FIGHT TO FINISH-Watch Out

Watch Out for This Sunday@ Cornerstone African Congregation, Singapore!

The title of the message this Sunday is quite interesting.

In the journey to Zion, we are involved in a daily fight.

It is not the physical fight against flesh and blood as the Bible says in

Ephesians 6:10-18.

I am amazed to see many accepting defeat easily as though succumbing to the situations

and circumstances they found themselves in dictating to them or dominating their spheres of

life!

The fight here is not physical but spiritual. It is analogous to sportsmen/women competing as

we are currently watching events reaching critical stages at the Beijing Olympics, China.

Jesus Christ, who is the Author and Finisher, of our Faith said: “But he who endures to the

end shall be saved.” (Matt 24:13). Jesus was our perfect example who fought to the

finishing line gloriously (John 17:4): “I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the

work which You have given Me to do.” Without getting to the finishing line competing

according to laid down rules there is no honour! Apostle Paul likewise admonished us to

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life” (1 Tim 6:12); as he gave testimony about

his own life later when he said: “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have

kept the faith.” May we be counted worth by His grace to be found faithful to fight to finish

gloriously in this wicked and adulterous generation.

If you in Singapore reading this, then it is an opportunity to come discover how you can be

winners in this great fight going on. No one is a bystander or onlooker: we are involved!

Be it in your career, marriage, academic, business, etc. So come and discover, how to win!

Poser:

Who is winning in the big fight for the Olympic Gold Medal in the Football event at the

Beijing Olympics tomorrow Saturday, 23rd August?

The kick-off time is 12 noon Singapore time and 5am Nigeria time.

Sounding patriotic, I will vote for Nigeria, my beloved country, to win again a la Atlanta 1996

Olympics, USA. It can happen again. These Nigerian boys, though young are so determined

to do Nigeria, their country, proud.

No big names here, but young men with lion hearts a la David in the Bible. That is what

you need also to win in life: that is if the Lord is on your side as well.

It is well!

Blessings!
