The Lord says,
"Keep running the race that I have set for you! Let it not be aborted! Do not lose focus! Do not lose heart! Do not doubt! Do not waver! Keep your eyes set on the road map that I've shown to you! Keep your mind set on the words that I've spoken to you! And the good work that I have begun in you, I will bring it to full completion!"Philippians 1:6 (NKJV) says, 'Being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ'. The word 'complete' here is 'epiteleo' in Greek, and it carries the meaning 'to accomplish it, to fulfill it, to finish it, or to bring it to perfection'. And this is God's promise for each of us whose eyes are set on Him!
Therefore, in challenging and perilous times like these, keep running the race that He has set for you! Never lose sight of Him and His 'road map' for you! And never let any adverse circumstance of yours cause you to abort all the good work that He has begun in your life! By the way, the definition of the word 'abort' (according to Merriam-Webster Dictionary) is 'premature termination of a flight, a mission, or an action'.
Hebrews 12:1-2 (NKJV) says, 'Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God'.
So, people of God, no matter what happens around you, and no matter what challenges you may be facing at the moment, take heart that you have a 'cloud of witnesses' surrounding you! This 'cloud of witnesses' can be those men and women of faith who have gone before us, or even the angelic realm, and they are cheering you on! Imagine you are a marathon runner, and you are entering a stadium filled to the brim with people, and all of them are cheering you on as you run towards the finishing line!
In life, sometimes we just don't feel like wanting to continue anymore, or we find it too hard to carry on, or no more strength to keep going. We all have such times and seasons in life. We all do. Maybe in recent times, you too have been waiting and waiting for the 'breakthrough' (that the Lord has spoken) to come, and it hasn't come. And you are beginning to lose hope, or even question whether it is worth it at all! Beloved, you are not alone.
The Lord is assuring you that He sees all these and He understands exactly what you are going through. Don't lose heart. Don't give up. If He has spoken, He will surely bring it to pass. In His way. In His sovereign way. The truth is He has not forgotten you and He has not forsaken you. He is in fact sending His angels to minister to you right now, and He is sending them to even clear the way for you. So, take heart, and keep your focus on Him!
He is also in the midst of giving you a new strength and a new hope as you run this race. Receive His love that never fails, and receive a new strength to keep going, no matter how the enemy tries to humiliate you or put you down all these while. Remember, you are made more than conquerors through Him who love you! (Romans 8:37) Not just conquerors, but more than conquerors!
I therefore declare in Jesus' name that you are going to see even greater victories and breakthroughs than you've ever seen in life, going forward. Believe and receive. Amen!
