I believe we win or lose with the uniform we put on each day. The uniform we wear is critical to how we inspire others through our walk with God. We should represent the goodness of God.
God wants his people to be the light to the world. We cannot be defeated, disappointed, or discouraged as men and women of God. Jesus came to give us life and life more abundantly. Our motivation to live for God should not be out of fear of going Hell. It should be because of the peaceful and prosperous life Jesus shed his blood for us to have. Jesus already paid the price for us to live in health, prosperity, salvation and love. We are winners and we should exude that attitude at all times.
We should be the spark in our workplace and family. Consistency is the key. We must stay the course and be obedient to God's word. God already wrote the plan for our life. He knows our destiny and purpose. Once we embrace our purpose and understand the plan God has for us, we will succeed. However, we have to work the plan God has laid out for us in His word.
In football a team has four downs to get a first down. There is no limit to how many first downs a team can earn. However, a team can be its' biggest obstacle in getting first downs and winning the game. I believe the same goes for Christians. We can be our own enemy. We can stop our success by gossip, slander, unforgiveness, not giving, etc.
God has laid the plan out for us but we will not be obedient to His word. Then we wonder why we are in the same situation we were 10 or 20 years ago. We have to make up our minds that something has to change. Some of us are afraid of hell and we have been living in hell on earth. God does not want us to barely get by. We do not serve a God of barely getting by. God wants the world to see his glory here on earth manifested through his people.
What uniform do you have on?
