This is the title of my final message of 2007. As we head into 2008, I believe there must be a determination to leave some things behind, while we press to possess any lacking characteristics of the Christ in our lives. In Philippians 3:13-14, Paul has determined to literally forget those things he's made up his mind to leave behind as he reaches for those things that are before him. In this there are declaration, determination and expectation.
Why not make this your season of determination. While challenges and obstacles may come to move you away from your declarations, know that you will succeed with the help of the Lord. What are you determined to possess in this season? While not share them with us and let us pray with you.
Merry Christmas and a blessed 2008.
