KEEP RUNNING (2)

-

Psalm 18:29 KJV

[29] For by thee I have run through a troop; and by my God have I leaped over a wall.


Everyone in life is running a race. When a race is to begin, the whistle is blown and everyone takes off but they do not arrive the finish line at the same time. So also in life there’s a time to enter the race and a time to exit. In between the entry and the exit, it is important we run with patience, though passionately, the race that is set before us. As you run, some will commend you and some will condemn you. Their opinion is not important and should not be your yardstick. 2 Timothy 2:4 KJV

[4] No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.

There are rules guiding your race and that is what you should stick to. You are accountable to the person who put you on track and field. Avoid being disqualified. Do all it takes to succeed. King Saul got himself disqualified in his race as a king because of people factor. Don’t set yourself up for failure. You are born to succeed. In a game, one takes the prize but the spiritual prize is not limited to one winner. However there are winners and losers in the kingdom. Winning today requires practicing yesterday consistently. Some have left their race to run the race of others while some are out to make others stumble. Don’t be a hinderance to others. Be the best that you can be and run your race having it at the back of your mind that you are born to win. Your beliefs control your behavior. Draw strength from the Lord and you will overcome every obstacle. Your helper will surely help you as you depend on Him. Go forth in this your might and excel. 

Shalom

    Surely our race in life is different and should be guided by the rules of the Almighty God who called us into the race

Uncontrollable Circumstances of life

I woke on the 4th of June which was my birthday with a heart of thanksgiving. I honestly have so many reasons to thank God looking at the goodness of God in my life. It was a Sunday and the church celebrated me, coupled with the fact that the day before was our 28th wedding anniversary. So it was double celebration characterized with so much singing and dancing, giving glory to God.  Usually my parents will call early to sing and pray, which was their custom for all their children and grandchildren, but they didn’t call me. I assumed it was because it was a Sunday and they knew we will be getting ready for church.  After service I called to ask why they didn’t call me, my mom said I should put that aside. They prayed for me. I spoke with my mom thrice that day, the last was 6pm when she called saying she will be going to buy something. I said I’ll come the following day to take since she prefers I drive her instead of her driver, but she said I shouldn’t bother. My dad called me at 8:3

DON’T GIVE UP

  Challenges and dificulties are unavoidable. They come whether you are walking in God’s will or not. Sarah, Hannah and Elizabeth had to contend with barrenness. We all have to contend with one challenge or the other at every point in life.  When you are faced with difficult situations, do you give up or walk through? A very good example of a person that persevered is Abraham Lincoln. He failed some many times but he pushed past his failures and eventually became the 16th president of the United States. His name is known till date because he didn’t give up. Life is full of experiences that will make you swim or sink.    Don’t wait to learn to swim when the boat is at verge of capsizing. God is always willing to walk us through every difficult situation. Build a strong relationship with God before crises.  Faith believes what it can’t see which is contrary to the world standard. People can easily relate with what they can see that is why they state the obvious. Always see the light at t

COUNT IT ALL JOY

  James 1:2-3 KJV - My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. Contrary to the normal human mindset, we are instructed to count our trials and temptations as joy. This is kingdom mindset, not the world’s. God’s plan is to use our trials to make us grow and to strengthen us.    This looks impossible to the natural man. That is why the scriptures the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Those trials try our faith and produce patience in you. Faith is built as you hear the word of God, but trials reveal how much faith you have. Faith is tested through trials but not produced by trials. Counting your trials as joy is a way of expressing your faith and it shows whether you are focusing on the trial or on God. When you focus on God, it depicts your trust in Him and empowers you to giv
