Today’s Message: Live Forward

Share

Today’s Scripture

“…I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead”
(Philippians 3:13, NLT)

Live Forward

Have you made the decision to forget the past? Many people don’t fully understand what that means. They wonder, “How can I forget something that’s happened to me?” But one definition of the word forget is to disregard intentionally or to overlook. In other words, you have to choose to disregard your past so that it doesn’t keep you from moving forward. That means the good and the bad. Sometimes our past victories keep us from rising higher as much as past failures. If we don’t let go of the old, we’ll never be able to embrace the new.

It doesn’t matter what’s happened in your history, it’s time to forget what lies behind. Today, make the choice live forward. Trust that God has a better future in store for you. Trust that He’s working behind the scenes on your behalf. As you forget what lies behind and press forward, you’ll move forward. You’ll see increase and blessing and live the abundant life He has in store for you!

A Prayer for Today

“Father in heaven, today I choose to forget the past. I don’t want anything to hold me back from what You have in store for my future. I choose forgiveness. I choose peace. Help me, by Your Spirit, to press forward into the life of blessing You have for me in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

  1. All religions are false, Christianity is killing the black community, we have failing schools,poverty, etc. We do not need churches we need after school programs,job centers better health clinics.. .The biggest theives,murders,pimps rapists. are in the church house.Every Sunday all pastors wants to do is take your money ,try to sleep with every woman and give you false words.This is why I stay away from these overly religious black Christians all of them are hypocrites…

  2. The church is one big circus of hypocrisy, liars, deception artists and degenerates who hide behind fake images and smiles. Soon as I became of age, I jumped ship!?

  3. The “church” is a business and what is the objective of a business?………..to make money. Tithing is a SCAM..?

  4. Example some pastors from Malawi own mines in Zambia and SA. They ride in private jets and are surrounded by body guards. Not long ago one of them was threatening Zambia over denial of entry into the country.

    • Exactly! You’d think the ‘Holy Spirit, angels and God’ would be there to protect the so called pastors…Why would ‘men/women of God need bodygaurds, that even their own church members cannot get close to them?

  5. Religious People are Superstitious…(According to the Dictionary) … A Belief or Practice resulting from Ignorance, and Fear of the Unknown and Trusting in Charms and Black Magic.?

  6. Someone lost his pension money to bogus traditional healers who had promised to make him rich by multiplying his money .
    It is alleged that the victim started consulting the fraudulent healers in after he saw a pamphlet advertising their services…

  7. Religion is about God and not people. Believe in God and not human beings who are sinners. If you are looking for saints on earth, you will be disappointed. A lot of people who purport to serve God are only self serving. But God is above all human nonsense. Have faith in God alone.

  8. To me it doesn’t create anything except more zombies, religion is for lazy people too afraid to think for themselves. The church hasn’t built an economy for anyone other than that pimp in the pulpit .?
    Religion has been use to control black folks for hundred of years. When will y’all wake up!??
    A shame that African people have wasted so much time on something that has not only furthered the agenda of racism white supremacy but it has separated African people from the true strength and value of the original African spiritual system…
    The fact is black people are full of fear spooked under the spell of hell and damnation. This scare tactic has surely worked and is working in favour of the slavemaster?..
    Unfortunately you have a mental illness. Never will I praise nd worship a pale…

  9. I know u may not wanta do it, BUT treat the Bible, like an abusive husband. Leave the Bible, for awhile, & search for a better man. Read some history books/Google, is ur friend and helper! Here’s somethin to look-up:

    AMEN-RA. Learn, y u say AMEN, n church. U can Google, or read at the library, on da Council of Nicea, where books of the Bible were put together.
    Look-up Mithra. Compare Mithra, to Jesus. Do the same, to Horus, vs. Jesus… , after u check, these subjects out, then return togittin ripped-off & abused, by your Church & the Bible.?

  10. It’s good to see this Bible Ministry eagerly anticipated by both believers & unbelievers. Good work! Saul fought the Lord but ended up being transformed to Paul & to become 1 of the greatest apostles who even wrote more than 1/2 of the Scriptures. I know those who post on this page to spite & blaspheme the Lord & the Scriptures will experience the same fate as Paul experienced on the road to Damascus. God Bless Zambia
