Topic :Power And Strength For The New Season.
Memory Verse:Hebrews 12:3. Think of what he went through; how he put up with so much hatred from sinners! So do not let yourselves become discouraged and give up.
Bible Reading :Hebrews 12:1-2 GNB. Key Verse: v2.
As for us, we have this large crowd of witnesses round us. So then, let us rid ourselves of everything that gets in the way, and of the sin which holds on to us so tightly, and let us run with determination the race that lies before us. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, on whom our faith depends from beginning to end. He did not give up because of the cross! On the contrary, because of the joy that was waiting for him, he thought nothing of the disgrace of dying on the cross, and he is now seated at the right-hand side of God’s throne.
As children of God, Jesus Christ has become our perfect role model. We have to keep our eyes fixed on him as our standard and role model, to avoid having broken focus. The race of life becomes easier when we focus on him and depend on him for strength and encouragement. He was able to succeed on his own earthly assignment as saviour and deliverer by focusing on the crown and glory he was walking towards in his submission to God’s plan. The joy of the hsrvest of many souls around the universe provided him enough strength that made him pull through when the weight of dying on the cross dawned on him there at Gethsemane, Matthew 26:42. “We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose. Those whom God had already chosen he also set apart to become like his Son, so that the Son would be the eldest brother in a large family. And so those whom God set apart, he called; and those he called, he put right with himself, and he shared his glory with them.” Romans 8:28-30..
All the saints in glory who ran ahead of us are the cloud of witnesses that we enjoy daily when we tune into the realm of the saviour. They cheer us up or encourage us in difficult times with their personal and collective testimonies. Because they made it as humans, we are encouraged to know that we can and will make it also just like themselves. The scenario is just like that of an athlete in the thick of difficult competition who is being encouraged by the cheering wirds or noise of his supporters from the stands, where he draws required strength to stay in contention till he finally overcomes the opposition and wears the crown. “Surely you know that many runners take part in a race, but only one of them wins the prize. Run, then, in such a way as to win the prize.. Every athlete in training submits to strict discipline, in order to be crowned with a wreath that will not last; but we do it for one that will last for ever. That is why I run straight for the finishing line; that is why I am like a boxer who does not waste his punches.” 1 Corinthians 9:24-26.
“Don’t you know? Haven’t you heard? The Lord is the everlasting God; he created all the world. He never grows tired or weary. No one understands his thoughts. He strengthens those who are weak and tired. Even those who are young grow weak; young people can fall exhausted. But those who trust in the Lord for help will find their strength renewed. They will rise on wings like eagles; they will run and not get weary; they will walk and not grow weak.” Isaiah 40:28-31. This new season of visitation and open doors to your victory. You need to wait on the Lord as to be clothed with his power and strength for the new season. You need his power and strength to make the best use of doors of elavation and greatness the Lord is opening in order to bless you till you become a blessing.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because power belongs to you. Thank you because your strength is inexhuastible. As I wait on you this time, clothe me with power and strength that will carry me through the doors you are opening for me in victory in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
