Motivação
Motivação verdadeira vem de Deus. A Bíblia nos inspira a correr a carreira da fé com perseverança, sabendo que o Senhor fortalece, guia e recompensa os fiéis.
Força do alto
Tudo posso naquele que me fortalece. Deus dá poder aos fracos e renova a força dos cansados — Ele é a fonte de toda motivação.
I can handle anything through Christ who strengthens me.
because God Himself is the One at work in you, both to will and to produce, for His good pleasure.
Correr para o alvo
Prossigo para o alvo, para o prêmio da soberana vocação de Deus em Cristo Jesus. A corrida da fé exige disciplina e foco.
Brothers, I do not consider that I have already claimed it, but this: forgetting the things behind and straining toward those ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize, the upward call from God because of Christ Jesus.
Even an apostle can be rejected
Do you not know that in a stadium race all the runners run, but one gets the prize? Run like that, so that you may win. All athletic competitors exercise general self-control—they do it in order to receive a perishable crown, but we an imperishable one. So that is how I ‘run’, with a definite goal; that is how I fight, with well-aimed blows. Yes, I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, having preached to others, I myself should be rejected..
Propósito e missão
Deus tem planos de esperança para nós. Cada dia é oportunidade de fazer a sua vontade e avançar com confiança na missão.
Further, whatever you (pl) may ask in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in my name, I will do it!
As you go, make disciples in all ethnic nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit; name", singular, not ‘names’. So we have only one name. God is one ‘name’ or essence subsisting in three persons. teaching them to obey everything that I commanded you; and take note, I am with you every day, until the end of the age!"
Amen.
Do not concentrate on what you may eat or what you may drink; do not be anxious. All these things really occupy the nations of the world, and your Father knows that you need them.
