As we end the year 2013, we have almost finished our race.
But before we start a new race, let's see if we have finished our race or not?
2 Timothy 4:7
"I have fought the good fight, i have finished the race, I have kept the faith"
But how do we finish the race?
In a race, it doesn't matter on how you start it.
It only matters when you have crossed the finish line.
Start with Jesus and End with Jesus!
But how do we start with Jesus?
By how it was said on Romans 10:9
"that if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved"
Jesus is your Oxygen & Energy Drink
He is not only the extra boost you need, but He is the source of energy in our lives.
Zech 4:6
"not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit" says the Lord Almighty.
In a race, we can't look back!
We have to have our Eyes on the Prize.
Jesus is our Prize. He is the goal we have to reach!!
DO NOT GIVE UP!!
There is one bible verse that I have always loved since I was small.
Phil 4:13
"I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me"
To finish the race, we need not only Speed, but we need Endurance and Self Control.
1 Cor 9:24-27
Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize.
25 Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever.
26 Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air.
27 No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
Don't bother about your rivals or in this case, your burdens and problems.
Because you have won already, by the Blood of Jesus!
Rev 12:11
And last but not least, KEEP FAITH.
Faith is the key to your success.
Faith is like a medal.
Your Faith in Jesus will show the world the Secret to your winning.
So, are you ready to Finish the race?
