RUNNING THE RACE

1 Corinthians 9:24 "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it"
We all run a race either we are believer or not. There are different type race run by man which is very known to man and these race are (i)Race of becoming multi-billionaire (ii)Race as to be most successful man and woman while the believer run the race of making heaven and at the end of every race run by man there is a rewards for the selected winner that run the race with their whole strength and do not weary, or do not look at the loosing part nor get distracted with every barrier encounter on their way.
As a believer daily life in Christ is described as a race and we run this race everyday with each day consisting of new challenges, new strategies and new abilities. And as a believer we are been lead by God and we do not just the without making putting God first and this is because, God already provided the path we’re supposed to take, which will be totally free of danger.

Hebrews 12:1"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us"
We have the help the comforter that help us to run this race without entering into temptation, because during the race their are many obstacle on the way which require the help of and with this we should note that we are not in this race alone. The like of People that have run this race in the bible have given us the courage in order to strengthen our faith.The example in the bible are Abraham and Noah which run the race that was set before them with great mindset and with help of God. Their example gives us encouragement.

LOOKING UNTO JESUS
Hebrews 12:2 " fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God"
While we may glance at the crowd of witnesses around us and we may throw off the things that tangle us up, our ultimate encouragement is in the prize that awaits those of us who live by faith:
