Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians3:13-14
In life, no level is the highest, no matter how high or exalted in the eyes of men. This is true in spiritual, physical, financial or marital achievements. There's always room to improve as humans. Don't envy anyone in this world, for no one has arrived.
The only place we can be fulfilled, while improving is Christ. It's time to stop falling back to the past, it's time to move forward for a greater manifestation of the presence of God in us. Paul saw this, considering his ugly past. He refused to be hunted by his past atrocities, mistakes and ignorance because there's a greater glory in Christ. There's a greater call in Christ, let us press forward to this glorious attainment daily.
Go for the prize of the high call. A call to righteousness and power. A call to miracles and soul winning. A call to love. A call to give ourselves completely to God. Are you battling with your past? Today is a new dawn, Hallelujah! Arise and let the power in the name of Jesus strengthen you to move forward.
Let's pray together. Thank you Father for your high call upon us. Today we let go of our past, as we press forward for the prize of your high call in our lives daily. Strengthen us more, OH LORD, in Jesus name. Amen. Keep pressing forward!
