A Two-Mile Man In A One-Mile World
In this lesson, A Two-Mile Man In A One Mile World, the mentality of the two-miler sometimes, is that, he will never get to the place that God wants him to get to. But regardless of what the devil may be whispering to you right now, two-milers always come out on top. When the difficulties of life come, when you fall in the race, the choice is yours: You can stay down and out, or you can get to your feet and strive for the second mile. Two mile men grow in some of the most adverse conditions. The pits, the accusations, and the prisons that Joseph came out of seemed only to heighten his commitment and his abilities. Never once in the account in Genesis, will one find Joseph complaining about his lot in life. That was because he had an understanding and trust in his God. In spiritual life it takes a course of bereavements, persecutions, losses, and trials to develop great character. But the violent can take it by force. Revivals are not born on the shoulders of spiritual wimps, but are birthed by two-milers. Revivals are borne by men who worship in cold churches. Two mile men press and push even if the attendance is not what they desire it to be. They linger at the altar when it seems like repentance has closed shop. They still have God's plan on their mind, even when they are stressed out beyond belief. Two-milers are men who hold fast to holiness when everyone else is seemingly tossing things over the side by the truckload. Two-mile men still worship regardless of what is going on with the pressures of the job.
