Witness of Weight

 

Text: Hebrews 12:1 (KJV)

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.

There are times in life; we engage in things that become unnecessary loads and weigh us down. 

These weights draw us back from achieving speed and results. Certain times, we drop some loads 

and carry some that still affect us. There are loads still weighing us down from living right, and 

they stand as a yoke, which is so little but too difficult to drop, at those times, we need the help of 

God. Seeing as we already have things surrounding us that we need to deal with, do not add extra 

ones because it hinders speedy achievements. There is something you are pursuing to achieve, so 

be focused. The crowd may stand as weight, but your mind must be single. James 1:8- A double-

minded man is unstable in all his ways. There are specific weaknesses we are still struggling to 

eliminate. We cannot continue to manage it in secret. Do not allow spiritual and parasitic luggage's 

to hinder us from fulfilling our set goal. We have a model champion (JESUS) who both began and 

finished strong, do not be distracted from Him. Also, do not lose sight of where you are heading

to. 

Colossians 3:8- But now ye also put off all these; anger, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication 
out of your mouth. The old nature we carried into this world needs to dropped and must not be 

allowed to slow us down because it is not part of God’s kingdom. They have a way to limit our 

output and relationship with others; instead, we should put on the new nature, so drop off all the 

things and people influencing your decisions or actions negatively.

PRAYER POINT:

1. Oh Lord, help us to live a life shaped by God, so we can deal with secret sin in this perverse 

generation, in Jesus name. 

ACTION QUOTE: Friends, it is time we boldly cut off from negative influencers.
