There
are 2 points in your life that give the devil terminally incurable headache and
heart failure;
1. The point of your obedience: to the call to
salvation, to the call to holiness, and stepping out to your divine earthly
assignment.
2. Your finishing point: when you finish well; when you
finish the work God assigned you to do.
I
imagine what the devil was thinking of when Paul said, “I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2 Tim. 4:7).
The devil will be “frustratedly” glad that Paul was going to Heaven because of
the havoc he wrecked against the pit of hell. Jesus, at that point when the
work was finished said “It is finished”.
The
start and finish points in our lives define our eternity. And as much as there
is a glory attached to starting, the greatest glory is in finishing (well and
strong) and making Heaven at last.
The grace to step out and start living for
God, and the grace to finish well and strong, may God give onto us. And in the
end, like David, “after he had served
his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep” (Acts 13:36), it
would be said and accounted onto us that we served our generation not by the
will of our parents, not by the will of our flesh, not by the will of our
mentors, not by the will of any man, but by the will of God.
TAKE NOTE:
1. There are things God wants you to start and steps He
wants you to take that the devil will never be glad to have you take or start.
Friend, shame that devil and step out in faith! If
it is by faith, then there must be grace, and you will be safe. May you receive
grace and courage to start in Jesus’ name!
2. There are obstacles (and pitfalls of sin) that the
devil outlines ahead so that we won’t finish well.
By grace and commitment to the life of God, you will
shame that devil.
THE POWER OF INERTIA
In
Physics, it is described as that force that tends to prevent something from
starting (and also from stopping). Beyond Physics, there are also spiritual
inertias such as fear, distractions, pressures, confusion, comfort zone
mentality, financial hiccups, etc. These things prevent people from stepping
into the fulfilment of divine purpose. So many people would have become
something in life but there are (spiritual) forces stopping them. This is a
spiritual phenomenon of inertia.
Tonight,
by the power that is above every power, in the name of my God and your God, the
only true God, such powers are broken now in the name of Jesus. I see help
coming to us from unexpected places; the darkness of confusion is fleeing; the
bondage of limitation is breaking; the yoke of sin is being destroyed; the
spirit of laziness is exiled to hell...in the name of Jesus. And the power of
inertia in your life and my life is over forever!!!!!!
Someone
shout a loud AMEN. Celebrate God! Maranatha.
(This impactation will
be repeated again for those who would miss seeing it this time. Share if you
are led. There is a flowing unction)
