There’s so much work that still has to be done, even if we begin well. And I want to encourage us in this year, that we continue with God in the same faith, strength, vigor and purpose that we did at the beginning of the year, and that we ended up finishing well.

Welcome to the Jamie Luce podcast. Thank you for joining me today. I want to talk to you today about finishing strong. If you will stick with me today, we’re going to go through I promised you in one of our previous episodes that I would talk a little bit more about the life of King ASA, and how he had begun his reining with real faith, real courage. Someone who he was someone who sought the Lord, He obeyed the Lord, he saw great victories, he saw peace, where the enemy could not come against him, there was a 10 year span, where they had no enemy who dared come against them because they knew God was with them. And as I pondered his life, I was looking over the lives of his fathers before him. And some of them did well, some of them did not do well. And it just really, I don’t know about you. But there are certain things when I read in Scripture. And it happened to me when I was first coming across this year in ringing, reading about King ASA. When I read this particular thing, I’ll share what that isn’t just a second, I get grieved every single time I read it, and you see it over and over again, in the lives of the kings of Israel. And some in the lives of the kings who ruled over Judah before David had brought them together, then they re split again. Um, you see this pattern of kings who would lean and put all their confidence in the fact that they had relationships with other kings, whom they could pay off. And what would grieve me every time was when I would read the words that they would take the things that were dedicated to the Lord, the gold, the silver, the bronze, whatever it might be. And they would take that and use that as payment to give to these other kings things that belong to the Lord. It just every time upsets me, I read it. And literally, it grieves me, I think God, they’re taking what belongs in your house. These were items dedicated to the Lord. And they’re being used for outside, ungodly kings, the support of the arm of the flesh. And in reading that I came in at, well, I should say that with King aces life in particular, because I’m not going to go over the other kings today. But with with his life in particular, I was even more disappointed, I was so disappointed because he started off so well.

And this is the month of February in 2023. And many people have started the year off well, they had great intentions. You know, they made adjustments, they went on fast. And in doing that, they began well. And I want to encourage us today, that it doesn’t matter how we start. It matters how we finish. I’m glad if you had a good start. I hope you did that, you know, one good decision helps promote the next good decision. So I hope that you did. But I am very concerned that we make the emphasis, especially here in the western part of the world. We make the emphasis on what we think the year is going to be like and how we behave, and what changes we make. We put the emphasis on the beginning. We don’t put the emphasis on the end. And we do ourselves a very, very huge disservice. I believe it produces in us a false sense of security. That somehow because we’ve done that, that’s all we have to do. If I began well or I, I you know, it’s kind of like if you if you planted a crop and you put the seed in, but then you don’t water it you don’t take care of the land you don’t you don’t make sure that invaders don’t come in. They’re such The work that still has to be done even if we begin well. And I want to encourage us in this year, that we continue with God in the same faith, strength, vigor and purpose that we did at the beginning of the year, and that we end up finishing well. So if you will turn in your Bibles with me, oh, gosh, where do I want to start? Let’s start in Second Chronicles 14, I’m going to have us look at King aces life real quickly. And then I’m going to take you into the New Testament. And we’re going to look at Paul’s life. And I want you to see the difference. And I want you to see what the value is, and where our focus should be on how that is at the end, not just the beginning. So if you will look with me, Second Chronicles 14. And the very first 787 verses. Explain that. And I don’t want to take the time to read the entire text. But they explain that. Well, let’s all read the first couple of verses, and then I’ll explain. We’ll start with verse. Well, we’ll start at the first at the begin at the beginning, verse one, when Elijah died, he was buried in the city of David, his son ASA became the next king. There was peace in the land for 10 years.

Asa did what was pleasing and good in the sight of the Lord his God. So we can see right from the start, he had a good beginning, he did what was good and pleasing in God’s sight. And that’s good. And those actions as we read, if we drop down to the second half of verse five, it says, So Asus Kingdom enjoyed a period of peace. So there were wonderful consequences. There were rewards to the work that he put in, in seeking God and in obeying God, doing what was good and pleasing, he saw the results, and they were good, and he had peace, and the people around him had peace, the kingdom had peace, because they had sought the Lord. Then if we look, I want you to jump to chapter 15. We also saw I’m not going to take the time to read it the second half of chapter 14 where they had a battle and they had to put their trust in the Lord. And in the Lord only. It specifically says that they told the Lord it is you alone who can help us we are trusting in you alone, to prevail for them, and God did and they had great spoils a great victory that day. But if we move to Chapter 15, I want us to start reading from verse one. And I want you to track with me I might jump around a little bit here. But verse one says, then the Spirit of God came upon Azariah, son of Obed. And he went out to meet King ASA as he was returning from the battle. Listen to me, ASA. So this is the return from the battle that they just won against the Ethiopians who had come against them in a battle of over a million men, and God had brought them this great victory. He says, listen to me, Asa, he shouted, listen, all you people of Judah and Benjamin, the Lord will stay with you, as long as you stay with him. Whenever you seek Him, you will find him.

