Achieving You Goal In Christ | Phillippians 3:13-15 By Stephen Harrison Senior Pastor, Family Church
Every sport with a ball has a goal (even if it isn’t named “goal”) and is used to score points. Football has goal posts. Basketball has a goal. So does soccer. Each player works to achieve victory by placing their ball strategically into the goal. A player suits up, steps onto the playing field, and exerts tons of energy because they believe they will score in their goal causing them to ultimately win the game. Goals aren’t met easily. But with training, patience, work, and perseverance, goals are met. Every goal met leads to great chances of victory. Maybe you’ve never played a sport but I’m sure you’ve set your eyes on a goal before. During this 21 days of prayer and fasting remember: set small, reachable goals that add up over the duration of
the “game”, (the 21 Days), and shooting first then drawing a end with success. bull’s eye around the bullet hole. The Apostle Paul wrote in Philippians 3:13-15, “One Clearly define your goal. thing I do: Forgetting what is That’s step one. Remember behind and straining toward that what your abstaining what is ahead, I press on to- from is just half the goal. ward the goal to win the prize What you decide to put in its for which God has called me place (prayer, scripture memheavenward in Christ Jesus. orization, worship, bible readAll of us who are mature ing, etc.) is the other half. If should take such a view of you aim at nothing you will things.” Paul set goals to win! hit it every time! Start slow if His goal was knowing Christ. you’ve never fasted before. Knowing Christ better was a Fast a meal a day. When you win for him and is a win for achieve that, step it up and us. As you set goals during fast a whole day, rememberthis fast remember this: goal ing to pursue the Lord as you setting is risky. You risk not evade food. meeting it. But you also risk meeting that goal. Goals Questions: never set are never reached. No goals mean no failure but What goals have you set in isn’t failure really never set- fasting?

goal to you: Knowing Christ more intimately or abstaining from food (or something else)? Which is harder to do? Why? How are they connected? Do you have a plan for growth? What scriptures are you going to read tomorrow? Which will you memorize? What time will you set aside today to worship? Have you made a prayer list? Prayer: Thank you Lord for having a specific purpose and goal for my life. Help me by giving me courage, desire, and direction in fulfilling those goals during this time of prayer and fasting. You are my strength and my ultimate goal is knowing you more (not just knowing more about You). Like Paul, I forget the things of the past that want to drag me away from the goal and prize of knowing you. Thank for you for victory! In Jesus’ name, Amen.
