Adversary quotient

ADVERSARY QUOTIENT

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9 NKJV).

We all suffer falls, but those that triumph get back up. Those who triumph tolerate the pain caused by the growth process, while others avoid the pain of the process and compromise their values. Nowadays, many settle down and say, “I am a fulfilled person”. Therefore, they conform because they do not want to go through the pain of growing.

It is time to open our eyes and understand that we need to adopt the attitude of a learner. None of us were born “knowing it all” and it shouldn’t be our goal to know it all, instead we should aim to be people who are constantly learning new things despite our challenges and difficulties. Today I want to share what the adversary quotient reveals about a person.

1. The adversary quotient reveals a person’s ability to face misfortune and their capacity to overcome it.

2. The adversary quotient predicts who will overcome adversary and who will give up when they are before problems.

3. The adversary quotient predicts who will exceed the expectations of their potential and who will not.

4. The adversary quotient predicts who will give up and who will prevail.

Paul said the following:

“Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 3:13-14 NKJV).

I don’t know your fears or insecurities, but I do know that there is no such thing as someone who cannot overcome adversaries in to better themselves. It doesn’t matter if you have a high, average or below average intelligence quotient, what matters is that you be determined to forget the past in order to reach what’s in front of you. “Give ityour all” (Pastor Guillermo Jimenez).

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9 NKJV).

Think about it:

What adversaries do you need to overcome?
What place do you need to get back up from?