But if you abandon Him, He will abandon you. Now I know that this one little particular two verses here, one verse, I, for me, actually, it conjured up other scriptures that I know as long as you stay with Him, He is the Lord will stay with you, as long as you stay with him reminds me of all the passages where Jesus says that He is the vine, we are the branches apart from Him, we can do nothing, that we are to abide in Him and He will abide his word will abide in us. So that part of the Scripture, you know brought to mind to me those scriptures that we have to remain, you can’t just begin in God you have to remain in God you can’t just call on him and, and do what he wants for the moment. This is this is a life of surrender that we live as Christians. And he says, When you seek Him, you’ll find Him. We read that in Jeremiah 2913, that if we will seek the Lord, we will find him If we seek Him with all of our heart. So this is something that we know is all throughout Scripture, that’s just repeating itself. But then he says these words, if you abandon Him, He will abandon you. And I know people don’t like to hear that, because they say that, you know, God said that He will never leave us or forsake us. Well, he doesn’t. As long as you’re with him, he will never leave you. But you can leave him, you can choose not to ask God, for instructions for the strategy for your life. You can choose not to obey instructions that he gives you. You can choose not to follow His commands, you can choose to give yourself wholeheartedly to all kinds of things that have nothing to do with God.

So you have to understand what this word is saying, God is saying, Listen, if you leave me, you abandon me, well, then you’ve abandoned all my protection, you’ve abandoned my ways, you’ve abandoned my, my, my strategies, you’ve abandoned the plans I had for you. So make sure you understand what’s being said here. This is not contradictory. This is this is by choice what will happen if we choose not to stay and remain with God following him following his commands, doing it God’s way. He’s also encouraged. Down in verse seven, it says, But as for you, be strong and courageous for your work, work will be rewarded. So this word that God was bringing was not a correction word, it was an admonition. You’ve come back from a great victory. I want to give you more victories, if you’ll stay with me, this is what you’re gonna get. If you leave me, you will not get this result. So be encouraged, stay strong, your work will be rewarded. Now remember, this works both ways your work is rewarded. Whether your work is good work and is rewarded good toward you, or whether your work that you’re doing is not good work, you will be rewarded with the consequences of that work as well. You will be rewarded one way or the other, you will receive a reward for what you have done. So where do I want to take you? Let’s look. Let’s continue reading. Verse eight says when ASA heard this message from Azariah, the prophet, he took courage and removed all the detestable idols from the land of Judah and Benjamin and in the towns he had captured in the hill country of Ephraim. And he repaired the altar of the Lord, which stood in front of the entry room of the Lord’s temple. Than a so called together all the people of Judah and Benjamin along with the people of Ephraim Manasseh. And Simeon, who had settled among them, for many from Israel had removed had moved to Judah during Asus reign, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him. There was such evidence of the power of God with King ASA that people who had lived in Israel came and moved from their tribes to live in Judah just so that they could be under a king who was serving God, because they saw the evidence of his life.

Verse 11, on that day, this is so wonderful on that day, they sacrifice to the Lord 700 cattle, and 7000 sheep and goats from the plunder that they had taken in the battle, they had taken so much that this was their offering. Then they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord, the God of their ancestors with all their heart and soul. They agreed that anyone who refused to seek the Lord the God of Israel would be put to death. Now, I know that sounds harsh, but the reason they were doing that is they wanted no one available to turn their hearts away, to pull them away. They took this that seriously, you know, we really need to think about this. Because do you take your relationship with the Lord so seriously, that you don’t allow certain relationships in your life? Because those people have an influence on you that is not an influence to keep you in in a right righteous walk with the Lord, a holy life before God? Do you take seriously enough to cut those relationships off? If they are a hindrance to you walking in the purpose in the power of God? We have some lessons we can learn by reading the lives of these people, not just you know, we can tend to think oh, that was just the way it wasn’t the Old Testament. They were so harsh back and they do that we don’t do that now. But you can do everything in the Old Testament is a type and shadow of what was to come in the New Testament and These are shadows of things that we can understand how to apply them to our life. They matter they there’s a way of doing things that that works. There’s there’s there are methods, there are reasons they did what they did. Let’s drop down to, oh, we’ll just keep we’ll just continue reading. whether young or old man or woman, they shouted out their oath of loyalty to the Lord. With trumpets blaring, and ram’s horns sounding. All in judo, we’re happy about this covenant, for they had entered into with all their heart. If you missed the episode that played in regards to King ASA before, I want to say that’s one or two episodes before this, you need to go back and listen to that. It’s talking about how to have peace in your life. It this plays so hand in hand with that message. It really is kind of an offshoot of that, because they’re saying how important it was that they turned to the Lord and sought the Lord with all their heart. And that’s just kind of a plug for that message. Because if you didn’t hear it, you really need to hear it. But they earnestly sought after God, and they found him. If we seek Him, we will find Him. They earnestly sought after God, and they found him and the Lord gave them rest from their enemies on every side. King ASA even deposed his grandmother may occur from her position as queen mother, because she had made an obscene Asherah pole. He cut down her obscene poll, he broke it up and burned it in the Kidron Valley. So he took this so seriously, this goes to the point I just made.

