Will You Become A Runner?

Will You Becoming A Runner?

A few weeks ago I taught from the theme, “God Included You”.  Sometimes in preaching and teaching we don’t have time to point out all we need to because usually there is so much more pertaining to the matter. In that message I emphasized that “It Is The Nature Of God To Always Meet The Needs In Which The Times Demand. God is not nervous about the decadence and the perils of our times…..He is looking for vessels to anoint that will rise to the occasion. He always works through leaders that have consecrated themselves to His service, our assignment is to receive vision and articulate it to people connected to us, thus our times can be redeemed and society can be blessed. I would like to refer to such people as “Runners”. 

Habakkuk 2:2

Write the vision and make in plain on tablets, so that he may run who reads it.

When a man or woman receives a vision from Heaven of what God wants accomplished on the Earth, his or her first move is often to look for money to facilitate it.

But the greatest resource that a vision can have is not money; it is people – people who are passionate about the Kingdom Of God; people who understand that their lives are strategic to God’s eternal purpose, and who declare, “This is what I want to spend my whole life on.”

Above all else a vision requires people who will run with it. The main reason why any vision doesn’t get off the ground is because it lacks runners.

The runners are those who take hold of the vision and practicalize it. It will require a great company of giftings and multifaceted wisdom to bring the GHCF vision to its fullest expression.

Not only that, but we are called to be runners with a defined race We are not to be aimless, as one beating the air, but those who run with focus and discipline, so that we can win the prize. Winning is the reward of those who run consistently within their lane, and who will say, “Leave that segment of the race to me. I have it covered.”

When a person starts to run, it demands an explanation. When you start to run, others will begin to run alongside you, simply because you are running. Your influence for the Kingdom will immediately be increased.

A runner experiences a shift in every part of his being: his metabolism, his focus, his mindset and what is important to him, all will change. Nothing remains the same. Under the anointing, he is turned into another man. Every Christian should at least one time, experience the anointing coming upon him to the degree that he is shocked at himself and at what God will do through him.

It’s time to go into the enemy’s camp and to discover ourselves and what God will do with our lives, once we give ourselves over to Him. Maybe you don’t believe you have the strength or the time to do what God called you to do. Become part of the company of runners who gather under this vision and let the Holy Ghost come upon you.

A company of runners will have multiplied strength. Even an ox tied to a donkey will pull harder, even though the donkey isn’t actually yoked up. There will be a synergy, that will give us the ability to change a generation. As we march as one, each of us will become giants, and our God will be glorified.

The question may be asked, Pastor what are you looking for in those calling themselves member of this fellowship? The answer will be, “Will you be a runner? Not a lone runner, remaining independent and self-directed; but a member of a company of runners, flowing as a team and allowing God to maximize your impact”.

Let God’s purposes become your driving force as you run your set race.

That is the Greater Harvest that I see.
