TOPIC: POWER TO FINISH WELL AND FINISH STRONG (2)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 122-123; 1 Timothy 1-2
MEMORY VERSE: 1 Corinthians 9:24: Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE: The one who remains steadfast till the end is the one who obtains the prize.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY: Let the anointing for excellent finishing come upon your life, in the name of Jesus.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Timothy 4:6-8(NIV)
6 For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day—and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
PRAISE & WORSHIP
The Bible contains records of those who kept their gaze on God from the start to the finish line. They all ended well and finished strongly. Paul, in spite of his past, kept his gaze on the Master who had called him (Acts 26:19). This is a good example of a strong finishing. From our Fire Scripture, we see that he was confident that he had completed his divine assignment. He was not disobedient; he stayed on course and ran to the finish line without being distracted. He fulfilled his call and left a godly legacy to upcoming Christians.
As soon as a runner loses focus, he misses the mark and he will finish poorly like Uzziah. Samson lost focus and he ended up dying with his enemies. His destiny was short-lived as a result of carelessness and disobedience to divine instructions. He killed more men at his death than in his lifetime but his assignment was unfinished. The same can be said about King Saul, the first King of Israel. He started well with God but ended badly by seeking help from the witch of Endor. Eli was a priest, but his generation lost the priesthood because he failed God in his duty as a father. All those who forgot God or pushed Him to the back seat of their lives never finished well.
One great lesson we all should learn from this is that a lifetime of good and wise living can be marred by a moment of carelessness and foolishness. So, be careful! The Bible warns us in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that he who thinks he stands, should beware, lest he fall. It simply means you should never assume you are beyond divine control. Watch and pray. Keep following divine prompting and you will never fail or fall. You will definitely finish well and finish strong, in the name of Jesus.
