RACE TO ETERNITY

RACE TO ETERNITY

 Hebrews 12:1

 Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
--------------------------------------------
In a race, no one wants to be last. Everyone strives to be the first to finish it. Even when they all know that one person has to emerge as a winner, they all try their best with hard work and each person knows will win. 
Anyway, our race in salvation is not a win lose. We all are meant to win. But then if we all must win, who are we fighting against. Then we should say that the Battle is between two personalities; the deeds of darkness and the deeds of light. 

There is one side that is to win and there is one side that is to lose. The scripture tell us how though outwardly we may be wasting away but inwardly we are increasing day after day. There is something to lose in flesh in order to gain in the spirit . The race to eternity is one where you make sure your fleshly dark-like desires lose and your inner good character wins. 

But the question is , how do we win the battle.? In the race, as they all strive to win, they all have one thing in common. They all fix their eyes in front and never like to be distracted by anything. Even the clothing that they wear are to be fitting and not inconveniencing at any one point. The way has to be clear. Perseverance is key to even the losers in the race...even when they know they are many meters away from the first runner, they still press on.

Fixing our eyes onto Christ who is the finisher of our faith is one thing that will enable us to win the battle. You have to persevere in the pains of the race. You need to call onto Christ to perfect and make straight your faith. You need to walk in paths that are blameless. All the inconveniences should be removed. The sin that entangles our feet in the race should be removed. If you could only make a list of the sins that entangle you , and remove one after the other, you will be a victim to victory. 
The race to eternity needs you to put in a little more effort. Put in more love, more tactic. You need to make the race better each day. And one thing to hold at the back is of your mind is that if Christ is for you, you, we shall win.

                      GOD BLESS YOU

TRIBE OF LENDERS

TRIBE OF LENDERS   Proverbs 19:17  He who is kind and generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will reward him for what he has done. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life with the mind of "it's not enough...it's not enough". By nature, we were created to recognize the fact that it's we first then .... We were created to survive and always know that there is not enough. Our genes have been made to think about ourselves alone and how we survive in the world of scarcity. This fact that thrives within us is not supposed to be proved true. There are several results that God has set for those that prove such rules wrong. You know, when you try to go against human nature and try to mimic the nature of God, you attract more of what God has set for the cause. As the human nature is self centered and self seeking, stepping out of such to pursue kindness and open hands attracts God's attention...it attracts the rewa...

OLDEN STRENGTH

OLDEN STRENGTH Psalm 77:1 I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago. -------------------------------------------- It is easy to go through life thinking about the future and forgetting the past. Craving for the future is one thing I have realized does not end. Even the very rich still have cravings. There can not be a moment where cravings end and the mind is inactive only thriving in gratification. Such a moment is only created by us. Anyway, that was a by- the- way. Our point starts from here. The future does not hold the roots but the past does. The roots are not from the sky but are from where the tree started. What makes the tree strong are the roots .  What makes the future strong are the roots. They are the past. You cannot know where you should go unless you know where you came from. How typical you may know where you came from is another factor.  Knowing that God is great is not knowing the future that holds. Knowing that Go...

RADICAL SOUL

RADICAL SOUL Matthew 5:16 In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. --------------------------------------------    In our world today, it is easier to have your light set under the table than to have it be on top of the table. It is easier to move in a group than to move alone. Standing for the right is harder nowadays than it was those days. Not because the governments have become more ruthless than they were those days, but because powerful governments of social influence have arisen than they were those days. The weapons available today are more stronger than what it was those days with the luxuries available...the developments. The 'social governments' have set standards which will not tolerate any fickle person in their space. And being a standing army of a government we represent...one of divine agendas, means we need to be rooted in one way. We need the spirit of typicality.  Of course...
