Today's Focus: Don't RUN the RACE of life alone!
Many genuine Christians do not know we in Christ are RUNNING an individual RACE from Earth to Heaven in this World, which we are expected to patiently RUN looking unto Jesus Christ, who is the Author and Finisher of our faith and who is our ultimate spiritual Role Model for living victoriously and successfully on the Earth, God's own way. (Hebrews 12:1-4).
While the above is true, know and note that God did not designed we humans, especially we His Children in Christ in this World to RUN the RACE of life alone. True!
The Bible reveals that it is not by might, nor by power, but by My SPIRIT said the Lord of hosts. (Zechariah 4:6).
Jesus Christ said, I will not leave you comfortless, I will pray the Father to send to you another Comforter, the SPIRIT of truth. This He has accompanied and made possible after His resurrection for anyone, who genuinely believes and receive Him as his or her personal Lord and Saviour in this World, including you and I. True! (John 14:15-18).
Again as I have written above, God has never designed you and I to RUN the RACE of life alone, but to run with the help of His SPIRIT within us permanently and upon us par time par our situation. True!
There is a popular nugget I read often on the social media that says, if you RUN alone, it is called RACE and if you RUN with GOD it is called GRACE. True!
The Bible reveals to us that by strength will NO MAN prevail in this World. Never! (1 Samuel 2:9).
Therefore, the Bible counsels saying that the RACE is not to the SWIFT, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, not yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill, but TIME and CHANCE happens to them all. (Ecclesiastes 9:11).
Let me announce a good news to you, who is a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World that TIME and CHANCE that beautifies your life in Christ is in the total control of your heavenly Father, the Designer and Creator of the Heaven and Earth. The Bible says, He had made EVERYTHING BEAUTIFUL in His TIME. So shall be for you in Jesus name. Halleluyah! (Ecclesiastes 3:1-11; Psalm 90).
Now, sadly to write, it has not yet enter into the hearts of so many genuine Child of God in Christ in this World that we are not to RUN the RACE on Earth alone, but rather with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT of God that is within us. So unfortunate. (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).
Many genuine Christians are not aware that RUNNING the RACE of life alone is to live by SIGHT. But RUNNING the RACE of life with God (by the Holy Spirit) is to live by FAITH. That is, to live by hearing, believing and obeying the Word of God par time. Remember, we in Christ in this World live or walk not by sight, but by faith. True! (2 Corinthians 5:7; 2 Corinthians 8:18).
The Bible reveals clearly that it is FAITH, so that it can be GRACE (by the help of the Holy Spirit of God). Therefore, it says the just (the justified in Christ) shall live by FAITH. True!
Taking it further, the Bible reveals that only those who are LED by the SPIRIT of GOD are the SONS (and DAUGHTERS) of God and that they are the ones living in Christ in this World not by the Law, but by GRACE (by the help of the Holy Spirit of Christ that is within them). (Romans 4:16; Hebrews 10:38; Romans 8:14; Galatians, 5:18).
Are you one of them?
Apostle Paul said I CAN do ALL things, not because he is trusting on his human wisdom and power, but he is trust on the divine Wisdom and Power by the Holy Spirit living within him. He said I can do all things through CHRIST, which strengthens me. Only the Holy Spirit in you knows and can do all things in you and through you in his World. Only the Holy Spirit can teach, pray, reveal, encourage and lead (vis-à-vis help) you from within you into all things that God, the Father, has ordained in Christ for you in this World. Only the HOLY SPIRIT can,! True! (Philippians 4:13; Philippians 1:19; 1 John 2:27; 1 Corinthians 2:9-16; Ephesians 2:5-10).
Can you say the same?
Think about it and do something about it now, if you are not, because as a genuine Child of God in Christ in this World, you put yourself at a disadvantage and shortchange yourself, if you RUN your RACE in Christ from Earth to Heaven in this World alone, instead of running with the HELP of the HOLY SPIRIT of Christ that is within you. True!
One thing is sure, the Holy Spirit will always lead you alright into VICTORY and divine spiritual and physical PROVISIONS for your life in Christ in this World. True! (1 John 4:4,5; Ephesians 2:3-7).
Today's Focus from Scripture:
But as it is written, EYE has not seen, nor EAR heard, neither have entered into the HEART of man, the things which God has prepared for them that LOVE Him. But God has REVEALED them unto us by His SPIRIT: for the Spirit searches all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knows the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? Even so the things of God knows no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have RECEIVED, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God; that we might KNOW the things that are freely given to us of God. (1 Corinthians 2:9-12; John 16:13-16; 1 John 2:27).
Take note, take heed!
Prayer Direction: According to today's revealed truth, pray as you are led by the Spirit of God.
