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.

Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All

God's blessing shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Them That Sin, Rebuke Before All   Monday 24th March Text: 1 Timothy 5: 19-22 Key verse: Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear. 1 Timothy 5:20 God wants you to avoid doing evil while saying you want to go to heaven. You may be a member of a worldly church and be saying, “It is my tribal church; if I leave them, they will be angry. I do not want them to be angry.” Is it God you want to make angry by your compromise? You will see the anger of God indeed. It is through the word that you perfect the people, and as a result, the Bible says, “Thou shalt not suffer sin upon your brother. Thou shall reprove him.” Your brother or sister has done a bad thing, and you do not bother. You leave them in their sins. They may do the same to other people. The Lord says, “Correct them.” Do not allow sin to be in them because sin will take them to hell. The Bible says, “Them that sin, rebuke befo...

For taking your time to study remain blessed. FACTS TO BE UNDERSTOOD ON REVELATION MESSAGES WEDNESDAY JANUARY 11 TEXT: NUMBERS 12: 4-8. Key verse: "To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them" Isaiah 8:20. God has given revelations to many in our days and He is still in the business of doing that. The choice of these messengers is His sovereign will.

They follow the pattern of scriptural revelations in the Holy Bible. Some are given in plain, simple and direct language, while some are given in pictorial language and figures of speech. The recipient of the revelation may be an ignorant person whose understanding is unfruitful, hence, he may not be capable to interpret the revelation received. Except God gives the grace of interpretation to ...
