*I WILL NOT GIVE UP, MY ENEMY WILL GIVE UP.* (Series 3) *Scripture Reading:* Proverbs 24:16 *"for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes."*(Proverbs 24:16 NIV) *"For a righteous man falls seven times, and rises again, But the wicked stumble in time of disaster and collapse."*(AMP) Yesterday, we started looking at what it means to quilt. We shall see from where we stopped. *3) To quilt is to discourage your Angel by decided not to pray again:* The moment you decided to stop praying, you put an end to open doors of answering prayers. There's an ANGEL on assignment for your sake but the moment you agree to quilt in praying, you render your Angel powerless in working in your favor. *"Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared [beside him] and a light shone in the cell. The angel struck Peter’s side and awakened him, saying, “Get up quickly!” And the chains fell off his hands."*(Acts 12:7 AMP). *4) To quilt is to cage yourself in the dark room:* Decided to stay in a dark room is agreement to total darkness. And the moment a man agreed with total darkness, it means, failure had set in. *5) To quilt is to surrender to depression and rejection:* Believing that there's no hope anywhere, everyone has turn their back against me.

Good morning and happy Sunday, peace. *Prayer point:* I close the doors of my heart to depression and rejection, I will not end up a failure in Jesus Christ name. Amen! T.S. AFOLAYAN
