TOPIC: GET UP AND MOVE ON 7. Forget The Fall And Focus On God
Memory Verse: Micah 7:8
“8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy: when I fall, I shall arise; when I sit in darkness, the Lord shall be a light unto me.”
Bible Reading: Hebrews 12:1-2
“1 Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,
2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
If every great men and women will focus on their fall, none will be great as they are today. Donnie McClukin once said in the lyrics of his song,
“We fall down, and we get up,
We fall down, and we get up,
We fall down, and we get up,
For a saint is just a sinner who falls down,
And get up.”
When you focus on what people will say when you get up, you will never rise. I’ve heard of persons who were raped and also children born as products of rape, rejected by friend but today, they’ve made it and are still standing because they face the beat. There are men of God who missed it in life in time pass, even in ministry, but turned back to God and they are making waves for God. Forget what people will say, do, or how they will look at you, just forge ahead.
The book of Hebrew said, we have a host of witness watching us, these should be our focus not the world around us. Lay aside those negative reasons that can stop you from raising. Make Jesus your focus. Forget those who has written you off. Look up to Jesus who still believes in you. You are meant for the top. You can’t turn back now, it’s too late to quit. Think of when you started the race, remember what you’ve gone through. Think of the promises of God ahead. It’s worth moving forward. The host of Heaven are counting on you. Jesus is counting on you. Don’t give up now. Make Jesus your focus not your criticizers. Listen to God, He still cares about you. I see you rising again In Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
