“You need to be aggressive to succeed. Not in
a literal sense but aggressive in ideas, by aiming high and getting people to
follow you”.
Aggressiveness is
discussed with these behaviors:
Accomplishing your mission
without fear or Manding what people around you are saying
Pursuing one’s aims and interests forcefully
The habit of taking positive
action which leads to a successful mission.
Some intellectuals
relate aggressiveness with connectivity to the vision and mission that can make a big
difference in someones life.
In our daily life aggression is always
viewed as a negative quality when we think the behaviors like bullying;
killings, and etc.
Is aggressive practical in
the bible? The bible teaches us that we must learn to have aggressive faith in
order to receive anything from God. Even in the bible the majority of the
people that received a miracle from God were never passive. Most of the time,
they did not sit back and wait for anything to happen or come to them, but they
were rather direct and forward, looking for what they are looking for.
If you read the Bible the
most observant and most aggressive person present would be the most likely one
that got healed.
Did you know that your
aggressive desire was a factor for your receiving anything from God?
Are you beginning to learn
that your passive attitude is probably why you are not healed or receiving what
you asked God for?
This lesson of aggressive
faith is definitely still true for us today. For example, in Matthew 7:7 Jesus
implied that if you were not seeking that you were not finding anything.
Seeking is never sitting
and doing nothing. Therefore seeking is an act of aggression and effort to
search. Certainly the one that got healed at the pool made extraordinary effort
to be the first one in the water. Therefore, God taught the people that being
passive is never a good quality to possess for receiving from God by faith.
For example,” the woman
with the issue of blood did this by physically touching the hem of the garment
of Jesus. Her physical touch of His garment was her pre-established contact
point and the exact moment in time where she stopped being aggressive in her faith,
having believed that she had now received what she desired. Therefore this
woman was totally aggressive to receive right she said was If I touch His
garment I will be healed”.
Did you see how
aggressively she fought her way through the crowd of the other people that were
also trying to touch Him but because only she had faith attached with her
extreme aggression did she receive her healing when they did not. The entire
crowd was aggressively touching Jesus but the others only had aggression
lacking any faith.
Therefore as we prepare
ourselves in in fulfilling our day to day routine we need to aggressive in pursuiting
our goals or desires with firmness in
seeking the Almighty God. Always we need to remember that an aggressive faith is a
receiving faith and a receiving faith is always an aggressive faith. God always
what us to be aggressive to receive what we are praying for.
