures vs 3
3)confess your failures vs 4
4) learn from them vs13
5) move on from the. Vs 18
In everything u do, do not let failure defines you !
