"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 3:12-14
Paul writes these verses showing his determination to keep pressing toward the goal without slacking. His eyes were on eternity with Jesus. Whatever he had accomplished, he determined to keep straining for more for the sake of those who need Jesus and for the glory of the Lord. Let us maintain this same fervor and energetic effort on behalf of Our Beloved Savior and Lord. Share and keep sharing until He comes or takes us home.
Disciple's Prayer:
"Father, transform me in the glory of Your presence so that I can carry that to the world around me. Let me have moments with You that transform me into Your likeness so that as I witness to others, they see You in me. Make me determined to keep pressing forward and to keep sharing with more and more until You come again. Cause me to bear much fruit for Your kingdom. Multiply believers and fellowships more and more. Amen and amen!"
Unreached of the Day's Prayer:
"Father, Your ways and Your will are what I long to see in the earth today. Help me be a true witness to the gospel so that I can go make disciples of all nations as You commanded me. The Garre in Somalia wait to hear of Your glory and love! Thrust out enough laborers so that every Garre person, men, women, and children, hear of Your great love and mercy. Draw many to believe and follow Jesus! Cause the nation of Somalia to be impacted as this people group is transformed by Your presence among them. Help them to keep sharing the gospel faithfully and follow in obedience. Amen."
