Today we are going to explore a profound Zimbabweay proverb that has the power to transform our lives: “Believe and strive, and the impossible will become possible.” This wisdom reminds us that our beliefs and efforts can overcome even the most daunting challenges.
In Matthew 17:20, Jesus tells us, “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you.” (NIV)
This verse emphasizes the importance of faith in achieving the impossible. However, it is not just about faith; it is also about striving. We must take action, make an effort, and persevere in the face of obstacles.
The proverb reminds us that believing and striving are intertwined. When we believe in ourselves, our abilities, and our God given potential, we are more likely to strive for excellence. And when we strive, we are more likely to achieve greatness.
So, how can we apply this wisdom to our lives?
1. Identify Your Impossible
What is the one thing that seems impossible to you right now? Is it a personal goal, a professional challenge, or a relational issue? Identify it, and let us tackle it together.
2. Believe in Yourself and God
Remember that you are not alone. You have God on your side, and He believes in you. Believe in yourself, your abilities, and your potential. You are capable of achieving greatness.
3. Strive with Persistence and Determination
Take action, make a plan, and work towards your goal. Don’t give up, even when faced with obstacles. Persist, and trust that God will guide and empower you.
4. Celebrate Your Progress
Acknowledge and celebrate your progress, no matter how small. This will help you stay motivated and encouraged to continue striving.
In conclusion, dear friends, remember that believing and striving can unlock the impossible. Trust in God, believe in yourself, and take action. With persistence and determination, you will achieve greatness and make the impossible possible.
May this African proverb and the Word of God inspire and empower you to strive for excellence and achieve your impossible. Heavenly Coaching Clinic (HCC)
