Press for the Prize Talk about something that’s worth going after! Walking with Jesus and ministering under His Anointing is the most precious thing in life there is. As the Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 3: “I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, and be found in him, not having mine own righteousness…but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith” (verses 8-9). Paul used strong language there! He compared having faith in anything other than the Anointed One and His Anointing to having faith in dung. He said that when it comes to excellence in ministry, putting trust in money is like trusting in dung. Relying on natural human abilities is like relying on dung. Depending on a superior education or academic achievements is like depending on dung. We don’t want to waste our lives on dung! We want to invest them in going after the excellence found in the knowledge of The LORD Jesus and His Anointing! We want to say, as Paul did: “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” (verses 13-14). This is a third key to increasing your spiritual impact! Forget those things which are behind. Stop thinking about how much you fouled up yesterday. Yesterday is dead and gone, so repent of whatever you did wrong, forget it, and press forward toward the calling of the high prize of God. Press to grow in His Anointing. Press to stay under it, not only for your own benefit and for the benefit of your family, but because someone sick is coming your way. Someone who’s been oppressed by the devil is coming. Someone who needs a word from God or a miracle is coming, and to receive it they’ll need you to minister to them the excellency of the supernatural power of God. So be ready for them! Keep increasing in faith and in the anointing every day…week after week…year after year. Keep on increasing your impact for the kingdom of God decade after decade until, at 120 years old when you’ve finished your course, you hear Jesus say, “Well done, faithful servant. Come on home!” V **************************************** **************************************** Recently, our KCM Africa office reached out to render aid to 100 families in two informal settlements in Krugersdorp, South Africa. Each of these families, all living below the poverty line and without running water or electricity, received a food hamper filled with enough food to see them through the Christmas season. If you are a Partner with KCM, you were part of this outreach because you share in everything we do—every soul that is saved, every person who is healed, every person whose life is touched. We couldn’t do it without you—thank you! V #KindnessMatters **************************************** BVOV : 9
