PREFACE SUMMARY

Good day, everyone. I humbly come before you today to express my gratitude for the opportunity to speak before such a large gathering of pastors. I appreciate you for taking the time to listen to me.

Before I proceed, I would like to thank the Lord for inspiring me to share this message with you all. I believe the message I have to share will challenge us as men of God to prioritize unity and reciprocity in our fellowship. It will also inspire us to become all we can be for the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

As Christians, we have been entrusted with the best news on earth, the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. This news is a testament to God's love for humanity and willingness to save sinners. I hope this message will inspire us to become more passionate about spreading the gospel to the world.

The message I have to share with you is an encouragement to us all. It is a call to open our eyes to the incredible opportunities that come our way when we accept the call upon our lives and make every effort to run the Christian race before us. It is a race that requires endurance, perseverance, and faith. It is not a race for the swift or the strong but for those willing to put in the effort and keep their eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith.

In Hebrews chapter 11, we are reminded of the great cloud of witnesses before us. These witnesses are the heroes of faith who have demonstrated great endurance in their walk with God.

The great cloud of witnesses are the ones who inspire us to keep pushing forward, even in the face of adversity. Paul also demonstrated endurance by refusing to give up, turn back, or slow down. He encouraged us to press toward the mark of the prize of God's high calling in Christ Jesus.

To be overcomers in facing life's challenges, we must develop a spirit of endurance. Endurance requires us to keep moving forward, even when it seems we are making no progress. It requires us to trust God's ability to make us strong when we feel weak. It also requires us to believe in God's plan for our lives, even when we don't have all the answers.

The bottom line of this message is to stay on our assignment. We must trust in God's divine protection and develop patience. Patience gives us maturity and strength within our spirit and gives us hope that never disappoints. As we continue running the race before us, remember that we are not alone. God is with us every step of the way and will help us finish the race strong.

"THE WISDOM OF THE ANT."

Beloved, I believe the Lord has inspired me to turn to the book of (Proverbs 6:6-8) and attempt to bring an inspiring message through the study of little creatures we call an Ant, which Solomon called a people that have so much wisdom that the lazy person is challenged to study their ways and be wise.

Ants are tiny insects living in colonies known for their resourcefulness, determination, and cooperation. They have a highly organized social structure, each assigned a specific task, such as foraging for food, caring for the young, or defending the colony.

Did you know ants are tiny creatures but exhibit remarkable intelligence and cooperation in everyday activities? These insects are known for their tireless work ethic, ability to work together towards a common goal, and capacity to adapt to their environment.

Ants are also known for their remarkable communication skills, which allow them to convey complex information to one another through various means. Additionally, ants demonstrate remarkable selflessness and sacrifice for the good of their colony, often putting the group's needs over their own.

One of the most remarkable things about ants is their ability to communicate with each other. They use various methods, including chemical signals and physical touch, to pass on information about food sources, potential dangers, and the colony's location. Ants are also incredibly resourceful, able to chew through concrete and build complex underground structures, including trap doors, roads, and chambers for storing food.
