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.

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
