Maintain Your Focus; Don’t Give Up

-
Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be
strong (1 Corinthians 16:13).
God wants you to be steadfast in your walk of faith,
because in due season, that is, at the right time,
you’ll reap a harvest, if you don’t give up. As a child of God,
there’re unique abilities that God has placed within you. You
might be at a stage in your life where you’re not sure whether
you should continue doing the things the Lord has committed
to you, due to challenges, persecution, tests and trials. But let
me tell you this: maintain your focus. Don’t give up.
The Bible says if you faint in the day of adversity, if you
give up, because of the troubles and challenges you’re facing,
then your strength is small. But your strength isn’t small,
because the Lord Himself is your strength. To give up in the
day of trouble means you trusted in yourself. 2 Corinthians
3:5 says, “Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any
thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God.” Trust Him
to see you through; He’s your ability.
No wonder, the Spirit of God, through the Apostle
Paul, prays that you be strengthened with might
(miracle-working ability) by the Spirit in your inner man. How
do you strengthen your inner man? It’s through the Word
of God and praying in the Holy Ghost. When you spend
time studying and meditating on the Word, in addition to
speaking in tongues regularly, your spirit is energized with
miracle-working ability. Suddenly, the whole world becomes
small to you, and you see that, really, nothing is impossible to

you.
When you’re strengthened with divine enablement in
your inner man, you become too persuaded to be dissuaded.
You’re like Abraham who, being fully persuaded, staggered
not at the promise of God through unbelief, but was strong in
faith, giving glory to God.
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for the
inspiration and assurance that
comes from your Word. Your
grace is sufficient for me in all
things, and I’m fully persuaded
that my sufficiency is of you.
Thank you for setting me on the
course of eternal success; I
triumph gloriously today and
always, by the Spirit, in Jesus’
Name. Amen. Pastor Chris

What does the Bible say about setting goals?

-

The Bible offers a balanced approach to setting goals that includes making plans yet doing so with wisdom and humility. Jesus’ illustration of building a tower implies that it is a good thing to have set goals ( Luke 14:28 ). To live with no motivation or planning is not God’s desire.  Proverbs 6:6-11  says, “Go to the ant, O sluggard;     consider her ways, and be wise. Without having any chief,     officer, or ruler, she prepares her bread in summer     and gathers her food in harvest. How long will you lie there, O sluggard?     When will you arise from your sleep? A little sleep, a little slumber,     a little folding of the hands to rest, and poverty will come upon you like a robber,     and want like an armed man.” Laziness causes a person to neglect work and fail to exploit the window of opportunity. Summer is the preparation time for winter, and we dare not wile it away. Failure to plan ahead will result in “poverty” and “want.” Wisely setting goals leads to better results: “Th

How do I know if I am a Christian?

Jesus taught that the condition of a person’s heart will manifest itself in his or her behavior: “No good tree bears bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. Each tree is recognized by its own fruit. People do not pick figs from thornbushes, or grapes from briers. A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart” ( Luke 6:43–45 ; cf.  Matthew 7:16 ). So, when considering whether or not you are a Christian, you can consider the kind of fruit that is produced in the life of a Christian: 1.  Complete trust in Christ’s death and resurrection as sufficient payment for the debt we owe God.  A Christian is one who  trusts Christ  exclusively. Doubts come when we fear we must add something to the work of Christ to ensure our salvation.  Ephesians 2:8–9  makes it clear that we are not saved by our works, but by God’s grace alone. No matter how righteous we may appear, none of us come close to e
