TILL THE FINAL WHISTLE


It's amazing in a football match where a team is being beaten by a rain of goals in a contest that they stay till the referee signals for the match closure with the whistle.

One of the most intriguing  and somewhat humiliating matches I've ever watched was from the last world Cup. The host team, Brazil played with Germany and they were already down by 5 goals to nothing during the first half. Yet they returned for the second half and the match ended 7:1 in favour of Germany. We know that till the last  minute they played their best game.

There is a vital message for us today from this: Never quit in your journey to greatness. As long as there's life there's hope. Someone said people die at 20 but they are buried at 80. Only death should be strong enough to prevent you from living your best life now. Play your best game now. Stay in the game of life. Unlike the match, In Christ we have the victory. Scripture says "Now thanks be unto God which always causeth us to triumph in christ". You are going to win if you stay in the game.

Are you being persecuted, tempted, going through challenges? Know today that you cannot give in, you've got life and God is by your side leverage on your relationship with him and see him bring you out of it. After all, it is those who endure to the end that will be saved.

Central Truth: You will win if you stay in the game.

FOCUS SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 2:14

PRAYER:
LORD, help me to stay in the game of life as I trust you to bring me into victory in Jesus Name. Amen
