Dr. John A. King outlines five qualities needed to overcome adversity: courage, tenacity, thick skin, focus on the future, and overcoming mistakes. He draws on Biblical examples like Joseph, Moses, and Jesus to show how breakthrough happens.
Hey, church. Morning. Sitting here getting ready for tonight. I want to speak tonight on 5 qualities needed to break through. You know, we all have times in our lives where we face a particular challenge, be it a health challenge, a weight loss goal, a financial challenge, a spiritual challenge, a relational challenge, and we want to see that breakthrough happen in our life. There's 5 things that I've noticed over the last 25 years of ministry and business that seem common amongst people who get to that next stage. You know, Joseph was stuck in a prison for 2 years, and then— but he got to that place where boom, his opportunity turned up and he's in the palace. So what keeps a man going and focused on the things of God and the possibility and hope ahead of him for 2 years in a jail? Moses, 40 years in the desert, what kept him going? Our Lord, stuck in the Garden of Gethsemane, understanding all that's coming his way, what kept him going to fulfill his ultimate destiny and fulfill the future that God the Father had for him? So here are 5 things: courage, tenacity, a thick skin, keeping focused on the future, and overcoming mistakes. So they're the things I'm going to talk on tonight. Look forward to seeing you there. Invite your friends and family. Come along. I'm sure Angela or Mel will get hold of you about bringing something tonight, and it's going to be great to sit around and have a chat. All right. Cheers.
