WE HAVE NO OPTION THAN TO RUN THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US BY OLUWABUNMI AREGBESOLA
In the race of life, anyone who listens to the praises of spectators will be disqualified because of lack of focus. He will keep looking sideways so as to receive accolades from them. When you train your ears to be shut to their praises, you can run with focus and you can be sure to finish strong and finish well.
A race has been set before us as Christians. If we are distracted or carried away by worldly possessions, we may be disqualified.
We just have to run the race that is set before us with patience or else we will faint on the way.
We must be able to endure or we will look for another alternative. Jesus Christ endured, His grace is sufficient for us to follow suit.
If we must please our master, Jesus, then we must run according to the rule to avoid disqualification. We shouldn't be entangled with the affairs of the world. There is need for constant focusing on the master, He finished his course successfully.
If we must finish strong and well, we just have to let go of distractions on our way. Distractions can come in the form of friends we keep,they can be people who lack focus, they can come in the form of lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of life.
Not all who run in a race finish strong and well but because the Lord is with us, victory is guaranteed. We need to be constantly reminded of this.
Though there be distractions on the way,
Though there be an enemy,
We shall not be afraid because the lord is our shield and buckler.
We look up to Jesus who is the author and the finisher of our faith.
We do not look sideways but look upward for our help comes from the Lord.
