DAILY DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FROM MERCYLAND MINISTRIES SUNDAY 18 APRIL 2021.
Topic: It’s About the Way You Finish.
Today’s Scripture: I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith: Second Timothy chapter 4 verse 7, (NIV). NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION.
Message: So often, when people make mistakes, they get down on themselves and think, “If only…” “I should have…” “What if…?” It’s easy to feel like you’ve missed the best plan for your life. That’s when people get discouraged and stop pursuing their God-given dreams. But understand today, just because you’ve made a mistake or failed in some way, that doesn’t cancel God’s plan. God never disqualifies you. He never says, “Go sit on the side-lines. You’ve blown it too many times. You’ve got too many weaknesses.” No, God always gives you another chance!
Some of the great people in the Bible initially made very poor choices. The apostle Paul started off as a murderer, yet his destiny was bigger than his mistakes. He ended up becoming a great leader and writing over half of the New Testament. What am I saying? Our mistakes, our failures, our poor choices don’t have to keep us from our God-given destiny. With God, it’s not about the way you start in life, it’s about the way you finish. Receive His grace today and embrace the bright future He has in store for you!
Prayer for Today: Father, thank You for Your grace and mercy to me. I trust that my days are ordered by You. I ask that You strengthen and empower me to fulfill Your call on my life. I love You and bless You today in Jesus’ name. Amen.
Prophetic Declaration: Don’t give up in the middle. Brother, sister, press on and press through! You’re in a spiritual race in this world. God, (the umpire) is a Righteous Judge. He doesn’t disqualify people at the middle of the race, provided you don’t disqualify yourself. As long as you’re alive, the race is still on, and whistle is yet to be blown. “It’s not over until it’s over!” You shouldn’t, and neither should you allow anyone to prematurely assume or determine your final outcome, until you breathe your last breath. I decree and declare that your today’s mistakes, failures, poor choices shall not keep you from actualising the God-given good destiny that’s in store for your future. You shall be able to see, exactly the way Joseph in the Bible saw his great future afar off, tenaciously held unto it, and actualised it. Grace to continue trusting the Lord Jesus, and become a winner, finish very well is given to you in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
JESUS SAID: “Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to each person according to what they have done. Revelation chapter 22 verse 12 (NIV). Are you ready for the second coming of Jesus Christ? Please give your life to Jesus.
