Lay aside the cloud

 

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, we must learn to drop off unnecessary loads that weighs us down in destiny. These weights can draw you back and stop you from achieving great results, even slows down your speed in life. Therefore, we must learn to drop off all and not some as many do. It can hinder you from living right and we find it very difficult to drop them even the little foxes. Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.  Yes, we need the help of the almighty seeing we are surrounded with such a great cloud of opposition. We need God to contend for us in battle. We should not add extra load by fighting by ourselves because we cannot make any head way.

Amazingly, the crowd is one major one standing as weight but you have to be single minded and learn focus as to achieve purpose. . James 1:8- A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. We should not allow the little weeds to spoil our glorious vine by being careful to strip them off our way. It can be a specific weakness that we are still struggling with as habits that is slowing us them today. Infact, they stand as parasites feeding fat on our pathway to destiny. But the good news is that we have a role model Jesus who for the Joy that was set before Him he endowed the cross for victory.  We can learn commitment that swallow distractions and do not lose sight to the top as we lay aside the weight today. And I pray we shall not allow the old nature to pull us down again in Jesus name

PRAYER POINT:

1)      Oh Lord, may I receive grace to deal and drop off the secret weaknesses that brought shame and reproach to me in the time past in Jesus name

Action Quote: Remember to cut off the negative influences that are slowing us down.
