Day15 | Daniel Fasting
Summary:
The Apostle Paul gives us an analogy of a race that we are running.
We must run to win because we have been endowed with all the requirements to give us victory. We have grace on our side, we have the power of the Holy Spirit, and we have wisdom from above. There is not a reason for us to fail.
1 Corinthians 9:26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
Those who race do it to obtain a prize. Apostle Paul says he is determined to win the prize so he is fully strategic in his approach. How determined are you? Run to obtain a prize!
Hebrews 12:1 I
Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us
This race must be run with endurance. It is time to set aside every weight and sin that bests and run with patience. Why patience because there are days you wake up and don’t feel like you are not winning.
Ecclesiastes 9:11
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor skill that wins the race, it time and chance to them all.
Time and chance happens to them all. It is not in the swiftness, natural strength, earthly wisdom, nor earthly understanding, nor skill that wins the race, it time and chance.
Well, let me announce that this is your time, your chance to take a swipe at success. Continue in patience and determination and see God lifting you to imaginable levels.
I declare today, that every obstacle that was hindering you is removed and you will obtain a prize in this race in this season.
Declaration:
I run to win prize. I set aside everything that is a weight and a burden that has been slowing me down. I set myself free from bitterness, anger and fear as I move towards the mark.
