Have you ever wondered why there are many starters but very few finishers in the journey of faith?

Scripture Reading
1 Corinthians 10:1–5 KJV
Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. But with many of them God was not well pleased: for they were overthrown in the wilderness.

Exhortation
As a matter of fact, our journey of faith begins from promise and ends at influence. Every promise you receive must be fulfilled to empower you to influence others. The promise of divine health must lead to better health but must not stop there. We must move on to administer healing to others.

The three stages of every faith journey are promise, following, fulfillment and influence. The purpose and plan of God is to bring you to the end of the promise and to empower you to influence others. He wants to bless you until you become a blessing to the nations.
Four simple reasons why many people fall by the way in the wilderness without realising the fulfillment of God’s Word are;
- They don’t get baptised in the clouds and sea;
Until you are ready to follow the leading of the Lord and get totally absolved and immersed into the things of God you may fall and perish before the end.
- Many do not eat the same spiritual meat;
You will faint by the way and not be able to finish your course unless you eat the same spiritual meat from the Lord. You need the Word of God to take you to the next level. Those who finish their race are people who feed on the word of God.

3. Many take the grace of God and anointing for granted;
You will go far if you take the anointing of the Holy Spirit seriously. You must drink of the spiritual water. The anointing is one of the main things that will save you from falling. The grace and anointing preserves your life. The Lord said “touch not my anointed and do my prophets no harm”.
4. Avoid the pitfalls that drowned many;
Finally, if you want to finish your race, don’t lust after evil things, don’t tempt Christ, don’t murmur as some did, stay away from idolatry, and fornication. These are the five barriers that will stop anybody that play with it.
I love you! May the good Lord keep you whole and blameless to the end! Be baptised, continue in the Word and anointing, and avoid the pitfalls that drowned many.
Stay blessed, I love you!
