1 Corinthians 9:24 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:
Living without a goal is not living at all; for everyone here on earth has something given to them by God to pursue. A new baby depends on his mother for everything, but as soon as he is aware of his environment, the race for independence begins. He will be trying to be like others and to be independent. The race of independence will starts as soon as the baby begins to sit by himself without support. He will want to crawl and then take steps to walk. That is how life is designed to be; we move from glory to glory (2 Corinthians 3:18). Stagnation and living without purpose are not part of God´s plan for His children. So you are not meant to be without a goal; if you are just living without a desire to pursue anything, then you are under a serious bondage.
There is a crown for everyone, but not everyone was able to obtain it due to personal decision. The decision to follow God, who knows how the race will end, and who has the roadmap to our destination, is the best decision any person can make. No matter how fast you move towards the wrong direction, you will never arrive at your destination. Your crown of glory, which is incorruptible, is at the place where God has prepared for you, and the agenda of the devil is to make sure that you miss it.
All eyes are on that glorious crown that God has prepared for you, and that is why the battle is so tense, but if you focus on it, then your enemies will lose their focus.
Hebrews 12:2 (Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God).
When you focus on Jesus, who has called you into the race, Satan will definitely lose his focus because he cannot focus on your God. The light is too bright for him to stare at because he can only operate in darkness.. The only way he can successfully distract you from focusing on the race is to lure you into darkness. Please don´t let him. Distraction is one of the enemies of our race, and that is why our eyes need to be single to be able to focus; you run to obtain, and you don't start running without a destination in mind. God has a crown for everyone; a different crown for each stage. Some have more than one crown; it all depends on how far you can run because for every major milestone, there is a crown to claim. The crowns are in sizes, as we know that our heads are not the same size and shape; so the more glorious your crown is, the bigger your challenges, but God will not allow you to face any challenges that you are not equipped to conquer. Without Jesus in your life, you are running the race to obtain a corruptible crown; for the main race is for the incorruptible crown, and it starts at new birth. Christ died for all so that everyone can obtain this crown, but only those who believed in His crucifixion are entitled to the incorruptible crown. To lay hold of your crown, you need to say yes to Jesus, which is the first step towards the manifestation of your glorious destiny. Friends, make the decision today by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus' name.
Lord Jesus, I repent of my sins and accept You as my Lord and Saviour. I believe you died for me to make me a new man/woman. Forgive me all my sins, wash me with your blood, and give me a new heart. Thank you, Lord, for saving my soul. Now I believe that I am born again. And I am a child of God. Amen!
NENE ISAH,
