GOSPEL WORLD

“I have not yet reached my goal, and I am not perfect. But Christ has taken hold of me. So I keep on running and struggling to take hold of the prize”.

verse 13

“My friends, I don’t feel that I have already arrived. But I forget what is behind, and I struggle for what is ahead” We are living in an age where everyone is looking to their past to explain their problems or to excuse their behavior in the present. While we have made it a science digging into the past to understand ourselves,only Jesus Christ can heal that past and get us living in the future with a new life. While the world emphasizes looking backward, Christ emphasizes looking forward! We are now new creatures, the old has passed away and new creatures in Christ with a whole new clean start! No scientist in the world can do

Philippians 3 verse 12- 13

Running towards the Goal

Philippians 3 verse 12

this! Closing of the old chapter does not mean forgetting the past troubles and mistakes but also encompasses the end of our past troubles spiritually, physically and mentally. The devil played devil played havoc in our lives for too long but the Almighty God is changing that today in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. The doors to your past life is closed today, forget about it as the Lord renews your life to that of a youth. The past is gone and all is new (2 Corinthians 5 v 17-18) The Lord wants to do a new thing in our lives. We should be willing to forget the past and get ready to enter into the future that the Lord has prepared for us. We should put the past failures and disappointments and sorrows behind us. This is a new day, a new week, a new month , a new year and a new opportunity that the Lord is giving us. We must make use of the opportunity and be willing to experience new changes in our lives even though they may be unfamiliar to us.

Successful people maintain a positive focus on life no matter what is going on around

them. They stay focused on their past suc

cesses rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfilment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them. The first recipe for happiness is to avoid too lengthy meditation on the past. Gratitude makes sense for our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow. One of the best ways to make yourself happy in the present is to recall, happy times from the past.

ALL EVILL DOORS ARE CLOSING TODAY!! Do you have a past which is affecting your present? Each time you look at your past do you sometimes wish life could be rewinded so that you could correct your mistakes? Do you really wish if you were to be taken back into the past lane then your present could be better than what it is? What is it that happened in the past of your life that keeps nagging your mind which you wish could be erased from your past? How much have you tried to forget your past and failed? How often have you tried to forgive and your past enemies and offenders but failed? Do you have bitterness still tied to your fragile heart because of what someone did to you? Do you sometimes feel that even if you find your enemy in the claws of a lion , given a chance you would add salt for the lion to enjoy?

On the other hand, there is something called devil or Satan that has made greatest damage to your life and a look at your past might seem like someone was after your life but in actual fact it has been the evil spirits. Many people’s present lives have a past which keeps on following them and no matter how much physical effort they put , the situation does not change. If there is any situation in your life which you have tried physically or mentally to change but keeps on failing, know that it is a result of a spiritual attacks- whatever is beyond your effort is spiritually motivated. Whatever you have tried to do in emulation of others but have failed, know that it is a result of spiritual attacks. Today say this “ Enough is Enough! The devil’s time must expire today ! My plane of life must take off and take me to my mandated destiny! You devil, you are a liar!

To operate in new levels of favour, we must forget our past. learn to forgive others and ourselves. God saved you, cleansed you for your sons and made you white as snow by the washing of his blood. Make a change today by forgetting your past. The past holds you back from what God has for you, it placed shackles on you, it weighs you down, stresses you out and depletes your energy.

Break free today from your past. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you. God has plans to prosper you, let go of your past! Walk in the strength of the word of God today. You can’t really know God if you keep holding to your past!

ALL EVIL DOORS ARE CLOSING TODAY AND NEW ANOINTED ONES ARE OPENING FOR YOU NOW! We give all GLORY TO GOD. Mbiri kuna Jesu
