Courage is crucial for a life of impact. It is the backbone of all commanders.
That is why if you are not courageous, you never become a commander.
For sure, in every area of human endeavour there are challenges,
but courage is what you need to deal with them.
It is the answer to every challenge, no matter its size or duration.
With courage, no matter how tough the opposition gets,
you can always subdue it.
There will definitely be times when nobody would encourage you.
At such times you must encourage yourself.
If you are not a self-encouraged person,
you may die in discouragement.
"...But David encouraged and strengthened himself in the Lord his God."-1 Samuel 30:6
"Be strong (confident) and of good courage,.... Only you be strong and very courageous,
that you may do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you.
Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go."- Joshua 1:6-7

So true Akinola. We must encourage ourselves in the Lord. He is our source.
