A quitter, on the other hand, is irritated by obstacles and gives up in the middle. A winner is prepared to confront any problems or barriers that may arise in his path to his objectives. A winner is someone who is adamant about achieving his objectives, no matter how difficult the path may be. And we've all had the chance to apply the adage to some aspect of our life, whether it was in a sports team, academics, job, or even relationships. We've all heard this statement at some point in our lives. Jesus didn’t give up his mission, because he could see past the pain, past the cross, past the grave, into the glory that awaited Him.“A quitter never wins, and a winner never quits,” remarked Vince Lombardi, a legendary American football coach. This is one of my favorite verses in the Word of God. Jesus- Hebrews 12:2-for the joy set before him endured the cross. * Nehemiah completed the work, not because he was aĬertified wall builded, but because he was a winner.Īnd winners never quit, and quitters never win. God doesn’t need golden vessels or silver vessels, but yielded vessels that he will pour through. He didn’t put his trust in his abilities but in his availability to God’s work. He trusted God to build it not himself.Nehemiah wouldn’t let the obstacle get in the way of the opportunity. The three biggest steps toward defeat are distraction, discouragement and depression. No matter how much opposition there was, he would not keep his eyes off the goal.
I love the story of Nehemiah because he was a winner. Nehemiah-2:20-the God of heaven will prosper us, therefore we Winners never quit and quitters never win.
Job got a double portion because he didn’t give up. He praised God in the hard times, so that he could praise God in the good times. He realized his blessing wasn’t the things God gave him, but God was the blessing.Even though he was reduced to nothing he figured starting over with God is better than starting over without him.His wife said give up, but when you are a winner you don’t let loser’s decide your destiny.He has just lost everything, his prosperity, his family, everything he had in this world, but instead of getting bitter, he got better. Job 1:21-I came into this world with nothing and with nothing I will leave, bless the name of the Lord. But winners never quit, and quitters never win. I am sure people tried to talk him out of the task, I am sure the devil tried to discourage him. He desired God in his life more than friends, popularity and acceptance in this world. He realized at the end, better to be shut in with God than shut out.I am sure he felt like giving up, and I am sure there were many trials along the way. He never gave up-the story of Noah isn’t about the ability to build, but the ability to keep on building.Even though Noah was ridiculed for it, even though he didn’t understand what it was he was building, he understood the one who had asked him to build it. This is the first step of a winner, doing exactly what God asks you to do. Noah had a long, hard task given to him, but he did exactly what God told him to do.Here are some lessons we learn from Noah’s life. Noah was to build this ark, a giant boat to save his family from a flood. Noah- Genesis 6:14-make thee an ark- this seems like such a simple statement but what a monumental task. Today, that is our message, don’t quit, don’t stop, don’t give up and don’t give in, and you will be a winner. He made a observation that many times to be a winner, means you just won’t give up, you just won’t give in, and you won’t quit no matter how hard the race gets in life.
He was saying, it isn’t always the strongest guy, it isn’t always the fastest guy, that wins in life. *Solomon was saying something out of a coaches manual. The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong Winners never quit and quitters never Win Today, I would like to use that for our sermon, and realize to be a person of God, sometimes it is a matter of choosing to be a winner. The price of victory is high, but so are the rewards.Īnd of course, Winners never quit, and quitters never win. You have got to want it more than the next guy. It isn’t the size of the man, but the size of the heart in the man. Here are some of the sayings I do remember from that one year of football from the coaches. But my dad said, if you start quitting now you will quit the rest of your life, so I stuck it out. I am glad that I did play that one year because every day of practice I wanted to quit. Two a days in August are a one of a kind experience. I only played one year of football in Tallassee and that was enough for me. Ntro: it is that time of year again where football in Alabama becomes a big subject around the state.
