RESTORATION TODAY
MONDAY, APRIL 27, 2020.
TOPIC: *DO NOT GIVE UP*
"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2.
*MESSAGE*
There are many people alive today who have unfulfilled dreams in their heart. For different reasons, they are unable to do the things God has already prepared for them to do (Ephesians 2:10). But when we choose to live out dream, it's like stepping out into a battlefield. The moment you choose for your life to make a difference in this world, your enemy the devil is going to come after you.
And when the devil begins to come at us with temptation after temptation, chances are you will want to give up. If that idea of giving up have ever crossed your mind, our text this morning is a word for you. Just imagine if Jesus had given up on his way to that cross. Imagine where you and I would be now. No hope. No future. Thank God Jesus didn't give up. He was tempted right there in the garden of Gethsemane, but he stayed the course.
I believe God wants to breathe some courage into your heart today. Run with perseverance the race that is set before you, looking to Jesus the author and finisher of your faith. Don't give up. Look to Jesus. It doesn't matter how bad thing get, hang in there, for the sake of the joy that is to come.
*ACTION POINT*
?️Only those who run their race to the end will wear the crown of life; so fight, that you may win.
*SCRIPTURES*
2 Timothy 2:1-13; Ephesians 2:10; Psalm 16:9-11.
*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Oh Lord, thank you for the free gift of salvation;
2. Father, grant me the victory by your grace over all my trials on this Christian race;
3. Father, help me to radiate this glorious light of my salvation to the dark world of sin till you return.
*THE BIBLE OF THE YEAR*
Num. 7, Prov. 4, Mark.16.
