DON'T LOOK BACK AGAIN
PST. PENIEL KIND | MAY 19 2021
Truth be told, we have become so distracted by our earthly desires. Many the desire to become wealthy, others due to the pain, disappointment and shame of the past they are unable to move on with their life in serving God, for some, the pressure from society, friends, family keeps holding them back.
In the book of Luke 9:62
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
To wit, you cannot be heaven bound and still concerned with the world and all that it has to offer. No man goes onto the race track and in the process of running, begins to look back to see those he has outrun, neither does he stop halfway to respond to cheers nor does the runner slows down to help someone; if he does, he would likely loose the race, rather he presses on, setting his eyes on the price of the race.
Jesus Christ is our greatest reward and everything we ever need both here on earth and in heaven to come, are all in him.
The primary purpose for which Christ came to save us is to reconcile us back to God and bring us into his Kingdom; there we would receive all things. So let us stay focus on the goal of salvation, rather than being carried away by the needs of this life; they are good to have but shouldn't interfere with your journey into eternal life of Great Glory.
