Hebrews 12:1: Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us, and LET US RUN WITH PATIENCE THE RACE THAT IS SET BEFORE US.
Patience is the most impossible word of this era. We are all witnesses to ever changing transformation which is taking place around us. Earlier we used telephone, telegraph to communicate; now mobiles and internet and in future HUMAN will become RFID devices. We have seen CRT, flat TV, LD, LED, and Plasma and on and on it goes. There is almost something new available in the market, new and better innovation of products and services is regular process of market dynamics. Now in this world, if we discuss about patience, it is considered rubbish, insane to discuss. Time is most precious element in anybody’s life and still is draining out very swiftly from life. We all desire to achieve more and more in less amount of time, be it money, friends, relationships, success, achievement or any other aspect of life. But BIBLE teaches us as a Believer we have to run for the everlasting PRIZE to reign with our MASTER JESUS CHRIST in heaven.
The bible further declares that 2 Thessalonians 3:7-8 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you; (8) Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that WE MIGHT NOT BE CHARGEABLE TO ANY OF YOU: . This is the crux of ministry of CHRIST JESUS and his followers. Rely only on the word of GOD which is declared in Psalms 34:10 the young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. This is the time for ministry like Apostle PAUL: 1 Thessalonians 2:9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, BECAUSE WE WOULD NOT BE CHARGEABLE UNTO ANY OF YOU, WE PREACHED UNTO YOU THE GOSPEL OF GOD.
As a believer and follower of CHRIST, we need to diligently follow what the MASTER has TOLD, Mark 14:38 Watch Ye And Pray, Lest Ye Enter Into Temptation. The Spirit Truly Is Ready, But The Flesh Is Weak. Remember 2 Peter 1:6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness. We need to focus only on precious promises of GOD manifested in CHRIST JESUS, and avoid corruption of world which enters thorough LUST in our hearts.
WE PRAY THAT CHRIST MAY DWELL IN YOUR HEARTS BY FAITH; THAT YE, BEING ROOTED AND GROUNDED IN LOVE. GOD Bless you in CHRIST! Amen.
