The very fact that you are alive and reading this today is a testament to your resilience and the grace of new opportunities. Congratulations on making it this far — you are already a living testimony of persistence and faith.
As I reflected on the inauguration of President Trump yesterday, I was reminded of the stories of President Tinubu and former President Buhari. Their journies highlight one common thread: resilience. Despite challenges and setbacks, they pushed forward, proving that determination can turn impossibilities into realities.
Similarly, the story of the Syrophoenician woman in Matthew 15:22 teaches us about unwavering faith. Even when she was initially ignored and likened to a dog, she did not waver. Her persistence ultimately moved Jesus to grant her request. This powerful story reminds us that relentless faith can break down even the toughest barriers.
Life will not always hand us what we desire on a silver platter. There will be moments when the odds seem stacked against us, opportunities feel out of reach, and doors appear tightly shut. But as we step into 2025, let us remember this: the doors we think are firmly locked may only be loosely closed, waiting for us to knock harder.
In your pursuit of growth, success, and fulfillment, resolve to persist. Knock louder, push harder, and keep believing. The one who refuses to give up is often the one who discovers the greatest breakthroughs. You have the strength and determination to overcome any obstacle, and no challenge is greater than your faith.
This year, let’s embrace every challenge as an opportunity for growth. Move forward boldly, knowing that success belongs to those who persevere. Remember, persistence is not just about knocking on the door; it’s about keeping faith while you knock.
It’s your time to shine, to overcome, and to claim the success waiting for you. Don’t stop knocking — your door is about to open!
Stay strong, stay undaunted, and may this year bring the fulfillment of your deepest desires.
