Never surrender

In the 9th Century there was a young man with an army of 500 men. He was going to battle against a mighty king and his army of 3,000 trained soldiers. The king sent a messenger to this young man and the message from the king was: “If you will give up we won’t harm you” 

This young leader called one of his men up and pulled a dagger out of his sheath and said, “Drive this dagger into your heart” Without a moments hesitation and without saying a word he drove the dagger into his heart and fell dead at his feet. He looked at another one of his soldiers and said, “Go and jump in yonder chasm”, and without saying a word that soldier ran and jumped into the chasm and plunged many feet below to his death. 

This young leader said to the king’s messenger, “Now, you go tell your king that we will fight but we will never surrender. Tell him that I have 500 men just like these two that you have seen. Within 24 hrs. your king will be chained with my dog." 

The messenger went back to his king and told him about what had happened and the king ran and the whole army deserted. Within 24 hours the king was tied with a chain around his neck beside of the young leader’s dog. 

They would fight but they would never surrender. 

Don't give up on the dreams God gave you regardless of your age, health, wealth, or your enemies that say it's impossible. With God all things are possible.
