From Lockdown To Leaping – Pastor E.A Adeboye
NOTE THESE BEFORE LEAPING UP.
Before you take off, you must consider landing.
If you are going to fly an aeroplane, it is very easy to take off but landing is an entirely different story.
Before you take off, you must consider landing. WHY? Because Ecclesiastes 7:8 says “Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof.”
It is far better to remain ordinary than to become ex-successful.
My prayer for everyone listening to me today is that you will never be an ex-champion.
WHY YOU MUST SETTLE THE ISSUE OF LANDING BEFORE YOU TAKE OFF.
One of the most dangerous things that can happen to men is to be successful before they are ready.
Examples from the Bible.
i. 2 Chronicles 26:3-21- A boy became a king at sixteen, things began to go very well because he wasn’t ready; he ended up leper.
