Focus
on Jesus.
Watching
every heated race on the tracks, is a sight to behold. The energy drive and
focus is a wonder.
Having
been part of athletic meets, I have come to understand one important principle
there is, FOCUS.
Hebrews
12:2 We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and
perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross,
disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honour beside God's
throne.
The
Christian journey as we have come to know, is a race.1 Corinthians 9:24. Just
as every other race requires, that which will drive you on, till the prize is
won.
Who
to watch, who to look out for. That one person or thing that will drive you and
cause you to push harder. The limit indeed is set at a higher ground the same
ground that has the prize.
Focusing
on the Jesus, as our scripture tells us is the sure way. In the first place, He
grants us the opportunity to be on the race. With His grace, the grace of a
champion, He guards us to the end of the race until the prize is won.
Paul
in his 2nd letter to Timothy, said I have run the race, I have kept
the faith…..
Having
won a race is appearing as the best. Standing out as the one that which the
troubles did not reduce your speed, but yet fighting on won the race. Having
the faith that He that started a good thing with you will bring you to the
successful end.
Who,
what and where you focus on, determines what you prize will become.
Many
have lost the race for having a wrong focal point. The likes of ‘competitors’
in the race, the journey ahead, the scorching sun, the booing away crowd. These
are all but leading to a loss as far as this race is concerned.
Today,
I draw your minds to one secret in service, that you keep your eyes on Christ.
Looking onto Him, Who himself is the prize, He that has won the prize. The one
who has fought on endured till he reached the level of honour, of the crowning.
God
bless you.
In
Jesus Name, Amen!!!