Even his own grandmother, he had to cut from her position, because she was serving other gods. She was not doing what she was supposed to be doing. And he made sure that she did not remain his queen mother that she was not allowed this position, because she was not following after God as hard as they were supposed to. They made a covenant we are giving you God our whole life. Folks, that’s what that’s what our relationship with Jesus is. We come into this covenant, we call it a Christian walk, the act of self that being saved, allowing Christ to save us. This act of turning our life over to Him is a life of covenant. I’m saying I give you my life. I’m not saying I give you Sunday morning, when I feel good, when it’s not raining outside. When I’m not tired, because I was so busy on Saturday at the sporting events. Folks, given your life to Christ is not a 15 minute or one hour, watch a YouTube video on Sunday morning. You’re giving your life. You’re saying my life is not my own. I have been bought with a price. Christ has purchased my life. What is Paul teaches he says that it’s my reasonable service, that I should give my life my body as a living sacrifice. That is my reasonable service for what Christ has done for me that when I come into this covenant with him, I give him my all my heart, my soul, my mind, my strength. All that I have belongs to him. Every good gift that I have has come from him. I’m simply returning to him what belongs to him. It says although the pagan shrines were not removed from Israel, Asus Hart remained completely faithful throughout

his life. Okay, so we can see that he was doing really well. He started well, and we can see by this picture that throughout his life, through wars, and then through peace, he was doing very well. He continued seeking the Lord. He promoted the Lord. He caused his people who followed after him to give their hearts and lives to the Lord. I mean, he was doing so well. Here’s here’s the clincher though the clincher here. Here’s the caveat. Let’s read verse 19. So there was no more war. Until so there was no more war until everybody will face the until in their life, things temptations I circumstances, trials, difficulties loss, things will come in this life. In this life you will have tribulation, but be of good cheer for I have overcome the world. Our outlook has to be that of finishing well, our eyes, our perceptions, our vision, our hope for the future, has to always keep in mind the end game, which is eternity, that I am eternally minded that I am not bound by this world and the lust of this world. But instead I have my eyes on the prize. I look forward to what’s ahead. King ASA let’s let’s keep reading. So there was no more war until the 35th year of ACEs rain. This is a lifetime folks. He’s been raining for years, he’s been raining for 35 years doing it well. That the temptation is that we can get so used to doing something, even if we’re doing something really right. For the Lord, you can be serving the Lord and and attending church and a part of ministry and, and doing what all God’s called you to do for years, in an Asus case, 35 years. And you can get so comfortable in what you’re doing. That you’re no longer relying on the Lord the way you used to. You don’t realize you’ve gotten lazy you haven’t used those faith muscles in a while because you’re you’re comfortable. You’ve been doing things God’s way. But and you you’ve been doing it repetitiously but what can happen is that you’re no longer doing it with all your heart. With all your strength. You can be doing it out of good habits. You can be doing it out of right desires to live a good life. But things become habitual, the practices that we do become second nature, you’re not purposed in it anymore. You’re just going with the motions of the course you’ve set. But there’s a danger in that.

