The Race

DATE
21st February, 2023

TOPIC
The Race

LIVING SCRIPTURE
Ecclesiastes 9:11 KJV
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.





The practical aim of every race is to bring out a fulfilled goal or an achievable trophy. When a child of God engage in any race or competition physically, it becomes paramount to come out as first and best but such will need quality training and help from the LORD. For a believer who has a winner's mind set, in order to win the physical race or competition, needs the undeserved favor of God that uplifts a man.

The case study this morning brings our focus to Daniel and his friends, (Shadrach, Mishael and Abednego) who were brought to the king's palace in Babylon, where the king desired to have the best counsellors standing at his side. It was a race amongst Babylonian indigenes and the Hebrew brothers and other captives. One thing separated Daniel and his friends from the rest, the leading of the Holy Spirit in their lives and movements and utterance. Indeed the race is not to the swift (those with fast legs or connections) but to as many that obeys the voice of God. Many selected men were well connected to the officials and could easily bribe their way into the number but Daniel and his friends kept focus and refused the king's meat but trust in the LORD.

To win any race in this world we need to put our trust in Jesus Christ and the leading of the Holy Spirit. Your skill is not enough, there are many skillful men out there; your strength is not enough, many strong men out there; neither your sensual wisdom or wealth for easy movements amongst ranks, nor Worldly understanding and thoughts but our total dependence on the Spirit of Christ. 


TO-DO
Meditate on this:
Zechariah 4:6 KJV
Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of hosts.


PRAYER
Heavenly Father I need your grace to run both my physical and spiritual race here on earth in Jesus name.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
