FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED!

KEY TEXT: Philippians 1:6 (KJV) “Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:”

BACKGROUND AND THOUGHTS ON THE TEXT: There are things God has started in our lives that must not end halfway. Some promises have been delayed, some journeys have become tiring, and some assignments have demanded more endurance than we expected. But the God who began the work is faithful to complete it. Today, we receive grace to finish well, finish strong, and finish with evidence. We will not abandon what God ordained because of delay, opposition, disappointment, or weariness. What He has started in us and through us shall come to glorious completion.