Let’s look at what happens. Go to chapter 16 verse one says in the 36 year of ACEs reign, King Basha of Israel invaded Judah and fortified Ramallah in order to prevent anyone from entering or leaving King asis territory in Judah. Asa responded, okay, this is his response. Do you remember the response that we had when the million soldiers were coming against him from the Ethiopians? And he went straight to God? He said, God, you’re the one who can defeat no matter if we have few and they have many you’re the one God that mere men cannot stand against you. You’re the answer. We put our trust in you alone. This is what he had just said during that battle, but years have gone by now. Peaceful years have gone by now. comfortability has has began to take root. And look at his response when this King comes against him. Acer responded by removing the silver and gold from the treasuries of the temple of the Lord and the royal palace. He sent it to King Ben Hur DoD of ihraam, who was ruling in Damascus along with this message. Let there be a treaty between you and me like the one between your father and my father. See, I am sending you silver and gold break your treaty with King Basha of Israel so that he will leave me alone. So he has placed his faith in King Ben hedonic, instead of in the Lord. Now let’s keep reading verse four, Ben Hur, DOD agreed to King aces request and sent the commanders of his army to attack the towns of Israel. They conquered the towns of and I’m not going to try to say that I John Dan Abell, Beth may occur and all the store cities in Naftali as soon as Basha of Israel heard what was happening he abandoned his project a fortified remaja and stopped all work on it. So in the short term, King ASA thought that this was the right move in the short term and he thought it was okay what he did because it looked like he got the result he wanted. Then King ace called out all the men of Judah to carry away the building stones and timbers that Basha had been using to fortify Roma. So use these materials to fortify the towns of GABA and Mizpah. So again, he thinks he’s going to be able to make good with this. Verse seven at that time Hernani the seer came to King ASA and told him because you have put your trust in the king of air ram instead of in the Lord your God, you missed your chance to destroy the army of the king of Ihram. Don’t you remember what happened to the Ethiopians and Libyans and their vast army with all of their chariots and charioteers. At that time, you relied on the Lord, and he handed them over to you. The eyes of the Lord searched the whole earth in order to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. What a fool you have been. From now on, you will be at war. Folks, this is a detrimental mistake. And I’m so trying to encourage you today remain vigilant.

Your ending matters, how you finish matters. Not only was king as his heart, turned in his trust towards the Lord, he now had hardened his heart because his heart was no longer seeking God. His heart was hardened. And now he didn’t want to hear the word of the Lord, the correction of the Lord. Let’s look at verse 10. Asa became so angry with Hernani for saying this, that he threw him into prison and put him in stocks. This was God’s prophet. At that time, Asa also began to oppress some of his people. When he started, he started by blessing his people calling them into covenant, giving them peace on every side because of seeking the Lord. And now he’s putting the Prophet in prison. He’s seeking the help of other people, other kings and not that and not the Lord God. He’s now oppressing some of his own people. He’s dropping so far from where he started. The rest of the events of ACEs reign, from beginning to end, are recorded in the Book of the kings of Judah and Israel. In the 39th year of his reign, Asa developed a serious foot disease. Yet even in the severity of his disease, he did not seek the Lord, the Lord’s help, but turned only to his physicians. So he died in the 41st year of his reign. His ending folks was tragic. Instead of victory upon victory, because here the Lord said, you would have destroyed this enemy, you would have ended in victory. And instead, you’re going to, you’re going to be at war now for this is it you lost your peace, your peace was found in seeking the Lord God, only your peace was found in putting your trust alone in God. And now, you’ve taken that trust and placed it in mere men

in in worldly powers, instead of supernatural godly powers. And even in your sickness, your rebellion, you hold on to your rebellion, and you refuse to turn to God for healing. And you turn to the physicians who can’t help you and you die of your disease. Folks, this is the story of King aces life, a man with a great beginning, a man with even a great lifetime. But in the end, he forfeited it all. He forfeited all of that good work by not finishing well. It is imperative that we finish well. I want us to jump to the New Testament because I want us to look at Paul. Paul’s beginning was a lousy beginning. Paul had come after he was one of the Christians worst enemies. Paul would come after the Christians to kill them. He had to carry with him the memory that he stood watching Steven In agreeing with what was happened to get stoned, taking the life of this godly man who was filled with the Holy Spirit and doing God’s work, not harming anyone seeing to it that the widows were taking care of instead, a man guiltless, and Paul was one of those chasing them down scripture says a pulling them out, dragging them out of their houses. It Paul’s beginning was not good. But it’s what happened when he met Jesus. It’s what happened in his life that Paul knew from the very beginning. At his his covenant with the Lord, His coming to Christ, His Damascus encounter, Paul understood a very important fact. And this really is the the weight of what I wanted to give you today. I’m going to give you several scriptures, please get out your Bibles. If you don’t already have them out your pens and paper. I’m going to give you these jot them down. We’re going to start in Philippians chapter three, verse 13, and 14, Philippians. Three, chapter 13, verses 13 and 14, and it says brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do, okay, so he hasn’t considered that anything he’s attained is is perfection, yet. He’s saying this. One thing I do he knows is one thing, I’ve got this one thing, right. This is what I do. And I’m encouraging you today. This is the one thing you need to do to make sure that your ending is just as good as your beginning, that you can have a fantastic victorious ending, that your whole story can be a glorious story. Regardless of the trials that come regardless of the enemies that attack God will give you the victory, you will be victorious over every circumstance that comes against you this one thing, but one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead.

