PATIENCE

"I waited patiently for the Lord, and He inclined to me and heard my cry."     Psalm 40.1

Trust is a virtue very few people possess. This is why very few people are also saved. Those who trust in God's promises aren't shaken by the storms. Instead, they wait patiently for their blessings because they trust that He who promised them is faithful and does not fail.

TEETH AND NAILS

"But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience."        Luke 8:15

Only 1 out of every 4 people that hears the word, bears fruit.
Out of every 4 who hear the Word of God, only 1 keeps it and gives good fruit.
What is this person's secret of success?
They listen and practice, listen and practice, listen and practice...
In other words, they fight, persevere and defend their faith with teeth and nails, even if they have to go against the world all by themselves.

KEEPING THE FAITH

"By your patience, possess your soul."     Luke 21.19

The devil is persistent. He tries, tries, tries and continues trying to corrupt the heart and conquer the soul. The secret to defeat him is to resist, resist, resist and continue resisting at all cost. It is better to remain in the Kingdom of God without a boyfriend, without a husband, without family and without friends, then it is to have the whole world at your feet and lose your soul.

RENEW ME

"Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me."     Psalm 51.10

No sincere prayer goes unanswered. No matter how great the sin was against God, against others or against yourself, sincerity will destroy all of hell's plans. David was an example of this. He received God's mercy because his heart was sincere. 
You can destroy all of hell's plans too. Tear your heart open before the Lord Almighty and your life will never be the same. 

RESTORE

"Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit."    Psalm 51.12

The biggest and most difficult thing to attain in this world is the salvation of the soul. Jesus compared it to a hidden treasure buried in a field, and when someone finds it, they are willing to sell EVERYTHING THEY OWN to buy that field. However, it is even harder to get back the joy of salvation after it has been lost. If you, dear reader, doubt this is true, just ask anyone who has been through a similar experience. 

TENDER MERCIES

"Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Your loving kindness, according to the multitude of Your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions."     Psalm 51.1

Every sincere prayer has an immediate answer. Especially when it's from a sinner who is repentant. Look at David, for example, who sinned greatly and God still forgave him. The same is true for you too. 
The Secret: sincerity and faith.

FEAR AND TREMBLE

"The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction."     Proverbs 1.7

When the fear of God is absent from someone's life, the spirit of sin will dominate even the strongest man. With him come suffering, followed by death. These people's daily bread have shortened their days.
But the wise man prolongs his days by practicing the words that come from the mouth of God.
