Purpose Driven

Philippians 3:14 

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Prayer: Thank You LORD for your Kingdom Women. Women of God who You have called out of darkness into Your marvellous light. I thank You LORD that each individual not only has a purpose but is the purpose. I thank You LORD that Your Daughters of Zion are crowning You LORD of their life. Crowning your King over every detail in their life. I ask LORD that You take permanence in their life. Take full control as we surrender ourselves as a living sacrifice onto You Father. LORD Jesus, I pray that You be a consuming fire and consume everything in our life that does not look, breath, think, talk like you. LORD I ask You be a restoring fire, and restore everything in our life that belongs to You. Holy Spirit I ask you do what only you can do, which is, take one message and multiply it a 100 000 different ways.  Today is the day we will not remain the same. Today is the day LORD, that you created before the foundation of the earth that we my set our minds on the things of You LORD and abounded the cares of this world. Continue to establish us in your grace Father, above all Let your name me glorified in our life. In the Might Name of Jesus who conquered and defeated all I pray Amen

Last weekend, Chenai wanted us to stand with her in faith and fast and pray. Zemi and I took turns in fighting in faith with Chenai for her breakthrough. Saturday she messaged me asking me to pray that the Lord gives her strength. I continued to do what I was doing while praying for her. Holy Spirit directed me to this scripture in Isaiah 40: 31 But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint. As I was looking up the versus on my Bible App, Holy Spirt showed me this scripture Isaiah 40: 3-4 The voice of one crying in the wilderness: " Prepare the way of the LORD; Make straight in the desert A highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted And every mountain and hill brought low; The crooked places shall be made straight And the rouch places smooth. 

Ladies we are in a race. The race of faith. This race is like a relay race. It started of with Abraham who is referred to as the father of faith. He run his race and passed the baton to the prophets who pointed to the coming of Christ, Jeremiah, Elijah, Elisha, Isaiah passed the baton to John the Baptist who run the race and prepared the Children of God to receive Jesus. When Jesus died, rose again and defeated all, the baton was passed to the Apostles who where led by the Spirit of God to write what we know as the New testament/ the new testimony of Grace.

We are the generation who is preparing the way of the coming of the Groom. The last generation to run the race well so that Jesus comes back to a church without spot of wrinkle. We are an elite generation in whom God thought of before the foundations of the earth and placed, positioned us so we may proclaim that Jesus is Lord. We are the Last Generation to run the race with a God conscious mind, set on his ways not on ours. Ladies, the last person to run the race is the strongest runner. God found it fit that you would be in this era not another. Do not lose confidence in the God/Jesus you serve. Fight the good fight of faith knowing above all that you have a crown awaiting you. We have a great cloud of witnesses cheering us on. Lets get fit with the Word of God and run this race.

Love you,

Scriptures For Meditation 

2 Timothy 4:7 

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith.

1 Corinthians 9:24-27

 

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. But I discipline my body and keep it under control, lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.

2 Timothy 4:7-8 

I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

Hebrews 12:1-2

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.

 Acts 20:24

But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

2 Timothy 2:5

An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules.

Philippians 3:12-14 

Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

Galatians 5:7 

You were running well. Who hindered you from obeying the truth?

Hebrews 12:1-29 

Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted. In your struggle against sin you have not yet resisted to the point of shedding your blood. And have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses you as sons? “My son, do not regard lightly the discipline of the Lord, nor be weary when reproved by him. ...

2 Timothy 4:6-8 

For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Henceforth there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will award to me on that Day, and not only to me but also to all who have loved his appearing.

Hebrews 11:1-40 

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible. By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. ...

Isaiah 40:28-31 

Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

1 Corinthians 9:24-25

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

Galatians 6:9 

And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.

Hebrews 12:2 

Looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.
