September 22, 2018 Turning Point Daily Devotional by Pastor Femi Emmanuel : Topic - YOU ARE NOT THERE YET…
SATURDAY, 22ND SEPTEMBER, 2018.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: “NEVER BE SATISFIED WITH WHO YOU ARE NOW; YOU ARE NOT THERE YET”
ANCHOR TEXT: “Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead”
Philippians 3:13.
Apostle Paul was a man greatly and uniquely used of God to take the gospel to the Gentiles. He had been caught up into the third heaven and heard things; revelations so dramatic and deep. He had seen the miraculous in his ministry; had been loved, hated, accepted, rejected, embraced and avoided.
He had been abased and abounded in blessings. He wrote two-thirds of the New Testament and yet, he wrote to the believers at Phillippi, ‘Brethren, I do not count myself to have apprehended’.
What Paul said was simply that he was not there yet but was on his way. What an amazing man Paul was! A man that never relented on his achievement. He never allowed his many exploits in God’s vineyard to block his vision for higher and greater accomplishments.No one has attained; we are all on the way up.
This will only be true of you if you do not accept the status quo. If you think and believe your level of comfort at the moment is the peak you can ever get to, then, that is it, but if you believe you are not there yet; there is still space for you to keep enlarging and keep impacting your generation.
No matter your level of attainment; you can still do better. Keep having goals in mind. Have vision of where God is taking you on your journey. It is this vision, goal that is seen by faith that will move and motivate you to where you are destined for. Be ready to pay the price for the rise you desire.
