No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, Philippians 3:13
Our potential does not lie in our yesterdays. It cannot be found in what we have already accomplished – that’s ancient history.
Many of us allow the past to sabotage our potential. We replay old regrets, are paralyzed at the scene of personal tragedy, and waste away our days on what-might-have-beens. We fail to move forward because we have not dealt with the wounds of the past.
Conversely, some of us destroy our potential by resting on the laurels of one shining moment in the past. Did your shop/business break all sales records last year? Keep working hard or you could be looking for a job. Did you make honor roll last semester at School? Do your homework; the challenge is still in front of you.
Paul encourages us to stretch into the future, reaching for the things that are ahead. Our potential lies in the grades that we have not made, the promotions that we have not earned, and the souls that we have not won.
The greatest tragedy is a life that fails to fulfill its God-given purpose and potential. Let’s forget about the things that lie behind us in the past to get moving towards all the potential God has packed into our future.
LET’S PRAY.
Eternal Father, l thank you for not holding your servant to his/her past failures and misjudgements but rather urging him/her to keep looking unto *Jesus’ finished work on the Cross at Calvary.* This morning l pray, May you have the courage to let go of the past and embrace your future. May the Spirit of the Lord transform you from glory to glory!
Isaiah 3:10. Today, I say to you and your family, it shall be well with you in all area and you will eat the fruit of your labor in Jesus name. Judges 6:23 & Psalm 118:17. I say to all of you, peace be with you; do not fear, you will not die, you will live and live long in joy and good health and declare the works of the Lord in Jesus name. John 14:15. I pray, you will love God and fear Him, you will do His will, and obey His word in Jesus name.
May you be blessed with wondrous things by the LORD, who made heaven and earth in Jesus mighty name. The noise of this Covid-19 will not waste your life in the mighty name Jesus Christ. Amen Amen Amen. Fountain!!!
