Run to win! You must run to win the prize God called you to win. You don’t run to compete with others around you. No man can steal the purpose God chose for you! I'm giving it everything I've got!!! When you are faithful in the little things then God can trust you to be faithful in the big things! We have to run the race He ran! Jesus came to seek and save that which was lost!! We are here to win the lost at any cost!!! We must focus on the harvest because that is our redemptive purpose! That is our assignment… to win lost people!!!
We are not going anywhere if we don’t keep our eyes on the summit and the One standing on the summit is Jesus Christ! Get your eyes off your questions, frustrations, and the things you cannot solve by yourself! The Lord is merciful and tender toward you! When you focus on Him all the things that seem overwhelming will disappear! He will give you the strength and wisdom to face your battle!
Are you a quitter, camper or climber? A climber knows it is not about the camping site, it is about the journey… a journey of purpose, living for the glory of God! You have to endure affliction, persecution, disappointments, setbacks… If you want the prize you have to pay the price! Keep your eyes on the finish line! The winner is the person that gives everything they’ve got! If you want to finish strong you have to remain focused through the journey! You climb connected to the Holy Spirit… stay connected to Jesus and you will bring forth much fruit because you are connected to the Vine!!!
Before God can get you to your destination He has to change your mindset about yourself... When you get rid of every excuse you will start to progress in your life! No matter the odds that are against you... you can rise above every adversity in life!!! You can become more than a conqueror through Jesus Christ in you!!! How high you climb in life is entirely up to you!!!
If you want the Crown, you cannot back down… you have to climb!! If you want to get to the top then you have to refuse to quit and make up your mind to never accept mediocrity! God has called you to the top, so get busy, get climbing and do not stop when the going gets tough!!! Winners never quit and quitters never win... Choose today that you will be a climber and never again settle and camp at anything less than what God has in store for you!
Where there is a promise, there is a process. Where there is a dream, there is a journey. You have to be willing to go through the pit to get to the palace. We might not be where we want to be but we are not where we used to be!! We don’t become negative, we don’t join the campers and quitters club. We are not quitters! Get the quit out of you, stay on the course and do what God destined for you. If you want the victory you have to face your discomfort and pain. We don’t choose the mountain to scale, God does.
Nothing just happens... Don’t shuffle around, get busy shovelling and dig those ditches!!! You make the ditches God will fill the ditches! Don’t allow God’s Word to fall to the ground - act on His Word!!! You do the possible and God will do the impossible! With God all things are possible!!! He is a God that restores your losses, the Way Maker, the Rainmaker! The God of the breakthrough!
God wants you to finish strong! You have a brand new identity in Jesus Christ! Why would you doubt yourself when God doesn’t doubt you? Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad. If you believe you can’t, you won’t! If you believe you can; you will! We, as Christians, cannot be part of this identity crisis. We don’t go on a journey of discovery outside of God. You need to say what God says about you!!!
Get your unction back! Get your function back! Stop making excuses, take your life back! Take your vision, courage, and strength back! Get into the presence of God and recover yourself so that you can be the person God called you to be!!! Walk with God and put away your fears, tears, and insecurities and decide I am different, I hail from God, I have God on the inside of me! Time to get out of the comfort of this world and dream again! The life Jesus calls you into is a life bigger than yourself! Be a risk-taker, not a safety seeker!!
We need Christians to stand up, show up, man up, take responsibility, fight for their brothers and sisters and for their sons and daughters! We need Christians who will understand the urgency of the hour and will understand that enough is enough! Future generations are at stake… the future of your faith! We play to the audience of One!! We don’t seek to have popularity here, we seek to have impact for generations to come!!!!
We are in a war and the war we are in is not cultural against culture but the kingdom of darkness against the Kingdom of light! We cannot be sideline Christians ignorant about what is going on!!! We have to arise and shine and be defenders of the faith!!! It is an urgent hour. Your attention is required. Your action is necessary. This is a spiritual war where you stand and defend your faith - and it starts in your homes. Good men by themselves cannot win this fight, we need to stand together - everybody! We have to fight a common cause, we have to fight for Christianity and defend this Holy Ground!!!
What generation is arising? What generation is next? You are the ones that have to stand up for Jesus in your generation! It is your hour to shine for the glory of God! You have to stand up and be the influencer in your school and to your friends and not be influenced by your friends and the culture that they serve! This is the time for the Church of Jesus Christ to arise and for Christians to claim back the territory that was lost! We need a generation to rise up that knows the power and works of God!! Once you encounter Jesus the world will lose its hold over you!
Don’t allow what happened to you to define you!!! Our identity is found in what God did for us 2000 years ago through Jesus Christ! It does not matter what people think about you, it matters what you think about yourself! You are who God says you are! He who is in you is greater! So you will overcome because you come from above!! You have God living on the inside of you! You might not know what the future holds but He will lead and guide you and get you where you need to be!!! You will be who God says you are! If God lives in you, you have been predestined by God for greatness! You are alive at this hour because God predestined you!!!
When you are down and out there is only one way to get up and about and that is in the presence of God! Every time you press into God’s presence you will find Him. God is going to lift you out of the valley of discouragement and put you back on the mountain top and restore your vision and dreams! Times of refreshing will come from His presence if you have an honest conversation with God! Time to have a conversation with Jesus about what is real, time to get back to the purpose God has for your life because that is where God’s grace is!
What you think will determine how you approach life! You are a victor, not a victim! You are the top dog! You are an eagle not a chicken! Eagle, thou art an eagle. Thou does belong to the sky. Spread forth thy wings and begin to fly! We are instructed not to be like people of this world, we are instructed to set our minds on things above, the Christ-life! We are changed by renewing and renovating our minds! In the mind of God, you are seated in the place of victory! You are righteous, justified, holy, accepted, born again, a royal priesthood, peculiar people, adopted into His family, seated in Heavenly places!
When God looks at you He sees Christ in you! God doesn’t look at the outward appearance He sees the faith in your heart and the obedience to God’s Word! We are going to have to reset our minds to think the thoughts of Christ! Your mind has a great impact on your life! Your thoughts control every aspect of your life! The Bible is the only instrument on planet earth that can reconstruct your mind so that you can live the life God called you to live! Righteous thinking produces righteous living!!!
A lot of people walk and they leave no footprint because they carry no weight or substance and bring no change! They have never taken the time to receive what God promised them which is the substance of the Holy Spirit that brings weight to you and causes those around you to change! What did Jesus give the disciples on the day of Pentecost? Substance, a fire, a fire that can never be quenched, a river that never runs dry!! Respect that fire and that anointing! Without the fire it is just talk without change!
