An Arm of Flesh would fail you. |
What is the moral behind Lance Edward Armstrong's recent fall in the cycling sports?
As the first three letters of his surname states, "Arm". An Arm of flesh would fail you. Naturally, the human strength is not responsible for 100% success. We need to start trusting in something greater than ourselves. Although he championed a good cause, Lance knew his strength would not give him 100% performance, but rather trusting in God that healed him he relied on an arm of flesh.
Lance Armstrong a professional road racing cyclist had won the Tour de France a record seven consecutive times between 1999 and 2005. However, in 2012 he was disqualified from all his results since August 1998 for using and distributing performance-enhancing drugs and banned from professional cycling for life. A former champion now stripped of his titles and banned from what he loves doing for life.
This was a Man who was diagnosed in October 1996 with testicular cancer that had spread to his brain and lungs. His cancer treatments included brain and testicular surgery and extensive chemotherapy. In February 1997, he was declared cancer-free, and the same year he founded the Lance Armstrong Foundation for cancer support. I wonder what was responsible for his cure. I am sure it is beginning to make sense.
It is not a case of the truth would set you free because Lance never wanted to admit the truth he was doping to perform at a level human strength cannot hold for too long. Not even Oprah could bring out this fact.
Any Man or Woman that relies on an arm of the flesh is one sure to crash badly In the short, medium and long- term. It does not matter what kind of business or trade. An arm of the flesh is sure to fail you.
Lance Edward Armstrong put his confidence on performance enhancing drugs to give him the performance he needed to be the best at all cost. It sure failed him four years later in the long run. He forgot about God who healed him totally. He trusted 100% in drugs and treatment because they once healed him in the past of Cancer. He went for another set of drugs to boast his performance.
Today, God is telling Lance Edward Armstrong: I am the alpha and omega; the balm of Gilead and the highest performer. Trust me a 100% when you seek excellence and highest level of performance in Business, competitive sports or anything you know human strength cannot carry for too long. An arm of flesh would fail you my son, says the Lord. Trust not in the arm of flesh.
A King or Queen is not saved by a powerful army nor a warrior rescued by his immense strength. Don't think that a horse will save you; its formidable strength does not assure victory. Do not think doping will save you, its high rated performance is no guarantee of sustained victory.
An arm of flesh brings about shame, but the arm of God makes a you a permanent victor.

It is only a fool that relies on his strength to save him.
The lord's eyes are on those who truly fear him. He helps them in all fights against cancer.It does not matter what your ambition is, but the only thing that guarantees sustained Success is God. Tough times do not last, but tough people last because God is with them.Trust not in the arm of flesh, but in the arm of God for performance, creativity and excellence. An Arm of Flesh would surely fail all men. It is time to start believing in something greater than you who has made your flesh; spirit man; knows your thoughts and intentions.True Greatness lies not in winning at all cost.
