GRACE TO FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED



Colossians 4:17 GNT – And tell Archippus, “Be sure to finish the task you were given in the Lord's service.”


One of the biggest challenges in life is finishing what we started. Many people give up along the way when challenges come. They say, “What I have done is enough,” even though they have not reached their goal.


God has given each of us a purpose and a destiny. It is important to fulfill it completely. You must fight through the challenges, from the beginning to the end. Do not give up on the way. Ask God for grace to take you through.


Today, I am talking to a specific person—you had a burden to do something for the Kingdom of God. You started well, but challenges came and you stopped. Some stopped because people discouraged them—maybe the very ones they were helping, or church leaders who disappointed them. You expected them to be different, but they were not. So, you decided to stop what God placed in your heart. Today, God is saying to you: You must finish it.


Maybe you stopped for no special reason. Some have stopped giving, some have stopped volunteering in church, some have stopped praying, and some have stopped their ministry. Maybe you stopped the work God gave you in your family.


Today, I pray that God will give you wisdom to do His work in a wise way, power to continue, and grace to overcome every challenge and opposition. I pray that He will restore your heart with love and strength to carry out what He gave you.


May God empower you, guide you, and protect you so that you will finish what you started in His name.


Prayer: Lord, give me grace, strength, and wisdom to finish the task You gave me.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
