RUN TO WIN THE RACE OF LIFE

Read: 1 Corinthians 9:24-27

Meditation verse:

“Do you not know that those who run in a race all run, but one receives the prize? Run in such a way that you may obtain it (1 Corinthians 9:24)

The most essential ingredient that will guarantee your success in life is resilience. Resilience may be defined as ‘the ability to recover from a negative life experience or setback and become stronger while overcoming it’. What differentiates those who adapt, recover, and learn from adversity from those who give up is the concept of resilience. The fundamental difference between winners and losers is how they cope with losing battles in the cause of the ‘war of life’.

Achieving success in life will demand a lot from you. There will be moments when you will feel like throwing in the towel. There is no doubt we are currently facing very difficult times. The world is plagued by disease, insecurity, rising costs, inflation, and all kinds of evil. There is so much despair and uncertainty all around us. These are very difficult and discouraging times. However, this is the time to press forward towards where you desire to be.

Getting to where you desire to be from where you are will not happen overnight, it will require hard work and sacrifice. You will encounter difficulties and failures, but you should not give up. Life is not made up of straight victories, but of mistakes, falls, stumbles, and bruises. Through it all, you dust yourself up and keep moving. See the possibilities before you and visualize the extraordinary. In this new month, be determined to stop making excuses, stop procrastinating and start creating the life you were born to live. You are meant to live and not merely exist. No more sitting down when you ought to be standing tall.

“Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings. He will not stand before unknown men” (Proverbs 22:29).

IN HIS PRESENCE is written by Oke Chinye.
Have you asked Jesus Christ to come into your heart?

He says in Mathew 11:28, “come unto me all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.” He longs to give you rest."

Would you like to do so now? Here’s a prayer you can say:
Dear Jesus, I believe that You died to save me from all my sins. Today, I invite you into my heart and I accept you as my Lord and Saviour. Please forgive all my sins and help me to live my life for You.
