CHALLENGE YOURSELF
Challenge what is inside of you and you will never want to be like someone else.
Beloved,
Welcome to the month of Love. Remember, no one is fighting a battle that is meant for you. As we are different in size, color, race, etc, so are our battles different in life. Everything that God has made possible on this Earth is to prepare us for a day when we will not only rejoice but also thrive to obtain. The Bible says, "Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain"(1 Cort. 9:24). This scripture is an indication that everyone is slated for his/her race and everyone can obtain the prize if they all run in their different race. This tells you that your competitor is not necessarily anyone in your neighborhood or your friends in life. This is a case of your ability versus your desire. Your ability talks about your responsibility in running while your desire talks about your willingness to run.
A lot of people have taken away their unique nature because of how much they focus on others. They have become enemies to themselves because they feel others are running better than them. Listen, NO ONE IS RUNNING YOUR RACE. If you focus on other people's running, you may never run in life. Do yourself a favor so you can obtain the prize God has destined for you.
There's no doubt that other people may be running their race well, but it’s no use to you if you only watch, envy, and idolize them and forget that you have your race to run. You have been featured 100% in yours so don't feel left out. The race people may be running should remind you that you are also in your race and not make you feel like a loser in their race because you are not running in theirs.
My dear friends, one of the easiest ways to lose track of your life adventure is to compare yourself with another person. Even twins don't run the same race. I want to challenge you to challenge yourself in this season to maximize yourself. One of the reasons why you should not compare yourself with others is because the conditions that are situated with your neighbor's race are different from your race.
Challenge yourself and you will see that you have a chance of being great.
Challenge yourself and you will discover that no one can do YOU like you.
Challenge yourself and you will never want to be like someone else.
There's a moment waiting for you when you will tap yourself on the shoulder and say well done, you have done well being your competitor.
Look deep down, no one wants to compete with you except yourself.
Look deep down, no one wants to be your biggest fan than yourself.
Look deep down, no one is fit enough to be your greatest encouragement.
IS ANYONE THE REASON WHY I AM WHERE I AM TODAY?
If you do life being your challenger, you will always aim for bigger achievements, because you will never be satisfied with your current situation.
My prayer is that God will help you see beyond what you know, so you can challenge what is inside of you. This is possible and God will help you through it.
CHALLENGE YOURSELF IF YOU CAN.
Happy February- The month of LOVE
