STRIVE TO OBTAIN AN INCORRUPTIBLE CROWN

TEXT: 1 CORINTHIANS 9: 24-27 

FRIDAY JANUARY 27th 

Key Verse I Corinthians 9: 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.
The Christian life is also likened to a race that the athlete engages himself in so that he may win a prize. As a result, he is disciplined in all things that he may win. We know that not everyone that is involved in the race gets the prize. Only the first to the third persons get the prizes while others miss it and go empty.  This is what made the athlete to be temperate in all things. He ensures his body shape and weight is fit enough to perform. His trainers also give him training, because he wants to win. Paul says I know so well that not everybody that comes into or is called into Christianity or Christian ministry will eventually make it to heaven. Since I know this, I disciplined and worked on myself to ensure I am not dropped or disqualified. 
Note that Satan was the chiefest of the angels; a covering cherub and leading musician that led praise worship in heaven. He blessed heaven with his ministry yet he was cast away because he did not discipline himself; he went into sin and God did not spare him. Who has done greater work for God than Satan except for Jesus who fulfilled the will of God in its totality? If God spared not Satan, then who are you? When God called Moses and said, “Take My people to the Promised Land,” He eventually forbade him from entering the Promised Land because he disobeyed His word. God gave Eli the calling of the high priest and later condemned him because he allowed sin in the temple. As a minister desirous of heaven, check yourself, for he that judges himself shall be judged of no man. I examine myself; how I talk, think, behave and carry out my business transaction. Is the blame coming on me genuine? Did I sincerely fail? Examine yourself because you want to go to heaven; for many are called but few are chosen. I want to ensure that I am among the few that will make it. Many will not make it to heaven. Only those who run well will obtain the crown of life. As a result of this, you need to develop personal spiritual discipline.

Thought for the day Work on yourself so that you be not judged 

Song for the day Satan will never conquer me (3x) when we …

Bible reading for the day: Exodus 13-15; Matthew 19:1-15

Signs And Wonders Should Be According To Biblical Pattern

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...

God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider

God's blessings shall be following you continually for taking the time to study. God’s Extra Effort In Restoring The Backslider  Sunday May 12th Text: Jeremiah 3: 15 – 17 Key verse: Ezekiel 33: 11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel.  Receive the word that will change you, restore you, reestablish you and give you back the hope of eternal life. Come back! The Lord is pleading. Can you see the effort of God in your life? And can you see madness in your life; resisting every effort God is making. God is calling you. Retrace your ways. Follow the good old way. Go and confess those things, do not keep them. Your problem is, you want to serve God but you have not confessed your sins openly because of shame, fear and  pride which shall be dissolved in hell. That is where your problem is. Yes, you wa...
