2Timothy 4:6-8 At the end of your journey, you need to be able to speak like Paul – I have fought a good fight, I have finished the race and I have remained faithful; now the price is waiting for me.
Hebrews 12:1- We are surrounded by a lot of witnesses to the life of faith; let us strip off every weight that slows us down (e.g ungodly friends), especially the sin that hinders our progress. Sin is likes hurdles in a race- they are assigned to slow your progress. If you want to run the race and complete it you need to fix your eyes on Jesus – on whom your faith depends from start to finish.
2Timothy 2:3-5 As a soldier of Christ, do not let yourself be tied down to the affairs of this life. Follow the Lord's rules so that you will not be disqualified.
In honour of the youth, let's look at the youth who understood the importance of keeping your focus on the race.
Daniel 1:3-20 Daniel made up his mind that he will not defile himself. How many of you have made up your mind that you will not defile yourself by sexual immorality, alcohol or any such things?
God gave Daniel special ability in understanding visions and dreams.
The 4 were the best and they were appointed to the top positions.
You can get the top jobs without first having to compromise what you stand for (no bribe or any favours) but just be faithful.
Matthew 25:14-30 (19-21) Well done, good and faithful servant.
