Seeds Of Destiny (8 May, 2019) RECIPE FOR FINISHING STRONG IN LIFE
Finishing strong is God’s plan and agenda for His children. That is why it is very important to start the journey of life and destiny with God and finish with God. Having a glorious beginning and an odious end is not God’s plan for His children.
SCRIPTURE: For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: – 2 Timothy 4:6-7
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Whenever a person is disconnected from God, he or she begins to run on an empty tank spiritually.
Finishing strong is God’s plan and agenda for His children. That is why it is very important to start the journey of life and destiny with God and finish with God. Having a glorious beginning and an odious end is not God’s plan for His children.
There were many people in Scriptures who started well and finished strong like Paul the Apostle (2 Timothy 4:7). Others started well with God but were unable to finish strong. For example, Judas Iscariot did not end well (Acts 1:16-20).
Now, what matters in life is not how a person starts but how he or she finishes. Starters are many but finishers are few, and even among those who finished, those who finished well are fewer still.
The question now is, what does it mean to finish well?
It means:
a. Arriving at the end that is not less in impact, result, and product than the beginning.
b. Arriving at the end of your journey without defeat, failure or reproach.
c. Exiting the world in a blaze of glory on a note of victory, and
d. Ending with minimal regret.
Now, one way to finish strong is to develop a buoyant, vibrant relationship with God (Psalm 84:7). The knowledge of God is a sponsor of strength (Daniel 11:32). Anyone whose relationship with God is strong will have a destiny of strength that is unbeatable and irreducible. The Word of God is pregnant with Divine energy. Whenever a person is disconnected from God, he or she begins to run on an empty tank spiritually.
Beloved, make up your mind to feed on the diet of the Word of God continually and you will be shocked to see the resultant effect. You will testify that your level has changed. You must finish strong, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: Whenever a person is disconnected from God, he or she begins to run on an empty tank spiritually.
