focused

For the Christian leader to win in the race of life means that you must faithfully run the race that our Lord reveals to you. You become more like Christ. You do what Jesus wants you to do. This race is not a sprint. Our race is a marathon that lasts our lifetime. In the race of life, run hard…straight for the finish line. Don’t get off track. Stay focused on the finish. Run the race that God has marked out for you.

What will help you to run straight for the finish line with joy?

† Ask God to make you more like Jesus.

† Be disciplined in your regular personal bible study and prayer.

† Ask God in prayer: What is your race for me? What do you want me to do for you? Find a way to listen to his still small voice.

Say ‘no’ to distractions and focus on your finish line. Overcome the challenges that you face with the joy of Jesus.
