WINNING THE RACE

YOU CAN'T MAKE SPIRITUAL PROGRESS BY LOOKING BACK

Read: Hebrews 12: 1-6

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us - Hebrews 12:1
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
On May 6, 1954, Roger Bannister became the first man in history to run a 

mile in less than 4 minutes. 

Within 2 months, John Landy eclipsed the record by 1.4 seconds. On August

 7, 1954, the two met together for a historic race. As they moved into the last 

lap, Landy held the lead. It looked as if he would win, but as he neared the 

finish he was haunted by the question, "Where is Bannister?"

 As he turned to look, Bannister took the lead. Landy later told a Time magazine

 reporter, "If I hadn't looked back, I would have won!"

One of the most descriptive pictures of the Christian life in the Bible is of an 

athlete competing in a race. 1st Corinthians 9:24-27 tells us that discipline is 

the key to winning. In Hebrews 12:1-2, we are encouraged to lay aside

anything that might hinder our spiritual advancement and to stay focused on Christ. 

And in Philippians 3: 12-13, the apostle Paul said, "I press on,... forgetting those 

things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead."

Lord, give us endurance as we run this race of life. Help us not to wallow in past 

failures, but to be disciplined and to shun sinful ways. May we fix our eyes on the

eternal goal set before us and keep looking unto Jesus. - HGB

Run the straight race through God's good grace,

Lift up thine eyes and seek His face;

Life with its way before us lies,

Christ is the path and Christ the prize. Monsell

WHY WORRY WHEN YOU CAN PRAY?

RID YOUR HEART OF WORRY

Worry is a dreaded disease...

Sipping through the pause of an healthy heart

And rendering the Soul to Sheol

If not binned with alacrity...

Man's want is insatiable, the economist will tell

Whatever need you are able to meet, You bless providence,

Just in a moment, having met that you look for another to worry about... hmm

Medically, its been proven that worry, robs you of your sleep "insomnia"

With the pressing need for a sugar in your blood

It breaks the Immune system

You worry..... You cant sleep...

You cant sleep... You fret... Your heart beats speedily like a late employee rushing to work on a Monday morning

Your heart beats faster... You don't desire food...Your body system triggers head ache / malaria / cancer / what have you, as a result of a break down on the Immune system

I have never heard/seen a "HAPPY WORRIED PERSON"...No

Things we groan about, many at times we don't get them done

Worry wont empty tomorrow of SORROW

Of course, it will rob today of its WEALTH and OPPORTUNITIES

If you are a victim of circumstance, hospitalized as a result of frets, fears and worries

More money to dole out of your coffer

Why worry when you can pray?

Why quake when you can wait?

Why do you fret, ye of little faith?

The just shall live by faith - HEB 10:38

I have been young and now am old, yet I have not seen the

righteous forsaken or his children begging bread - PSALM 37:25

Perhaps we think , this problem is to big and gigantic for God to handle...

For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are--yet was without sin - Heb 4:15

You need to trust the ONE that spoke the world into existence...

TRUST- but I have always trusted God

You trust , do you tithe?

You tithe but reluctantly, like a rich man giving his lovable daughter out in marriage...

Meet the urgent needs of others gracefully

Give and it will come back to you

Good measure, pressed down, shaken together
Running Over
When you give unto the Lord...
Should giving just be monetary... I don't think so
Give your time, skill, gifts, love...

Matthew 25:40-46

New International Version (NIV)
40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’
41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

I submit

Why WORRY when you can GIVE....!

Have a wonderful week giving!

Worry NOT, IT GETS YOU TO fret

And when you FRET you lose your HEAD...

Share, like and comment... God bless You

JESUS MY GREAT HELPER

Luke 22:40-44

New International Version (NIV)

⁴⁰ On reaching the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” ⁴¹ He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, ⁴² “Father, if you are willing, take this cupfrom me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” ⁴³ An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. ⁴⁴ And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.^[a]

^{Holy Father our Helper, comforter and Warrior , we beseeth thee ,send your angel to strengthen us today, we need you Lord Today, help us to see opportunities in the situation we are in..Help us Lord... Thank You for hearing us. Thank You our Father and God. For You will strengthen us Today. For in Jesus Name we asked. The Lord's people say..Amen}

JESUS KNOCKS... His coming is imminent!!!

