Race for an Imperishable crown.

-

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 Amount of efforts we put into something is motivated by the reward we're gonna get by the completion of the work. People almost give one third of their day to the company which they work to fulfill their daily needs where they're rewarded with the remuneration. In seeking the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, our efforts are always rewarded. Faith enables us to Run the race which is set before us even when we cannot perceive the great things God has kept in the duration of our journey as it is written in Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. We all are adopted in a living hope and we ought to run the race which is set before us with a burning zeal and passion which is fueled by Faith. And everyone who competes for the prize is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a perishable crown, but we for an imperishable crown. (1 Corinthians 9:25). Now we already have the evidence for the reward which we cannot see as faith is the evidence of things not seen. Everything that we need on this earth is already been given to us and it's placed on the race track on which we need to complete this spiritual race. If we're not striving for the crown and if we're not running the race, then how we're gonna receive the things which God has kept for us? It's high time for us to understand what Jesus said in Matthew 6:33 "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." It means that in the pursuit of seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness, we're gonna get everything that we need to sustain in this life while running the race.

Prayer:

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for providing everything that we need and placing them in the course of the race which is set before us that we may enjoy every blessing in your right time.
In the name of Jesus'
Amen.

Sunday, 8th October, 2017 Speaker : Pst. Manoj Arunkumar Summarization : Shruti Vanjare THE SUPERNATURAL MIRACLES OF JESUS CHRIST.  Jesus turning water into wine “I will turn your emptiness into fullness of Joy.”-Jesus.  John 2:1-12 On the third day, there was a wedding in Cana (Tuesday) When we go back to Genesis 1:9, the third day was the only place where God said “It is Good” twice. The marriage of Cana was conducted on the third day because it was a ‘good day.’ Cana of Galilee was the hometown of Jesus Christ and He and his family we're invited to the wedding. Jesus came to the wedding after defeating the devil in the wilderness as the Son of God. If you know the Word, you can defeat the devil. The marriage of Cana signifies turning your failures into blessing. There's a shortage of wine amidst the excitement of the marriage and there's a huge ceremony going on. According to the Jewish customs, wine symbolizes joy and happiness. The mother of Jesus

Daily word ‌4th October 2017 - Himalay Sharma Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it. -Mark 10:15 Qualities of a little child 1) Submissive and dependent. A little child is submissive and dependent on his father for his daily needs. With a stubborn heart he keeps on asking his father for the things he want yet he is too innocent to trust the world and to let go off Daddy's finger. He keeps holding his father's hand wherever he goes because he trusts his Father's protection much more than his own sense of direction. If we address our God as "Father", then its important for us to behave like His children. In John 13:33 Jesus calls his disciples as Little children, not just children but little Children. Because little Children are not at all confident about their will and plans but their Confidence is in the Father's Will and Plan. 2) Obedience without Questioning. A child

Daily Word 6th October 2017 - Victor Mendonca He(Jesus) said to them, "But who do you say that I am?" -Matthew 16:15 Jesus didn't ask the disciples this question because he had an identity crisis. Nor did Jesus forgot who he was. He asked the disciples this question because he wanted them to discover the revelation of who he actually is. From the very beginning of the world, God has always been a revealer of his great plans, love, grace, mercy, compassion, provision, protection etc. God reveals Himself in the Old Testament: - Abraham got a revelation of God as Jehovah Jireh - God who provides in Genesis 22:13-14 - Exodus 3:2-8 Moses got a revelation of God as the deliverer at the burning bush, which was later fulfilled in Exodus 12:41-42 - Elijah got a revelation of God who answers by Fire in 1 Kings 18:24. God didn't put Elijah to shame in front of the prophets of Baal. - David the shepherd boy in his younger days got a revelation of God as His
