The Race

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.

The Narrow Path

DATE : September 12, 2021 TOPIC : The Narrow Path BIBLE TEXT: Matthew 7v13&14 – Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in there at: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. The road to eternity is a narrow path, with a single choice. There are no alternatives into eternity. It is either you walk through the narrow way into heaven or you follow the broad path that leads men (souls) to hell fire. God sent His only Son to die for mankind, creating the way, the truth and the life, to all who believe in Christ Jesus. It is either you make a choice to follow Jesus or you walk straight into hell. Many are searching for this path in the wrong direction, places, traditions, customs, beliefs and religions but cannot find it there. Only those that hear about the Kingdom of Heaven coming soon and believe in Jesus Christ shal...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...
