OBSTACLES IN THE HEAVENLY RACE MONDAY APRIL 10
TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 3:12-15
Key Verse: “Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus” Hebrews 3:1
God has called us to a high, holy and heavenly calling, so your names have been enrolled in heaven. Considering the total population of about 7 billion humans on earth, are we sure the names in the book of life is up to Five Hundred Million? We are so blessed to have our names are in the book of life. However, the Lord wants to warn you of some obstacles on the way to heaven. 1 Corinthians 9: 24-27. 24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.
What are the things that withdraw people’s names from the Book of life? : (1) Unbelief: When Peter turned his eyes away from Jesus, He began to sink. The Israelite despite great things the Lord did on their way to the promise land they still disbelieve. Hebrews 3: 7-12, 4:1-3; (2) The Flesh – Galatians. 5: 16-21: The flesh is a big and mighty obstacle. If you don’t manage your flesh or body it will remove your name from the book of life; (3) The Word: Be careful with the cares of this world. 2 Timothy 4:10;
(4) Family – Matthew 10: 34 -38 Do not allow the pressure from your family members to stop you from Heaven; (5) Money – 1 Timothy 6: 7-10: Remember Judas sold Jesus with 30 pieces of Silver. Do not love money more than God; (6) Satan – Matthew 4:1-11: Jesus was tempted, but He overcame, so you must also overcome Satan. 1 Peter 5: 7-8. The Lecturer tells you to lie with him so he can pass you in the examination. That is the lie of the devil.
Thought of the day: Lest after I have preached to others I myself should be cast away.
Song of the day: Heavenly race, I no go tire….
Bible reading for the day: 1 Samuel 4-6; Luke 12:35-59

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...
