RUNNING THE CHRISTIAN RACE TO WIN THE PRIZE TUESDAY APRIL 11 TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 9:23- 27 Key verse: “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain” 1 Corinthians 9: 24 There are many races in this life, but we want to consider here, the heavenly race to the kingdom of God. Paul was running the race to be a partaker of the prize allocated to those who win and obtain eternal life. There must be a clear vision and a defined destination in your heart as you run this race. Without the vision of heaven in the heart, one cannot follow or obey the rules guiding the race. When you run without vision, you stumble. Where there is no definite destination, such a person fights as one beating the air. Therefore, if you must succeed then focus on these things: (a) Run the race with the mind that you will succeed. It is the Father’s good will to give you the kingdom. (b) Take precautions because of possibility of the devil on the way. Always check up to know what others do which you are not doing well. What others have done well before and now they are in heaven. Avoid the mistakes of those that fell by the wayside. (c) Run with the positive mind that you will make heaven. If you fall, rise up again and continue. 1 Corinthians. 9: 24 – 25. (d) Employ Temperance – 1 Corinthians. 9: 25; 2 Timothy 2: 3 -5 Faithfully endure hardship in your walk with God. Philippians 3:7, 13 – 14. Learn to endure. (e) Forbear: Although it is not convenient for you but forbear and you will make it to heaven. (f) Be Humble: Matthew. 18: 4 – Humbleness will enable you to serve even little ones. (g) Be Patience: Proverbs 6: 6 - 9 – Learn from the patience of the ant. (h) Be determined to make it to heaven. 1 Corinthians. 9:26-27. Thought of the day: Do not run your Christian life without a direction or standard. Song of the day: I am running a race to meet my Redeemer. Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 7-9; Luke 13:1-21 #horemow.

For taking your time to study remain blessed. August Tuesday 27th TOPIC: CORRECT WATER BAPTISM TEXT: Mark 16:15-16 KEY VERSE: Matthew 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. The believer requires water baptism. The baptism that Jesus commanded is in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is done by immersion in water because the three Persons are One. In Acts of the Apostles, the people were baptizing in the name of Jesus. They used the phrase “in the name of Jesus” to indicate that the baptism was carried out as authorized by Jesus, and the baptism authorized by Jesus is that which is done in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. It is not to say that they dip people in water and say, “I baptize you in the name of Jesus.” The name of Jesus cannot represent the Godhead. The Father is not Jesus, the Holy Spirit is not Jesus, Jesus is God who be

For taking your time to study remain blessed. April Monday 27th TOPIC: TESTIMONY OF RESTITUTION OF FALSIFIED RECORDS by Sis Bosede Ogwurike TEXT: 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 KEY VERSE: Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. After accepting the Lord Jesus as my Lord and personal Saviour as a young girl I so much enjoyed the Lord, but at a particular time in my life I entangled myself with so many sins: fornication, abortions, misconduct in two of my undergraduate examination papers, falsification of age, falsification of results in my undergraduate research project and other sins that later required restitution. This created a big vacuum in my life. I no longer enjoyed the presence of God as before and sometimes when I prayed for restoration and revival, I would hear a voice clearly in my spirit saying, “Go and report yourself.” This I did not
