Persevere means to maintain a purpose in spite of difficulties (Dictionaray.com)

But, persevere could have bigger meanings!
A young pastor was sitting in a restaurant eating lunch. He opened a letter from his mother he just got that morning.
As he opened it a twenty dollar bill fell out. He thought: “Thanks, mom, I could use that right about now.”
When he finished his meal he noticed a beggar outside on the sidewalk leaning against the light post. He thought: “That fella could probably use the $20 more than I.”
So he crossed out the names on the envelope and put the $20 in the envelope and wrote across the top in large letters. “PERSEVERE!”
So as not to make a scene, he put the envelope under his arm and dropped it as he walked past the man.
The man picked it up and read the message and smiled.
The next day, while the pastor was eating his lunch, the same man tapped him on the shoulder and handed him a big wad of bills.
Surprised the young pastor asked him what that was for?
The man replied, this is your half of the winnings.
“PERSEVERE” came in first in the fourth race at the track yesterday, and he paid 30 to 1.

Beverley has been serving the Lord since she was a child. At an early age, she recognized that God had a special plan for her life, but it was not until in her adulthood that she surrendered her total life to God and accepted the mandate that God placed on her life. The Lord called her into His Kingdom to be an encourager, intercessor, teacher, scribe, priest, and to proclaim the Word of God.
Since then, Beverly has established a blog to teach us to become the oil and wine. The oil and wine are purified and mature products, which is the advanced level that the Lord expected of us.
In 2017, Beverley published her first book, Harm Not The Oil And Wine. In it, she described her trials and how God helped her to overcome them, and to live more victoriously. The book also exposed the enemy of our souls with detailed information about his past defeats and future extinction.
Wright spents most of her time studying the Bible to know the truth of God’s Word. She believes that only God’s truth can expose the deception of the enemy, and uproot and tear down spiritual strongholds.
You can learn more about Beverley’s life and testimony on her website becomingtheoilandwine.com.
You can also find her on Facebook and Google+ under the name of her blog, and on Twitter as @Theoilandwine.
