The Nature Of Our Race by kpakpandoN(m): 6:32am On Nov 26, 2013 |
To win a race as an athlete,u hav 2 understand d nature of d race.Know dat we were set on a marathon d day we were saved.Every race has its guiding rules.If u run a marathon d way u ought 2 run a 100metres dash or relay race,u will definitely lose steam long b4 d finishing line.U need patience in dis race. Hebrews 12:1says,"Wherefore seeing we also re compassed abt wit so great a cloud of witnesses,let us lay aside every weight,nd d sin which doth so easily beset us,nd let us run wit patience d race dat is set b4 us", Since our calling into dis race is a calling into a long haul,God in His infinite mercy has designed dat everytin we need 4 d journey is made available nd spread out strategic spots along d journey.Dis is y 4 example He does not expect u 2 knw d whole Bible in a day,week or year.As u take time 2 be wit Him,He will guide u nd give u revelations progressively.To dis end,Paul says we know in part(1 Corinthians 13:9).We cannot know everytin in 1day.And Isaiah 28:10 says,"For precept must be upon precept,precept upon precept;line upon line,line upon line; here a little,and there a little:" Sum pple re too much in a hurry in deir relationship wit God.As far as dey re concerned,God is too slow 4 deir liking.Dey want everytin now.In deir haste,dey want 2 change deir marathon into a short dash.Of course u knw dis is not possible since God is d 1 who set up d race.Find out,such pple start wit so much zeal,fire nd heat.Dey want everytin now.As long as God is doing deir bidding by giving dem everytin immediately,dere will be no problem; but d day God says,Take it easy,son: your time is not my time,dey will begin 2 wonder how slow God is.If God wanted a dash,most believers would hav lived 4 maximum of 1yr afta dey were saved.But beloved,it is not a dash! Dis is y u must cultivate d virtue of patience.U must learn 2 hav Wat u want in His time nd not urs.Are u disappointed @ God's timing? Sorry abt dat: it is occasioned by d nature of d race we re called 2 run. |
