MESSAGE HIGHLIGHTS
MINISTERING: REV. IDOKO MICHAEL
ANCHOR PASSAGE: Jn. 13:17, Neh. 8:8-9,12
TOPIC: PRESSING TOWARDS THE MARK.
βπ» The mark talks about your goals
βπ» God has set a mark for each and every one of us, that mark is your finish point.
βπ» You press on from your heart first.
π THE MARK
βπ» The objective of your life is not self will, it is set by God and not man (Phill. 4:13)
1. The mark is personal (Col. 1:28, 29): There is no room for comparison. Discover it, stand on it and press on (Heb. 12:1)
βπ» People are not called to do the same thing, your mark is not your brother's mark
- God didn't call Moses to build an ark like Noah
- God didn't call David to be a king at 17, He called him to kill Goliath first
- God didn't call Esther to preach in the temple, He called her to save a nation with one risky dinner
βπ» God is not going to judge you based on another person's mark, identify your mark and remain in your lane until you become a star.
βπ» Challenges and sin cannot stop you but distractions can stop you
2. The mark is high: your personal mark is a high calling and it is supposed to end in you reigning (Rom. 5:17) this means excellence in your business, purity in your dealings, raising godly children, etc.
3. The mark is in Christ Jesus (1Sam 9:2b, Ps. 49:6-8): you cannot hustle your way to destiny.
βπ» For you to succeed and reign in life, you must be in Christ.
π THE FORGETTING (Phill. 3:13)
βπ» There are two things you must forget: your past failures and your past successes
βπ» Yesterday's anointing cannot solve today's problem, yesterday's testimonies cannot pay today's bill
π THE PRESS ON
βπ» This means focusing and running (Heb. 12:2)
βπ» You need to discipline yourself and remain focused
βπ» You don't wish to get to the mark, you make effort to get to the mark
