A Consistent Pursuit Of Excellence Dr. Robb Thompson
"Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended; but one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind and reaching forward to those things which are ahead, I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3:13-14 (NKJV)
They're open, 24/7-all-night gas stations, round-the-clock supermarkets, year-round pharmacies. As believers, doesn't God also call us to faithfully press forward, twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week? Many believers are content to stay as ordinary as battery-run wall clocks, only enjoying fleeting moments of greatness, without ever living a fantastic life. The common visit excellence momentarily, although in their minds, they think they do great all the time. They always think about the nice things they did last week or last month. At the same time, they wonder why they annually wait in vain for someone to finally recognize their vast achievements. But what they don't realize is that their pride and their refusal of correction make them utterly unapproachable.
This is a sad observation, but it still stands true-there is absolutely no advancement or promotion without embracing correction. Without embracing the correction and modification that Captain Wingate made in Moshe Dayan's military life, certain battles might have never been won, and where would Israel be today? Remember, none of us are perfect. Every one of us has imperfections we must face. However, as long as we continue to pursue excellence, we are headed in the direction that will consistently make us more like Jesus.
Father, I thank You that I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus takes hold of me. I do not count myself to have apprehended. But this one thing I do, I assign to oblivion those things that are behind me and I press on to the things before me.
Dr. Farley thank you for accepting me as your friend. I am deeply appreciative. I look forward to a wonderful and mutual fellowship for the Kingdom. I am available for bookings and preaching engagements of all kinds. Hope we can connect. Dr. McCall www.firstbaptistchurchhayneville.com
I felt almost immidetly when I saw your profile picture it was something special with you and soon I will find out what it is God want to tell me.
I am thankful for to have find you and could add you as a friend.
The most immidetly request I have today is to find a man that can help me to understand what God want to tell me.
Many of the messages God have given me, have I understood but there is two messages that one male angel and one female angel have brought to me when they have appeared in front of my eyes that I not really understand but can only guess what it is and I need some sort of confirming that someone else understand it as I do/guess.
Then I have a message a Bishop gave me in a church in September, 2001 only few days before the attack was and I don't know if it was for me the message was or if God was talking about the attack.
What he said in September 2001 was " 12,12,12 " if any person can tell me even if it is a guess should I be thankful for to know.
In that moment, I was thinking about time that it was a message for us to hurry up because the end time was near but if you have another answer , tell me, thank you. ( it was my first time ever in a church )
I have easy to forget to visit this community because of much work for God on other places on Internet but if any can help me to remind me, I will be here more often.
Stay focus in your work for God and your character so it doesn't will be mixed up with the world ! Be extra careful as a single because the enemies have the best tool to kill God's people in handsome, well-spoken, sexy single partners of his kids.
Thank you man of GOD......truley this is in season! Encouragement is always need...thanks again for reminding me, not to let the struggle strangle me, but I must strangle the struggle; through the spirit of Elohim...thanks!
