DAY 6: KEEP ON WALKING: A word of encouragement
In this walk with Jesus there will be moments of fatigue and moments where the passion doesn’t quite feel like it did when you first started. There will be hurt, broken promises, and the opportunity for offense… But keep on walking in love. Don’t buy the lie that people are your problem because they aren’t (Ephesians 6:12).
In this walk with Jesus you’re gonna have tremendous passion to share the Gospel and use the gifts He’s given you to spread the message... And there will be some wins! Praise God for every one, big and small. Don’t ever say something is too small of a victory to Praise God over. Remember the law of gratitude; the things you are grateful for are the things that will multiply. So don’t entertain a spirit of murmuring and complaining. That attitude will only cause delay. Keep on walking in trust. Keep on walking in thanksgiving.
There will be disappointments and times where you feel like the road you’re on doesn’t look like the vision that God showed you in the beginning. There will be moments that feel like great sacrifice, intense frustration, and times where you even say, “I quit” (we’ve been there too)… But walk in a spirit of endurance.
Believer, please make no mistake about it, this walk with Jesus is a walk of victory!! You are not fighting FOR the victory, you are fighting FROM the victory. This victory has already been purchased and won on your behalf! So rise up in a spirit of faith and keep running your race! Keep fighting the good fight of faith! You are more than a conqueror in Christ Jesus! Therefore, your current circumstances do not get the last laugh. As it is written, “We are pressured in every way [hedged in], but not crushed; perplexed [unsure of finding a way out], but not driven to despair; hunted down and persecuted, but not deserted [to stand alone]; struck down, but never destroyed;”
2 Corinthians 4:8-9 AMP
Many hardships and perplexing circumstances confront the righteous, but the Lord rescues him from them all!! (Psalm 34:19)
Refuse to grow weary in doing good! Keep on believing and declaring that in due time you WILL reap a harvest if you don’t give up! (Galatians 6:9)
About this Plan
The believer’s walk of faith is one that is challenging and requires an every day decision of surrender. In this 7 Day Devotional with Jordan David Ward of the trio, Consumed by Fire, you will refocus on what it really means to have a closer walk with Jesus.
