On Their Mark - Robert Madu
Hebrews 12:1-2
1 Samuel 18:5-9
Keep your eyes on Jesus.
Playful frolic.
Comparison is so strong it caused Saul to focus on David instead of Jesus.
You can't run the race because you're so focused on the others in the lanes next to you.
Who are you racing?
Chase after the assignment God has placed on your life.
Comparing yourself to other people is like running on the treadmill. You are in the same position.
Whenever you preach, preach from your weakness and you'll never lack material.
Comparison is the number one weapon the devil uses for mass distraction and mass destruction.
You cannot be content when you're comparing.
2 Corinthians 10:12
Comparison will consistently cloud the clarity of God's call on your life.
There is a call on your life.
A call so unique to you.
I am called!
There is a difference between a career and a calling.
Paid to do vs made to do.
God has given you everything you need to accomplish your calling.
Stop complaining to the master about the pieces you feel you don't have and be praising Him for making you a masterpiece!
I am a masterpiece.
Ephesians 2:10
God is a strategic God.
Stay in your lane.
And keep your eyes on Jesus!
Don't wreck your life trying to get in someone else's lane, just stay in your lane.
Duality to your destiny :
Universal : to become more and more like Jesus every single day.
Unique to you : become unlike anyone else God has ever created.
Challenge of life is to stay in your lane and your keep your eyes on Him.
The day you run your race looking around, there is a crash in your future.
If the brightness of the blessing blinds you to the Blesser it becomes a curse.
Comparison is the beginning of the end.
"But ME"
He connects what's going on with them back to him.
"But ME" attitude takes joy out of a celebratory situation.
Who started the comparison?
Saul didn't start it.
Wasn't even David that started it.
This was an external voice that placed the comparative on him.
The ladies weren't even comparing Saul's number to David's number.
Simply for literary impact.
They were just saying Saul killed a bunch. David killed a bunch. We're just glad they're all dead.
You need to be able to celebrate the successes of other people.
Don't be stingy with your compliments.
social Media
Awareness accelerates discontentment
Would you like to know the real reason you got in the fetal position?
You were comparing how they run their race instead of focusing on how I've called you to run yours.
I have given you a grace to run your race!!
