WE’RE RUNNING TO WIN!

1 Corinthians 9:24-25 …Run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize.

When I was a kid I used to hate having to run in the flat race because I knew I’d be nearly last. I couldn’t run for toffee and I knew it, so I was losing, in my mind, before I began!😊

Apostle Paul reminded us to run our race to win. Our attitude of mind plays a huge part in whether we succeed, whether we win or not. If we believe we can do whatever it is we’re trying to do knowing God wants us to be successful, we shall overcome the obstacles. The Holy Spirit knew that and it’s why He’s constantly telling us we are more than conquerors, over-comers, that we are victors and not victims. 

How do we see ourselves? God wants us to see ourselves as people who are a success going somewhere to succeed. The Holy Spirit tells us God blesses all the work of our hands that whatever we do will succeed when we do it in Him, with His anointing and inspiration. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.(Philippians 4:13)

It’s actually a spiritual, supernatural thing, because we’re not doing it on our own, we’re doing it with the power of the Holy Spirit inside us. The secret is to to know that, and not forget it, otherwise we’ll be trying to do it in our own strength which God never asked us to do.

As we begin this new week remember you have the Holy Spirit inside you, you have been anointed. God sees you as a winner, as an over-comer, as a conqueror. Now just agree with Him and enjoy your week - in His strength and with His help. 

You are a winner, a success going somewhere to succeed. Thank You Lord.😊

Deuteronomy 28:12 (Nkj)The Lord  will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, … and to bless all the work of your hand….

Deuteronomy 28:8 (Nlt)The Lord will guarantee a blessing on everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.
