Don't Look Back

 Genesis 19:12-26

Our Lord Jesus is worth going all the way with and all the way for.

To truly encounter the Lord is to discover that there is nothing out there that's better than our Lord, there is no one who compares to Him.

If we understand this we won't look back from following the Lord.

To look back is to give up on the Lord.

To look back is to become faithless.

To look back is to doubt God.

To look back is to disobey God.

Looking back in our walk with God is a choice, a wrong choice.

Remember Lot's wife, she looked back and became a pillar of salt.

Genesis 19:26

To look back is to disrespect God's instruction .

To look back is to choose the pleasures of this world over the kingdom of God, it is to choose the deceptions of the enemy over God's truth, it is to choose sin over righteousness, and the offer of the enemy over God's promises.

God's mercy found Lot and his family in Sodom and Gomorrah, a way of escape was made for them during a time of judgement and wrath, an instruction was given for Lot and his family to leave and not look back, Mrs. Lot looked back and was judged.

Genesis 19:16

Stay focused, look ahead.

Be like Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ who was disciplined enough to stay focused.

Philippians 3:13,14

To look back in a race is to be distracted in the game.

Paul, inspired by the Holy Spirit likened life to a race.

I Corinthians 9:24

We are all running a race, a spiritual race, we are spiritual athletes.

An athlete who is distracted and lacks focus cannot win the race/competition.

To win in life and eternity is to stay focused, focused, on the race, on your race, the rights things, and the right person (Jesus Christ).

Proverbs 4:27

To look back is to let our past, our experiences, and our mistakes get the better of us.

Don't look back!

Let the past stay in the past, let your mistakes and sins stay covered and washed away by the blood of Jesus.

It is a trick and lie of the devil if your past and mistakes get the better of you.

Don't look back.

There is better ahead.

Proverbs 4:18

Get up and get going, keep going.

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
