BREAKING YOUR OWN RECORD

LIGHT FOR THE WAY

TOPIC: BREAKING YOUR OWN RECORDS

TEXT: "Christ is your example follow in His step" (1Peter 2:21 TLB)

Life is a race, to be a true winner, you must compete against yourself, not somebody else. Out running your rival doesn't mean you ran your best race. You can win over another and still not fulfil your potential. To be your best, you must compete against yourself and break your own record to be declare a winner.  It's life biggest contest. A loser is a winner however many his losses, if he conquer himself. A winner is a loser however many his victories, if he losses in the battle over himself. Alexander the Great cinquer the world, yet cursed his own lack of self control. Victory over others may infact be the very thing that contributes to the winner's failure to conquer self. Winning makes him arrogant, independent, thoughtless and sometimes cruel. To put it in another way, its not another to you that makes the difference it's how you handle it. The one who stops maturing spiritually because he thought he knows the scriptures more than other, or has more success in life, is still far from what Christ planned for him.
Jesus is our example, He is our standard, let's follow in his example. Though he was tempted in all front, yet he didn't sin: He never lied, never answered back when insulted. When He suffered he didn't threaten to get even; He left his case in the hands of God who always judge fairly( 1 peter 2:21-23). Go ahead measure yourself by that standard! And when you see how far short you fall, get on your knees and ask God to mold and fashion your life into the full potential and the divine original He intended. Do that, and you win the biggest battle of all and you will set new record each time.
