SIGNS OF THE SECOND COMING IN THE CHURCH By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (Several part lesson)

JESUS IS COMING! ARE WE READY? LIFE IS ABOUT GETTING UP AND TRYING AGAIN!

WANT TO? CAN WE GET UP WHEN LIFE KNOCKS US DOWN? LIFE IS NEVER EASY. THE SPOT LIGHT OF WEALTH AND FAME MAY HAVE A LARGE PRICE TAG… ARE WE WILLING TO TAKE PERSONAL CRITICISM? WHY DID MICHAEL JORDAN SUCCEED? … HE LEARNED WE MUST TURN FAILURE INTO EXPERIENCE.

A MAN NAMED LEROY SMITH STARTED THE PROCESS OF JORDAN’S GREAT SUCCESS. Did you know in 1978 Michael Jordan was a sophomore and he tried out for his high school basketball team? The coach said he was not good enough and he was cut from the team. Michael was asked to play Junior Varsity. Jordan was devastated. He tells that he went home, locked himself in his room and cried and cried. He did not make the team. This might appear bad but Michael says this made him a better person and a better player. When we lose and think we are a failure… this tends to breed failure. BUT WE MUST get up and try again. When MJ was cut from the team he cried then he quit crying and started practicing hour after hour.

What makes a person successful? Listen to Michael’s story.

*He missed more than 9,000 shots in his career.

*He lost over 300 games.

*He was trusted 26 times to make the game winning shot and he missed it. They lost the game.

*Jordan says: “I HAVE FAILED OVER AND OVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE AND THAT IS WHY I SUCCEED.”

*JORDAN SAYS: WHERE IS YOUR WANT TO? IF YOU WANT TO BAD ENOUGH YOU WILL GET UP AND TRY AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN.
