GOAL ATTAINMENT
COURAGE-PART 1 OF 5
INTRODUCTION:
THE APOSTLE PAUL STRESSED GOAL ATTAINMENT. COURAGE IS A VITAL COMPONENT OF GOAL ATTAINMENT.
SPIRITUAL INSIGHT:
READ PHILIPPIANS 3: 14. PAUL EXPRESSED HIS GOAL ATTAINMENT IN THIS VERSE.
THE AMPLIFIED BIBLE READS “I PRESS ON TOWARD THE GOAL TO WIN (THE SUPREME AND HEAVENLY) PRIZE TO WHICH GOD IN CHRIST JESUS IS CALLING US UPWARD.”
JOSHUA IS ANOTHER BIBLE CHARACTER OF COURAGE AND GOAL ATTAINMENT.
READ JOSHUA 1: 5-9
GOD’S CHARGE TO JOSHUA WAS TO LEAD ISRAEL INTO THE PROMISE LAND OF THEIR FOREFATHERS. THIS REQUIRED STRONG, RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP. HIS CONFIDENCE WAS IN GOD AND THE LAW (MOSAIC LAW). HIS CHARGE WAS TO BE STRONG AND REMAIN STRONG IN THE LORD TO GET THE JOB DONE. HIS SUCCESS DEPENDED UPON HIS OBEDIENCE.
APPLICATION: GOAL ATTAINMENT REQUIRES BOLD COURAGE AND OBEDIENCE. OPPORTUNITY ARISES IN THE PROCESS FOR YOUR SPIRITUAL GROWTH. LET GOD DO HIS WORK IN YOU TO ACHIEVE YOUR GOALS. RECEIVE FROM OVERCOMING, BELIEVERS ADVICE ALONG THE WAY.
