How Do We Overcome Hindrances to our Commitment And Therefore Strengthen our commitment

How Do We Overcome Hindrances to our Commitment And Therefore Strengthen our commitment?

1.       Always connect: (appliances and electricity and also in every relationship) Bible-reading and Prayer (read your Bible, pray every day, and you’ll grow) ***

2.       Submit to God: James 4:7,8 “Submit yourselves, then, to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and He will come near to you.”

3.       Hebrews 10:23-25

“Let us hold unswervingly (steadfastly, unshakably) to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful.  And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another – and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”

Importance of fellowship [camaraderie, solidarity, team spirit, shared aims]with other believers) “…and encourage one another as you see the day approaching”

4.       F.A.I.T.H. – For All sake, I Trust Him (Food Always In The Home) Mark 11:22 Have Faith in God!

Hebrews 11:1 “Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see.”

Lead me along the path, lead me along the widen way

I trust enough to never need the “WHY” if you take me to the “WHERE”

Lead me along the path, lead me along the widen way

I don’t know what’s around the corner, Lord, but I know that You’ll be there

If you have no clear vision of the dark future

and you don’t know for sure the moment you take a step you’ll have something to step on,

You don’t have to worry, God will teach you how to fly!

“In this world you will have troubles, BUT Take heart I have overcome the world” Jesus

Don’t Give Up

God can read each falling tear

He sees the heart that needing cheer

He knows the path that’s hard and dread

Don’t give up, ‘cause He is near.

Hebrews 6:10-12

“God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. We want each of you to show this same diligence to the VERY END, in order to make your hope sure.  We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.”

Finally, Stay Focus on your Goal!

Hebrews 12:1-3 “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with PERSEVERANCE (determination, urgency) the race marked out for us.  Let us FIX OUR EYES ON JESUS, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning (laugh at, make fun of) its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.  Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that YOU WILL NOT GROW WEARY AND LOSE HEART.”

Revelation 2:10 “…but be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life.”

A final story: “a child reading a story book about a hero, he was tired and sleepy, so he decided to read towards the end of the story (laktaw), not reading in between…

The next night, he continue reading from where he stop. He read at a point when the hero was about to give up because of the hardships, problems, difficulties, trials…. “Don't Give Up! If you only knew what will happen towards the end! You are already Victorious!!”

Come work for the Lord.
The work is hard, The hours are long
and the pay is low.
But the retirement benefits are out of this world.