1 Thessalonians 5:1-3

New International Version (NIV)

The Day of the Lord

5 Now, brothers and sisters, about times and dates we do not need to write to you, ² for you know very well that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. ³ While people are saying, “Peace and safety,” destruction will come on them suddenly, as labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape.

The kingdom of God is right here with us... Start living in the boat today, if you are still procrastinating, for His coming will hit unannounced ... The door would be shut, there wouldn't be a route of escape if you are left out or behind... Lose your life for Christ sake and You shall find it...He knocks

God bless you ! SAVE YOUR SOUL

Say this pray. 

Lord Jesus I confess my sins before You, knowing that you are able to forgive and restore me into oneness in You... Forgive me Oh Lord, make me whole again, Let Your Holy Spirit teach/comfort me.. I will go where You lead, Let me be able to Love my neighbor like I do love my self, even my enemies.. I Live for you as from now.. Thank you Lord for answering my prayers. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen

PRAY WITHOUT CEASING! READ THE SCRIPTURE DAILY, EDIFY YOUR SPIRIT WITH SOUL HEALTHY THOUGHTS AND DEEDS....LOVE EXPONENTIALLY.. -shalom

Psalm 27:9-14

9 Do not hide Your face from me;
Do not turn Your servant away in anger;
You have been my help;
Do not leave me nor forsake me,

O God of my salvation.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me,
Then the Lord will take care of me.

11 Teach me Your way, O Lord,
And lead me in a smooth path, because of my enemies.
12 Do not deliver me to the will of my adversaries;
For false witnesses have risen against me,
And such as breathe out violence.
13 I would have lost heart, unless I had believed
That I would see the goodness of the Lord
In the land of the living.

14 Wait on the Lord;
Be of good courage,
And He shall strengthen your heart;
Wait, I say, on the Lord..

The Lord's people will say Amen.. .

What can you see...?

A cloud, An angel,A car, a TRAFFIC...

A friend said it is about rapture time....

I see a symbolic representation of an Angel silhouetted against the Sun

For all that are able to see this....

You are being alerted again that the end will not meet you sleeping and not ready....- teeworldinc

God is Spirit... 

You are a spirit housed in a body... 

You dont have the power yet to kill a spirit.... 

You can only cast them out... 

You will not die, cos you are a spirit that is your real You, 

Your body house your Soul

Your soul should be saved for Heaven you know?

You have the nature of God...

Even if the body dies,

You soul is very ready to evolve in the 5th dimension - " Heaven or Hell" 

Choose Heaven my Friend that you may enjoy an eternal bliss in God's own

Presence... and not rot in the lake of fire burning with sulphur.... 

There is always a good new in Christ, it is not too late to take a stand for Christ

Regardless of the sin you have been perpetrating before now..

Say this prayer lord Jesus ,

I confess my sins before you and not before man,

Forgive me of my trespasses, make me whole in you,

Renew me for you and you alone. 

I will love you through your creation that is the people that you have created to color my world.

Holy spirit help me to be able to judge my acts...

I am a new creation from now.. 

Thank you my father , my savior and Lord of my life.


For in Jesus name I have pray. amen 

Attend a church , fellowship with believers and have a personal relationship with God! You are whole again

MAY BE MAY BE NOT !!!

MAY BE MAY BE NOT

Olympic...Olympic...Olympic...

CITIUS - ALTIUS - FORTIUS...

FASTER - HIGHER - STRONGER

What ever Has a start, must sure have a finish...
The memories will stay with us....

In all, 44 world records have been set during London 2012, and 117 Olympic records broken..

The world has broken records again...

May be this is the last...May be...May be not.

Am I going to witness the next games?

May be... May be not...

Do I have forever to live on earth...

I am very sure about this , a definite and big NO!!!

Do you believe in the thereafter or life after death ?

You don't have to believe..... There is life after death....

Your soul will live after death, but where do you plan living your eternity?

Fifth Dimension..... Heaven or Hell ?

The Olympics motto says "" Citius - Altius - Fortius ""

Faster - Higher - Stronger

Run the race that has been set before you earnestly.... That you might have a glorious crown, some cried for joy and some cried for sadness...

A SIMILE!!! What a similarity to what the end time will be like but with a twist...

There is no repentance after death

There is no forgiveness in the grave that you go....

it is strictly Judgement
Judgement and judgement....

I AM THE WAY THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE, NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER EXCEPT THROUGH ME SAYS JESUS CHRIST...
