Stay in the Race

In the wake of confronting a multiplicity of challenges, this is the not the time for faithful disciples of Christ to panic but earnestly fight the good fight of faith. So many distractions, increased warfare-Is there not a cause to pray fervently for supernatural intervention in this season? Yes, there is a cause to Arise as a carrier of the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout your sphere of influence. You may be exhausted, disappointed or discouraged due to enduring under tremendous pressures on your journey, however, be encouraged.  God is faithful to bring you into a place of restoration, refreshing in healing streams so that you can catch your breath and continue the race.
Thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of Him. (2 Corinthians 2:14)
 (Hebrews 12: 1,2 MSG) Do you see what this means, all these pioneers who blazed the way; all these veterans cheering us on? It means we'd better get on with it. Strip down, start running and never quit! No extra spiritual fat, no parasitic sins. Keep your eyes on Jesus who both began and finished the race we're in.

Are You Available?


Romans 11:33-12:1,2. Have you ever come on anything quite like this extravagant generosity of God, this deep, deep wisdom? It's way over our heads. We'll never figure it out. Is there anyone around who can explain God? Anyone smart enough to tell Him what to do?Anyone who has done Him such a huge favor that God had to ask his advice? Everything comes from Him; everything happens through Him; everything ends up in Him. Always glory! Always praise! Yes. Yes. Yes. So here's what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life-your sleeping, eating, going to work, walking around life and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for Him. Don't become so well adjusted to your culture that you fit in without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You'll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what He wants from you and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well formed maturity in you.
