2022: our year of establishment and settlement
Preacher: Pastor Ita Udoh
Topic: Don’t give up from the race
Text:Romans 8:18
Life is a race of which everyone needs to run till end of life and those who run the race have a crown of glory at the end. The race is controlled by time and calendar and those running have people watching him or her . The race is controlled by time and calendar. We as human we have to be conscious of time when running the race because the calendar of time does not wait for anyone.
The race is natural and competitive. Anybody who is competing has people that are watching. People would celebrate you if you’re winning the race but if you’re loosing the race people would loose hope on you.
It is the place of man to put the race under control. No one waits for anyone in this race of life. Do not compare yourself with anybody in the race of life even when they’re onlookers.
There’s a said time for the race. Different time frame determines the race of life.
There are forces against this race which include
*Lack of preparation
*Distraction- when you’re running the race u don’t look at sidelines, try to stay focus, look at the crown ahead of you. You cannot wear the crown without sufferings. What gives courage to finish the race is because God is involved. When God is involved in your race you’ll not notice the distraction and be determined to complete this race through your reliance in God
At the end of this year 2022 God would give us grace to run the race to the end.
