OBSTACLES IN THE HEAVENLY RACE

FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD REMAIN BLESSED.

OBSTACLES IN THE HEAVENLY RACE  
MAY Monday 10th
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 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 should be a castaway. 
What are the things that remove people’s names from the Book of life? : 
(1) Unbelief: Peter began to sink when he looked away from Jesus. Israelites disbelieved God despite the wonders He did on their way to Canaan. 
(2) The Flesh: The flesh is a big 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.
(4) Family: Do not allow the pressure from your family members to stop you from Heaven 
(5) Money: Remember Judas sold Jesus for 30 pieces of Silver. Do not love money more than God; 
(6) Satan: Jesus was tempted but He overcame. You must also overcome Satan  
Thought of the day: Lest after preaching to others I should be cast away. 
Song of the day: Heavenly race, I no go tired….      
Bible reading for the day: 
1 Kings 21-22; John 3:1-21

HOLINESS REVIVAL MOVEMENT WORLDWIDE Daily Devotional EVERY WORD OF GOD FOR DAILY LIVING  _BY_ *PASTOR PAUL RIKA*  Int'l Director        (Holiness Revival Movement Worldwide) THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1 , 2018  _TOPIC:_    *YOU WILL SUCCEED AS CHRIST DID BY PRAYER*           TEXT: John 16: 23-24. KEY VERSE: It came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, one of His disciples said, Lord, teach us how to pray as John taught his disciples. Luke 11: 1. When Jesus Christ came to us in the flesh, He went into the business of prayer because He was promoting the attribute of God as a prayer-answering God. He would not render that attribute idle or redundant. Nobody knew how John did it, but Jesus reveals here that the success you saw in the ministry of John the Baptist, the victory you saw in his ministry, is because he was a prayer man. John so much valued prayer. He saw the essentials of pr...
