In the days when boxing matches lasted for 20 and 30 and 40 rounds, they fought until one of them couldn't fight anymore. In the heavyweight division, there was a lightweight fighter called Jim Corbett. His ring name was Gentleman Jim Corbett. He was fighting guys 20, 30 pounds bigger than him. It was unbelievable the punishment these men took with small gloves that cut and bruised every punch. And Jim Corbett became the world heavyweight champion. And one day someone said, Tell us, what's your secret, Gentleman Jim? What makes you so unique in the fact that you're a small, a lightweight, fighting against these great big guys? And Jim Corbett said this. He says, I'll go back to the... I expect a beating up front because the guy's bigger and stronger than me. And I'll sit back on my stool between rounds and I'll say to myself, Jim Corbett, you are going to fight one more round. And after a while, five rounds, ten rounds, fifteen rounds, twenty rounds, the guy on the other corner starts looking around his attendants, looking over to say, What on earth is keeping this guy going? Why isn't he not quitting? Because I'm going to fight one more round. You may have gone through hell. You may have been beaten silly by the world. Well, listen to me. I want you to tell the devil today, I am fighting one more round. Today is not the day I'm going to quit. And if you do it, the devil has got no answer against you. You are going to succeed in the name of Jesus. Aye. And it's going to change your life. ! Aye. Aye. Aye.
