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 sidelines, I’ve finished with you. You’ve blown it too many times. You’ve got too many weaknesses and therefore, I’m condemning you!.” No, God will never say that! Instead, He always gives you another chance! Why? Because He’s a loving and gracious God! Full of mercy. Some of the great people in the Bible made mistakes, 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 of 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: American baseball legend, Yogi Berra in 1973 first uttered the phrase: “It’s not over until it’s over”. What this is saying to you is, “Don’t give up too soon; there may still be a chance to succeed”. Grace, endurance with stubborn optimism to wait upon the Lord until evidence of answered prayer is received shall be yours in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. 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.
