(Colossians 1:11-12) This verse tells us we are strengthened from the Lord’s glorious might and we are motivated by a thankful heart for our inheritance in the kingdom of light. Being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. Pressing on falls into the category of endurance or perseverance. Pressing on can exhaust us both physically, mentally, and emotionally, yet we are called to press on. What motivates us to press on when opposition, fear, and disappointment seems to surround us. (Galatians 6:9) This verse describes what it means to press on, not giving up. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

We are to press on in the ministry God has called for us, and never give up no matter what the outcome or opposition. Paul took every opportunity to minister to everyone, including the guards in the prison where he spent his final years. His pressing on meant he kept doing he Lord’s will ministering to the early churches through visiting them and writing letters them. The apostle Paul continued pressing on to his last breath. Pressing on toward the goal requires we live with our thoughts in the present following the Spirit. Do you ever find yourself focused more on the future or the past rather than today? The Lord has put it on my heart to live each moment to the fullest, which mean enjoying the present and being prepared to minister to someone that I might overlook if I was focusing on tomorrow. I found myself yesterday thinking too much about tomorrow’s events rather than thinking about the here and now. I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Home > Library > Pressing on Toward the Goal Message Library Pressing on Toward the Goal
