13 Jul Will You Finish Well?
Preacher Huijun - 28 November 2013
Respond In Faith To God's Faithfulness
From the beginning of the world, God has always been faithful to His promises. He gave the promise of Emmanuel, and He that has a plan for His children. Even when we are weak and fall short of His glory, all the times, God never forget His plan for His children, and He give us grace to be able to respond to Him in faith. Draw strength from Him and remove the Canaanites in your life now so that you can go into total obedience to God. How do you know you have faith in God? It is when you trust God and Obey Him to the end.

Are we doing well?
1) Am I closer to God than half a year ago?
2) Have I allowed any weakness or sin to fester without dealing with it?
3) How have I stretched my faith this year?
4) How about my relationships with others?
Obstacles to finishing well:
- <Heb 12:1> “…let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us”
1) Sin.
- “Fruitfulness” ≠ Holiness
- Holiness > Outcomes
- Battle sin
- Don’t hide
2) “Everything that hinders”.
- May not be outright sin
- Complacency
- Indifference
- Laziness
How can we finish well then?
1) The grace of God above all else.
- <1 Co 15:10> But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of them—yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
2) Daily “uncompromised” time with God.
- Usually fall not suddenly but bit by bit.
- Daily doses of God’s word and intimate prayers.
3) Offer ourselves as daily living sacrifices to God.
- The power to do so comes from remembering God’s mercy on us.
4) The support of the body of Christ.
- <2 Ti 2:22> “Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.”
5) Always carry an eternal perspective.
- Learn to number our days <Ps 90:12>, so that we can live wisely.
Two Sauls:
King Saul- Started well, ended bad
Saul/Paul-Bad start, finished well
“It is more important to finish well than to start well.”
“No one finishes well by accident, it comes with prayerful, deliberate efforts.”
