Run YOUR Race in 2011

Greetings friends! WHAT A YEAR! WHAT A YEAR! I have both enjoyed it and been challenged greatly in 2010. There were so many mountain tops and so many valleys but at the end of 2010, I know I ran the race this year that He wanted me to. As the year ends I find myself very hungry for the LORD, I just can't get enough of Him. Even after spending blocks of time with Him I still want more. Recently I have discovered sermons by various men of God on Youtube and they have blessed my socks off!!! One in particular by Bishop Michael Pitts. In it he tells about runners running in a marathon and how some people had legs to run, some people had prosthetic legs and they ran. Not only did they run, THEY FINISHED.
Paul says 2 Timothy 4:7,8 New King James Version)

7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 Finally, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will give to me on that Day, and not to me only but also to all who have loved His appearing.


As Christians we are in a fight as well as a race, we know much about the fight but the race part hmmm...God wants you to know today that in 2010+ He wants you to "stay in the race and finish!!!" In THIS race finishing is what matters! In the natural in a marathon when the winner crosses the finish line the cheering crowd stays, they continue to cheer until the last person crosses that line! It doesn't matter when you finish, just keep going in 2011 when you get good reports and bad. Sometimes it's harder to stay in the race on the path and the lane that God wants us in because of success, it's not always the failures that tempt us to quit. Lastly "Run Your Race" with your eyes on you! As saints we are not in a competition with one another, because I have my own race to run I don't have to try to preach like Juanita, sing like Yolanda, or evangelize like Billy Graham I'm not in competition with any one, I'm here to run my own race and to get my own crown for doing so. RUN SAINTS OF GOD IN 2011, RUN WITH EVERYTHING IN YOU!!! Like natural runners you WILL get discouraged and tempted to quit but GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU...and HE THAT IS IN YOU IS NOT A QUITTER. During those times get the water of the Word and the Holy Ghost and get back in there and RUN, and FINISH your course for 2011. We love you here at Prayer4every1 Ministries and we are praying God's best for you all in the upcoming New Year
