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

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern Text: Mark 16: 17 – 20 Wednesday May 8th Key verse: Obadiah 17 “Upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.” God has prepared to direct us on holy service unto Himself. He tells us when the lives and services of people are corrupt because from the heart of men proceed the works they do. When people are righteous and holy, their service is also righteous and holy. Hence, the word says, make the people holy then their service will be holy, so if you accept to live a life of holiness, then the fruit of your service will be holy. So, it is very important to accept the life of holiness because the God that made you is holy; He will give you grace to be holy. You just make up your mind to be holy. Do not accept that no man can be holy; then Jesus came for nothing, Jes...
