UNDERSTANDING THE CONCEPT; PRESSING ON.
Pressing on implies more than simply going forward, forging
ahead, progressing, proceeding, advancing, pressing forward,
making headway. Though, they are synonymous in word and
as such we are implying that they really meant much more
than that.
It implies that there is actually something preventing your
advancement and which is of a paramount duty for you to
push towards so as to achieve it.
To fulfil purpose and destiny in life, there is the need for you
to press aside temptations, press through obstacles, press
the doubt and fear under your feet and embrace the divine
qualities of faith, hope and love.
For you to press on there is the need for you to forge ahead
with a steadfastness in God, having a perfect brightness of
hope, a love of God in your heart and that of all men in mind
too.
You see, pressing forward in steadfastness in God simply
means having faith in Him, making Him the central focus of your thoughts and actions.

Pressing on means pushing away the temptations and cares
of the world and keeping the commandments with all
exactness and sincerity.
Our steadfastness in God causes hope to shine smile
graciously before and on us and amidst it all, we find peace
even in the difficulties of life.
Discipleship allows us to see our true purpose on the earth.
Those purposes centre in helping our family, those we love
and those around us. They include building the kingdom of
God and as we do, we become what and who we ought to
become.
Pressing on entails feasting and feeding upon the words of
Christ, ever willing and ready to succumb and obey the
words.
As you righteously press forward, God Himself, who is the
light of the world will guide you through and cause you to
come to full realization of his supreme being even as you
strive and labour to press forward in your faith, the Holy spirit will lead you alright in Jesus name.(AMEN).
