Lets Continue To Run This Race.......

Remember that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets 
the prize.  You also must run in such a way that you will win. All athletes practice strict self-control.  They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run straight to the goal with purpose in every step.  I am not like a boxer who misses his punches. I discipline my body like an athlete, training it to do what it should. Otherwise, I fear that after preaching to others I myself might bed  disqualified.  1 Corinthians 9:24-27

In order to win a race you must first be disciplined and you must have a purpose, and that purpose is to finish victoriously.

How do you come in first in your race?

With strict training, self-control, discipline, trust and faith!


In 1 Corinthians 9:24-27, Paul is teaching us that in order to walk with the Lord you must deny yourself, work hard and prepare for the victory even harder.  As children of the Most High God, we should work towards a heavenly reward, which is meeting and living eternally with Jesus Christ.

Rewards here on earth have no comparison to an eternal life in heaven!


Paul says that we we should discipline ourselves with prayer, studying the bible, worshiping and also serving and carrying out the plans that God has for our life.

By doing this, we can run our race with intensity, endurance, perseverance, hope and faith, using resistance against the enemy as he nips at our heels, attempting to trip us during our race.

So, it is up to us to train hard and eat right (letting the word be your daily bread), stay alert and in top shape (talking to God daily through prayer) and training hard and exercise (walking in your purpose according to God's plan for your life).

These things are what allows us to reach the finish line with success and enter into the Kingdom of Heaven with joy!

John 6:47-51
"I assure you, anyone who believes in me already has eternal life.  Yes, I am the bread of life!  Your ancestors ate manna in the wilderness, but they all died. However, the bread from heaven gives eternal life to everyone who eats it.  I am the living bread that came down out of heaven.  Anyone, who eats this bread will live forever; this bread is my flesh, offered so the world may live."
Philippians 4:6
Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.  Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.
Jeremiah 29:11
For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord. "They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."

How are you running your race?
