Finish line ought to be the focal point

Finish line ought to be the focal point The analogy of evaluating “athletic completion” to “Christian living” is a theme frequently repeated in scripture. Summary: Oftentimes, when we see the street ahead getting rough, we favor to provide up and quit. God in no way promised us a road of roses, but he did promise us a way to victory. When we are advised that we should finish the race, we get excited and push harder. However, when the avenue gets rough, we lose encouragement. We see the potholes and the winding avenue and favor to give up. I can relate. 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 shouts it plain and clear. When we come to the know-how of God, we are right now put into a race. At first, the race appears easy. Things are going great. Everything is going splendidly for us. Then, tragedy strikes. The street gets bumpy and we lose some faith. We think God has abandoned us and we slip returned a little. 1 Corinthians 9:24-25 says this: "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but o...

Sound Financial Advice

Throughout the Bible, Jesus talks about sowing seed of belief in finances. Give anything little you have as that little boy in  the Bible came with 5 loaves and two fishes and gave it Jesus, and it used to be increased and fed to extra than 5000 guys alone. Sound economic advice   ‘The sensible have wealth…but fools spend something they get.’ Proverbs 21:20 It’s silly to purchase matters you don’t want and can’t afford, mainly when your payments are late and you’ve nothing set apart for the future. Your monetary protection is decided via what you owe, no longer with the aid of what you earn! Having to work for years to repay debt severely limits your options. So, decide your life-style via your real income, no longer by way of what you desire it was once or hope it will be. And when you get a raise, don’t mechanically spend more. The Bible says, ‘There is…treasure…in the living of the wise, however a silly man squanders it’ (Proverbs 21:20). One of the wisest matters you can d...

Put God to the test and see what happens!

‘Bring the complete tithe…Test me in this.’ Malachi 3:10  God is a meticulous planner. For example, He scheduled a dinner party known as ‘the marriage supper of the Lamb’ two thousand years in enhance (see Revelation 19:9). He advised Noah to construct the ark ‘450 toes long, seventy five toes wide, and forty five toes high’ (Genesis 6:15). He gave Moses the precise shades and fabric He desired used in setting up the tabernacle (see Exodus 26). And appear how exactly He orders the seasons and positions the stars. Can you think about such a God having no layout for your budget – the product of your work life?   Surely not! In Scripture He says: ‘Bring the entire tithe into the storehouse…Test me in this…see if I will not…open…heaven and pour out so a lot blessing…there will now not be room sufficient to keep it.’ The unique phrase for ‘whole’ is ‘unbroken’; that potential earlier than taxes and different deductions. Why? Because He wishes to be first in your existence in the wh...

'Seek His face continually

'Seek His face continually .' 1 Chronicles 16:11 A good relationship is based on being sensitive to the other person’s needs, and to do that, you must make the relationship a priority and spend time together. The difference between ‘catching a few moments’ with the Lord and spending quality time with Him is like the difference between driving through McDonald’s and spending the evening at a fine restaurant. At McDonald’s you drive up, shout into a microphone and drive around to a window where they hand you a bag of food. In a fine restaurant you sit down, savour every bite in a relaxed atmosphere, and leave satisfied and nourished. Too many of us live on spiritual fast food and never experience the banquet God has for us. The Bible says, ‘Seek His face continually .’ Have you learned how to stay in God’s presence and enjoy it? When it comes to prayer, we all face two challenges: (1) Lack of desire. We complain about lack of time, but the truth is we make time for wh...

Make Prayer A Habit

ROMANS 12:12 NRSV 12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in suffering, persevere in prayer. Prayer is a habit that, like every other good habit, must be developed. You know you need to pray. You need God's help, His wisdom and His guidance. But you must persevere in prayer. The activities of life try to keep you from praying. So persevere! LUKE 21:36 BBE 36 But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man. In communing with God, you gain strength that comes in no other way. You find the wisdom and courage to face life and overcome. 1 THESSALONIANS 5:17-18 ICB 17 Never stop praying. 18 Give thanks whatever happen. That is what God wants for you in Christ Jesus. Learn to always include God in your thoughts. Ask Him about everything. Cultivate your relationship by continual communication. And one of the most important things for you to communicate to God is your gratitude. Tha...
