TAKE RISK (2)

John Mason wrote in his book, THE IMPOSSIBLE IS POSSIBLE that “The world is a book that those who don’t take risk read only one page”.

 
  Imagine you have a book and everyday you read only one page, how boring will that be? You will agree with me that you will never get to know how interesting the book is. This is an illustration of a life without risk.

 If in this life, you have never been scared, worried, embarrassed, ridiculed, insulted, disappointed, hurt or under pressure, it means you have not taken any risk.

 Most Christians feel that since they have Christ, they don’t need to take risk. But listen to Tommy Barnett, “Many people that they are working by faith when there is no risk, but the truth is, the longer you walk with God, the greater the risk you take”

Dying on the cross was a risk that Jesus Christ took. David is another example of a risk taker. He took the risk when he came out to challenge Goliath. Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Gideon, Joshua, Daniel and others are all examples of risk takers. Success is sweet but it takes risk to achieve it. Stop this play it safe mentality, play to lose, be willing to take risk. Life truly is a risk, to advance in life, we need to take risk that is worth taking.

Life truly is a risk and only those who are brave enough to take the risk make headway.
