ten steps to reach the victory
Hebrews 11:33 to 12:16
“And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise” v39.
This text of the book of Hebrews is known as the gallery of the heroes of the faith and it detaches the wonderful victory that many servants of God reached because his faith impelled them accomplish extraordinary things for the Mister, however in the end of the chapter 11 we see the case of some people that, seemingly, they didn't obtain so much success. Difficult to understand because God would put examples like this in a gallery of heroes.
Of the beginning of the chapter to the verse 34 we see several examples of servants clearly that, for the faith, they reached great victories, and already in the verse 35 we found the beginning of the citation on these that didn't reach the promise.
Why will be that some see and do they prove the victory while some not? How is it that I should face my fight?
1. Stand back of anything that disturb you to continue you.12:1. – So that you can reach the victory anything that turns you slow it should be part of your life. Stand back of any sin that impedes you of running and force you to walk slowly.
2. Maintain the firm glance in Jesus. 12:2. – No matter how it lasts is being your walk tries to maintain the eyes always firm in that that reached the victory in spite of it being betrayed and abandoned for friends, beaten and dead, but even so he didn't put aside continuing, having faith that would reach the final victory.
3. Think about the resignation of the other ones. 12:3-4. – When we faced fights to look for others that also faced battles and they were victorious encourage you to continue. This will help you to face your fights. Know that always exists or somebody existed whose suffering is larger than yours.
4. Allow God to educate you. 12:7-8. – God corrects and he teaches because in the owner and it considers us as children as any father corrects the son when necessary. The word declares: don't discourage when for Him you be corrected. The treatment with God can be painful, but he will bring the cure in the end.
5. Take energy for their hands and feet. 12:12. Same when the fight seems too big and the impossible victory of being reached, don't discourage. Even if you have suffered a defeat, get up and begin to struggle again, continue battling in search of the victory for his life.
6. Draw a straight road. 12:13. In this verse we can learn two things:
a. To draw a straight road means not to be giving turns around a problem, determine where you want to arrive and walk, be not stopped waiting for the victory to fall of the sky.
b. Be example for the weakest. The way like you faces your fight encourages other continue her in their battle.
7. Avoid to lose time with discords. 12:14. – It looks for the peace with all. When you waste time with discords you divert the focus of your main objective.
8. Reach the best blessings. 12:15a. – Besides trying to reach the grace of God you should also struggle so that nobody to his turn if it deprives of her, this is the best blessing.
9. Watch. 12:15b. – Things that contaminate the people's interior Exist and one of them is the bitterness. Be always alert as a sentry. The bitterness you disturb and this makes you to divert the attention of the fight.
10. Learn how to value what deserves value. 12:16. – Esau sold the blessing of the primogeniture in exchange for a plate of lentils, same tends if been sorry later and wanting to return behind had to see his blessing go to his brother. Many lose valuable things because they didn't know how to value them when they had them.
Some that face battles will never receive everything that God promised in life. Hebrew 11:39 declare that many that faced tremendous fights for love to God didn't reach the promise, but you should not discourage. The verse 40 declares: "providing God some better thing." God has a better thing to you.
I detach the step of number 2. it Maintains the eyes in Jesus. This is the secret of the victory. The size of the battle that you have to face doesn't matter, maintain the eyes in Christ's cross, believing that your victory will arrive.
See you!
