Don't Let Distractions Stop You From Obtaining Your Crown

Today WOWgroup Global Fellowship NY was reminded that we must focus on winning. Too often believers feel let down or frustrated and we give up. WOWgroup Global Fellowship NY studied Matthew 14:29,30 and noticed that believers forget God's promises. Peter was able to walk on the water by faith, until he took his eyes off Jesus, looking at the storm instead.

Minister Tanya Merced shared a Mime Praise (Without You by Tasha Cobbs)if you would like to see the Mime Praise Click Here.

Afterwards we were divided into two teams and we searched the following scriptures:
Rev 3:8,3:9,3:11,3:12. We learned that if we do not get distracted and focus on Jesus we will reap a great reward.

Top 10 things we should do to not get off course:

10 - Start your day out right by praying in the morning and reading a devotional.

9 - Make sure you are surrounded by Christian friends. Believers have to surround themselves with those who will keep them focused on God. Hold them accountable.

8 - Make goals ~ how are you going to win others to Christ? Where do you want to be in the next 6mos. or year?

7 - Plan ahead. This goes with 7. Don't procrastinate and wait for the last minute to do things. It will not be your best.

6 - Read up on Christianity. It's important to know what you believe and be able to back it up.

5 - Make a list or use post-its. Start praying for those family members or friends who do not know Christ.

4 - Spend. Be generous with your time and money. Take your friend or family member who is not a believer out to lunch or dinner, etc. Spend time with people even if they are annoying and your rather spend your time doing something else. Your showing Jesus. Actions speak louder than words.

3 - Don't worry be Joyful ~ Romans 8 God works all things for good.

2 - Be creative. God has given you unique Godly gifts so that you can please Him and bless others. These gifts are to bring non-believers to the knowledge of Christ.

1 - Do not forget your mission -
Matthew 28:18-20 (New International Version)
The Great Commission
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
