“Leave Behind Those Who Hold You Back”

🌅 Good Morning, Blessed Souls! ☀️

Scriptural Insight: Hebrews 12:1 (CSB) — “Therefore, let us rid ourselves of every obstacle and the sin that so easily ensnares us. Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us.”

C H O F Ministry’s Synopsis:

This verse calls us to shed every weight and sin that hinders our spiritual journey, urging us to focus on the path God has set before us with unwavering determination.

Bishop Houston’s Contemplation:

In our pursuit of greatness, we often feel compelled to bring everyone along with us. 🏔️ We desire to see our loved ones flourish by our side, sharing in our success and joy. However, not everyone is meant to accompany us to the summit of our achievements. Some may resist our growth, either out of jealousy, insecurity, or a desire to keep us at their level. Recognizing this truth can be painful, but it is necessary for our advancement.

Jesus Himself experienced this when He visited His hometown, where He was not honored or believed (Mark 6:4). His mission required Him to move beyond familiar faces to reach His destiny. Similarly, we must discern who genuinely supports our journey and who subtly sabotages our ascent. 🧗‍♂️

Holding on to relationships that weigh us down is like trying to run a race with heavy burdens tied to our ankles. 🚶‍♂️ It’s not just about letting go of people who don’t want to see us succeed; it’s about releasing ourselves from the chains of negativity and doubt they may bring. Our path to the top is a calling from God, and we must heed it with courage and conviction. 🕊️

Let us embrace those who uplift us, encourage us, and celebrate our victories, but be unafraid to distance ourselves from those who drain our energy and stifle our progress. The journey to the top is not just about reaching a destination but transforming into the person God has destined us to be. 🌟

Let Us Go into The Throne Room of Grace and Mercy.

Heavenly Father, we come before You seeking the strength to discern and detach from those who hinder our divine journey. Help us to run the race with endurance, free from unnecessary weights. Surround us with individuals who uplift and encourage us and give us the wisdom to release those who do not wish to see us flourish. To God be the Glory. 🙏🏿
