Philippians 3:13-14 [TPT] I don’t depend on my own strength to accomplish this; however I do have one compelling focus: I forget all of the past as I fasten my heart to the future instead. I run straight for the divine invitation of reaching the heavenly goal and gaining the victory-‘

The decisions that George Washington took during America’s Revolutionary War helped him to become one of the most revered military leaders in US history.
George Washington was known as a man of prayer. Anytime he received divine guidance on any issue, he would move forward with persistence and tenacity. He would refuse to deviate even in the face of extreme adversity. Through his strong faith in God, he took decisions that led their army to victory.
One of these times of resolute focus happened when General Washington was approaching a very fierce battle in the war. He and his troops had crossed over a bridge as they were nearing the battlefield.
As General Washington looked toward the battle and then looked back to where they had come from, he knew some of the soldiers may be tempted to run back across the bridge if the battle became too tough.
With the determination to win, George Washington then gave the order; “Burn the bridge, it is either victory or death’
As the bridge was set on fire, it destroyed the option of retreat. So the American soldiers fought with everything in them and eventually had the victory.
Washington’s strong military leadership made him a national hero. In 1787, he was elected president of the convention that wrote the U.S. Constitution. Two years later, Washington became America’s first president.

To achieve victory in the pursuit of our goals, we need to “burn the bridge!”. We need to cut off alternative paths that will lead to defeat, stick to God’s plan and fight the good fight of faith..

Retreat is easy when you have an option. People who quit in the face of great challenges are usually those who have alternative plans.

In Acts 27, Paul was traveling to Rome when their ship was buffeted by great storms. Paul had received divine assurance of the safety of everyone in the ship but the ship’s crew had alternative plans. They secretly wanted to abandon the sinking ship and the passengers. As they were lowering a boat to escape, Paul alerted the soldiers who cut off the ropes to the boat. With no other option the crew was forced to remain in the ship and that was how they survived. If they had followed through with an alternative plan to escape, they might have died in the stormy sea.
If you’re going to live by faith, you must cut off the ropes to option B and stick to God’s plan. No matter how fierce the storm, refuse to abandon ship, and keep trusting in God’s Word. Refuse to entertain any option of turning back from following Christ. In the armours listed in Ephesians 6 there is no defense for your back, because you are never meant to turn back.
As soldiers of Christ, we are meant to keep pressing forward to victory. Do not accept defeat, do not accept limitation or compromise. This year, let our battle cry be ‘forward ever and backward never!
As you forget the past and keep pressing forward with God’s plan, you will soon break forth to the glorious fulfillment of every divine agenda and prophetic word concerning you.

PRAYER: Lord , I thank You for the strength to always follow Your plan for my life and never compromise. By Your grace upon my life, I will continually be victorious in battles in Jesus Name.
