CHURCH NEWS AND OTHER FEATURES
Pathway to Victory
Evangelist Rachel Thomas
Webster’s dictionary
defines the word “Path” as 1:
a way worn by footsteps; 2. a
walk for use by people on
foot, as in a park; 3. a course
along which something
moves; and 4. a course of
conduct or procedure. I
believe the word can be
defined as a journey in life in
which each individual must
travel, to make a way where
none had existed, to a point in
destiny where one must
spend eternity.
I know there is a cliche of
“Been there, done that’’ but
have we really walked in our
brother’s shoes so to speak?
God has a plan for each one
of us, and I believe they are
all as different as the finger
print of each person’s hand—
none are the same.
In order to fulfill that plan
God has for us, we must seek
His face and be that pathfind
er where none had existed.
We must look into ourselves
to see what kind of heart we
have? Examine yourself
(nailing the coffin of your
self).
The plan God has for us is
all uphill. He did not say the
road would be easy in this
world, but He did say to
“press” our way because He
has overcome “this world,”
and there is a prize at the end
which we will receive for
fighting good fight of faith.
We have the victory if you
find your path in Jesus. He is
the Way, the Truth, and the
Life! We can only do it
through Him because He
said, “I can do all things
through Him who strengthens
me.”
There are trials, tribula
tions and circumstances
which we face in life and they
are so insurmountable that we
just do not, and cannot see
anyway around or out of
them. However, if you
“have” the “Savior,” if you
have the Holy Spirit of God,
you can make it, because
with Him, ALL things are
Possible.!! Thank God for
Jesus! Look to Jesus. He is
the answer to every problem.
He is the Way!
May I Present:
...My friend, Jesus Christ!
Doubtless, His name is famil
iar to you, but have you ever
met Him? Knowing about
Jesus Christ and knowing
Him are two vastly different
things.
To know Him is to Love
Him! “W love Him because
He first loved us.” 1 John
4:19. To know Him is to
serve Him. “Whatsoever ye
do, do it heartily as to the
Lord.” (Col. 3:23) To know
Him is to have eternal life,
and an entrance into Heaven.
“Lor whosoever shall call
upon the name of the Lord
shall be saved.” (Rom.
10:13).
Do you want to know Him?
1. BELIEVE on Him:
“God hath given to us eternal
life, and this life is in His
son” (1 John 5:11).
2. RECEIVE Him person
ally! “But as many as receive
Him, to them gave He power
to become the sons of God,
even tot hem that believe on
His name.” (John 1:12).
