DO NOT GIVE UP
PROLIFIC LIFE DEVOTIONAL

By Apostle Gabriel-Wealth Olatuja
Opening Scripture
"And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." — Galatians 6:9 (KJV)
A young farmer planted maize on a large piece of land. Day after day, he watered the soil, removed weeds, and protected the farm from pests. Weeks passed, yet he saw little growth. Discouraged, he decided to abandon the farm.
As he walked away, an elderly man stopped him and said, "The seeds are working beneath the ground. What you cannot see today is preparing tomorrow's harvest."
The farmer returned and continued his work. A few weeks later, his field became one of the most productive farms in the village. Had he given up, he would have missed the harvest that was already on its way.
Many people quit when their breakthrough is closer than they realize.
Life often presents challenges that test our faith, patience, and determination. There are moments when prayers seem unanswered, efforts appear unrewarded, and progress feels slow. During such times, the temptation to quit becomes strong.
However, God's Word encourages us not to give up. Every seed of prayer, obedience, diligence, and faithfulness has a harvest attached to it. The fact that you do not see immediate results does not mean God is not working behind the scenes.
Remember that some of God's greatest blessings come after seasons of waiting. Joseph endured years of hardship before becoming a ruler. David was anointed king long before he sat on the throne. Their victories came because they refused to quit.
When challenges arise, do not focus on the size of the obstacle; focus on the greatness of God. Your current struggle is not the end of your story. If you remain steadfast, your trials will turn into testimonies.
"Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest." — Joshua 1:9 (KJV)
Confession
I refuse to give up. The Lord is my strength and my helper. Every challenge before me shall become a testimony. I will remain faithful, steadfast, and hopeful because all things are working together for my good. I shall reap my harvest is coming and get my breakthrough in Jesus' name. Amen.
Prayer Points
1. I receive the strength, courage, and grace to persevere through every challenge and never give up on my divine assignment in Jesus' name.
2. Every delay, disappointment, and struggle in my life turn into a testimony and bring me into my season of harvest and breakthrough in Jesus' name.
