STEPS TO FINISHING STRONG

Text : Ecc 7:8  

Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

Undoubtedly, many are earnestly preparing for 2021. Great as that idea may be, I need to remind you that we still have 3 days to go in 2020. Prepare yourself for the better part of this year. A lot can still happen in three days if only you will position your mind for it. So here are few steps to finishing strong not just in 2020 but in everything you set to do:

1.) *Have self control;* Constantly put yourself under check. Anyone who desires to go far in life must learn to put his body under. 'But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.'1Co 9:27.

2.) *Don't settle in your best*; One key to greater exploit is to never get satisfied with your latest achievement. Always reach forth to things ahead Phil. 3:13.

3.) *Push Forward*; Don't wait to be pushed, push yourself forward. Phil. 3:10-13.

4.) *Don't praise yourself :* It is more honorable to let others praise you than you blowing your own trumpet. And even at that, learn to give all the Glory to God. Prov. 27:2.

5.) *Don't complain;* This is a golden rule. Do all things without murmurings and disputings:Phi 2:14.

6.) *Have Faith in God:* Faith in God will help you please God. It will help you accomplish great things. It will help you move mountains. Mark 11:22-24.

7) *Set your gaze on Jesus*:.always set your eyes on Jesus. Heb. 12:2.

Bible reading: 2 Cor. 6: 1-18.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
