D-Day

6th June 1944 marks the first operations of the Allied invasion of Normandy, bringing the whole World War II into a whole different climax. Also known as Operation Neptune and Operation Overlord, the assault was conducted in two phases: an air assault landing of American and British airborne divisions and an amphibious landing of Allied infantry and armored divisions on the coast of France, a surprise attack on the Nazi army. The operation was the largest single-day invasion of all time, with over 130,000 troops landed on June 6, 1944. 195,700 Allied naval and merchant navy personnel were involved.

Thousands upon thousands gave their life for the sovereignty and freedom of their own homeland. A battle where life and death is on the line.

For every great man and woman history has to offer, each will have his or her own D-Day(s) to conquer.

Here are the 4 D-Days we all will face, while on the way to being the great man or woman God has intended for us to be.

1. Disillusion
One day you will just find that the hero in your heart has fallen. The figure that you so looked up to, is not really what you think he is. The person you aspire to be, the one you loyally and faithfully served, suddenly stinks like no other and may even turn and come after your very life. The beauty of the image is shattered.

Many turn cynical and become as foul as the person they used to aspire to be.
But we have a choice; the decision to reaction is ours and ours alone.
Never allow disillusion to turn into cynicism.
Let God help you to develop a gracious spirit.
Be merciful and not cynical.


2. Discouragement
The day when you fail (let’s face it, not everything you attempt to do will be successful)
Great people’s success is usually built on around 5% of what they do
You need faith when you are discouraged.
And you got to get up again.


3. Depression
There may be days that you think it’s easier to die than to live for Christ.
To live for Him when you are in the time of depression
Depression is like a black pit with slippery side. And down there is the devil.
God is watching us, when we are in the pit at a snowy day n the devil is in the middle of it all. That’s the time when you really got to have faith.
Pull out the Word of God!
Greater is He who is in me than whatever is around me.
“I AM GOING TO GET THROUGH THIS!
I MAY BE GOING THROUGH A TRIAL, BUT I AM GOING TO A TRIUMPH. I AM GOINIG TO BEAT THE DEVIL!”


4. Death
Most dreams die; they don’t die, they won’t live.
Every vision has a day of death
Every seed has to die if not a plant won’t live.
You got to see Jesus in the death of your dream.
God waits until that dream is so totally dead, and the only resurrection that brings it up is Him.
That dream will raise again.



Rulership comes out from the death of a dream.
THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN, HE STARTED THE GOOD WORK IN YOU. HE WILL BRING YOU TO THE OTHER SIDE! HE IS COMMITTED TO BRING YOU TO THE OTHER SIDE! HE WILL COMPLETE THE GREAT WORK IN YOU


Vision always tarries.
Don’t get ahead of God.
There is an appointed day for fulfillment.


It takes a man of God to draw people back to Jesus. The door is Jesus
Peter’s success in the day of Pentecost was born out of the most terrible day of his life, the day he denied Jesus.
It doesn’t really matter the terrible times you have had, or the hour in your life. You are going to make it in your life.

It’s defeating that lion in the snowy pit, waking up yourself instead of waking Jesus in the storm, having faith when you don’t want to, having a great attitude when you don’t want to. Those are the things that bring out the leader in you.

It’s the day you defeat the devil in that snowy pit.

Strength when every enemy of God is coming against you.
Winning the battle when you are in the middle of it, is what God is looking for


You want people who has won at least a big battle. And you will be in the trenches with him. You don’t want one who can’t beat the devil.
