I received a word of encouragement for this year: Hebrews 10: 35-39
There are a number of things to say, a number of things which God a saying to our community. We must hold on to what we have followed all these years. We must recommit ourselves to what we have followed all these years, time has passed, and many of things do not seems to have been accomplished.
But the Lord says: “You need to hold on to your assurance”. We need to be encouraged, you need to encourage yourself, you need to talk to yourself, not to give up what you once believed, you need assurance, you need confidence, we need to move on as men who are confident. We need to move on, and we need to persevere. Over and over and over and over, over and over and over, God has kept telling me “It is the Gideon company that will enter into the victory of the Lord”. In entering into God’s purposes, s it requires perseverance, Gideon and his people were faint but they persevered and God gave them victory, and God gave them victory, they had God’s breakthrough, they were rejected by the other brethren, they were blamed by other brethren but they kept their focus on the goal. Many people decided not to give to the ministry, the inhabitant of Succoth, those who
dwell in the town of Peniel, they refused to give to the ministry, but Gideon kept to the goal, he kept pursuing, they were hungry but they pursued, they were tired, but they pursued, they were insulted but they persevered, they were slandered but they pursued, they were blamed by the Ephramite, God removed all who were indulgent, so the size and the number of those committed was reduced, but they pursued and God gave them the victory. It is those who are faint and who are pursuing that will enter into God’s victories in 2015. And from the passage we read, the Lord is going to judge very severely those who gave up. The bible says: “We are not of those who shrink back and are punished”, those who have given up the vision will be judged, those who have grown discouraged, will be judged, nobody put his hands on God’s things and turns back, God shall not be mocked, we are not of those who shrink back and are judged. We are of those who continue and who believe, we need to re-consecrate ourselves to move ahead, and if you want to consecrate yourself, stand up. To re-consecrate yourself to the Lord, not to turn back, not to become discouraged, but to press on, even when you are hungry, and not to give up, not to become one of the 10.000 who gave up because you are looking for your pleasures and your indulgence, and not to be among the 22.000 who gave up because of fear but, to be among those who believe, and who show their faith by pressing on, regardless of their personal condition and regardless of how the other brethren treat them. Gideon people were insulted, “do you already have the hands of Zalmuna and Ziph for us to give you our food?” Raise your hand and commit yourself.
Pray and give yourself to God
And refuse to backslide and become discouraged Pray, let us pray together. Now ask the Lord to fill you with the Holy Spirit and anoint you to play your part for the accomplishment of the mission. Let’s pray, cry out to God to fill you and to anoint you Amen
