Lay Off the 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.

Friends, there are unnecessary loads and weigh us down that is slowing us down. They draw us back from achieving speed and results per time. Certain times, we drop some loads and even carry some that still affects us. It can weigh one down from living right and they stand as a yoke which is so little but too difficult to drop, at those times, but we need the help of God. Let’s stay focused as to achieve that goal. 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. So, deal with the surrounding factors today.

Amazingly, there are little weeds that spoil the vine; we must be careful to identify them and strip them off from us.  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 drop and we must not allow them to slow us down because it is not part of God’s kingdom. They can get so attached and build up to irresistible habits that now brings back shame.  So, watch out for those specific weaknesses that you are still struggling with as to eliminate them. We cannot continue to manage them with secret tears. But remember, Jesus is our role model and our champion, so look unto him as to finish strong in Jesus name.

PRAYER POINT:

1)Oh Lord, help us to live a life shaped by God as to identify the secret weaknesses and deal with them in Jesus name. 

Action Quote: Remember to avoid certain habits and put on the new nature before they limit your glorious destiny.
