THE LAW OF REPETITION
What you hear repeatedly, you will eventually believe.
Repetition,
our school teachers know this basic law of learning. That’s why when we were at
school, we learned many things in our early years by repetition. Someone once
said, “You must hear something at least 16 times, before you eventually believe
it”. Television commercials are repeated over and over. These are backed up by
newspaper, magazine, internet and billboard advertisements. The marketers know
we must continually hear and see something before we respond to it.
Romans 10:17 says “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God”.
It simply takes time to absorb a message. Great achievers understand the necessity for their team and those following them, to hear instructions, teaching and training, again and again, before they fully grasp new concepts.
Do not
expect those around you and those with whom you network, to understand
everything instantly. You are a result of a process, you didn’t learn
everything in one go. You had to repeat the times table over and over before
you knew off by heart, 7x3=21. There was a time in your life when you didn’t
even know how to spell HAT.
Jesus
new the power of this principle. Many times we read in the gospels “then spake
Jesus ‘again’ unto them” John 8:12 “Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world:
he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of
life”.
It takes time to grow greatness,
it takes time to build muscles and it takes time to develop your faith.
Recognise and utilise the law of repetition to your advantage.
