You have a race to run!!
Isaiah 43:1
…..I have called you by name. You are mine.
“You have a race to run” means each of us has a special mission here on earth.
Like the verse above says we are God’s special property redeemed by the precious blood of Jesus. Furthermore, He created each of us ( ..I have called you by name you are mine)
Scripture also says in Matthew 5:16 that
Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Meaning, our mission here is not only to live and enjoy our lives but we are also expected to glorify or lift up the name of God through
– Acts of kindness
– And showing concern for one another especially the poor, needy and deprived in society.
Matthew 28:19-20
Ho to all nations….for lo I am with you always till the end of this age.
This passage from the new testament gives us an additional scenario of our mission here on earth as children of God and Christians
We are to preach the word and win souls for the kingdom of God, this is the race we have to run. But before we can fulfill this mission we have to accept the gift of salvation or give our lives to Christ ( Romans 10:9-10)
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Trust in God and do what is right
Song for meditation

Donne moi la puissance de rester fidele