I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. Do you realize everything that Paul had to forget? I’m probably going to do an entire episode on this. But he had to forget all the good and the bad. He had to forget all the things he had done that he carried guilt and shame over. He also had to forget every victory that he did in respect to not forget the victories but forget, meaning. You can’t rely on yesterday’s bread for today. That was a victory then. But guess what? I need a victory today. I probably need a victory tomorrow. So I can’t rely on the glory days. How many people do we know in the movies? They make fun of this all the time. You have people who are constantly wanting to live yesterday, because there was good and yesterday they get hung up on the good things that happened in their life yesterday. You know, it’s the old song What have you done for me lately? You know, we have to understand what’s going on now. God is is thrilled with your obedience of yesterday. But there’s obedience of today that needs to get done, I have to keep my eye on what’s in front of me, I have to look forward, I have to look at what’s ahead at the price that God is calling me to. And that is an eternal price and eternal victory that I make it through this entire life. And I make it to the price I lay hold the price. I’m going to read it again. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the price of the upper call of God in Christ Jesus. Let’s look at Hebrews 12 verses one and two. Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses those who have done it, the witnesses of those who have done it. Let us also lay aside every weight. You know, we talked about they had to cut off the people they had to cut off the wrong influences they had to make sure that they had surrendered their entire lives. lay aside every weight and sin which clings so closely and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God. Do you see the same things in action here? This is a life that has lived the entire the it’s the entire team through to the end that we run with endurance the race that is set before us. And we look to Jesus, we keep our eyes and the price that is set before us, that enables us to make sure that we finish well.

Let’s look at First Corinthians nine verse 24. Do you not know that in a race, all the runners run, but only one receives the prize. So run that you may obtain it. So run that you may obtain it. We have to run this race, keeping winning in mind, not just that you finished a race but that you win the race. Folks, we can get caught up in the running. But we’ve got to win the race. And don’t get your eyes on who’s running beside you. Don’t worry about their race, you run your race, you stay in your lane. Okay. Let’s go to Second Timothy chapter four, verse seven. And I love this because this is Paul at the end of his race. He’s done it. He’s come to the end. He knows he’s about to cross the finish line. And let’s read what he says Second Timothy, chapter four, verse seven, I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race. I have kept the faith. Now, there is in store for me the crown of righteousness which the Lord the righteous judge will award to me on that day, and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. Folks, this is our this is our goal. This is our aim that we come to the end of our race. And we finish well. We we lay hold of the prize. Let’s look at Second Corinthians four verses eight and nine. And I want to encourage you with this because we we can we need to remember that a good beginning does not constitute a good end as we saw in the life of King ASA. Nor does a bad beginning constitute a bad end, as we see in the life of Paul. And it wasn’t because Paul didn’t have things to deal with because he did. Let’s read those Second Corinthians four verses eight and nine. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed. perplexed, but not in despair. persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed.

When you keep your eyes on the prize, the outcomes to these hard pressings to these perplexing search circumstances to the persecution that we feel to being abandoned and struck down the answer to be able to say not crushed, not in despair, not abandoned and not destroyed. To have those is to keep our eye on the prize. To lay hold of those means that I kept my eyes and my trust on Jesus Christ alone. Not on man, not what man can do for me, but in Christ alone. I’m not going to take the time today I’m going to give you some references to look at Paul’s life. In Acts chapter eight verse three, in Acts nine verses one and two, Acts 22 verses three and four, Acts 26 verses nine through 11. And First Corinthians 15 Nine, you can read all of those scriptures and see the hardships that Paul faced. His life was not free from struggle or hardship. But he did not allow those things. He did not allow himself to get stuck in the problem, nor did he allow himself to get stuck in the victory. He continued on. He in fact he went let’s go back to Philippians 313 and 14. He went back to this practice this one thing I do, forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead. I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upper call of God in Christ Jesus. We can know What it is to see victory all the way to the end. I encourage you today, folks, you’ve begun Well, I commend you, you have begun Well, this year, you’re in the word you’re praying you’re studying. God bless you for your efforts. But let’s keep our eyes moving forward. Let’s not let down our guard, let’s not put down our swords, let’s not get comfortable. Let’s finish well, let’s keep our eye on the finish line. Not looking back at the starting line. Let’s keep our eye on the finish line. And we will be victorious. Thank you so much for joining me today.
