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.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
