Word 1
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor. 9:24-27
• 1 Cor. 9:24-25 To illustrate that, Paul uses some examples from the world of sports. He more often uses examples from the world of sports, because they are very suitable to make a clear comparison with the life of a Christian. Some matters that are at issue with both the sportsman/-woman and the Christian, are:1. the training,2. the competition and3. the prize. To be able to participate in the competition, you first need to train. The more important the competition is, the more intensive the training will be. The ones, who win have their eyes on the prize. The prize also determines the training intensity.

Word 2
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor. 9:24-27
• 1 Cor. 9:26 The unfocused believer looks like a racing cyclist who got disjoined from the platoon and because of that lost his way. He cycles as fast he could to join the platoon again, but in the wrong direction. That is a waste of energy! Like the one who is boxing Paul talks about, who beats in the air. He pulls out to deal a hard blow, but the opponent avoids him nimbly. The blow becomes a wasted effort and the power behind it dissolves in the void without any effect on the opponent. A Christian should be directed on his target and should be conscious of that target. For us, the prize is “Well done, good and faithful servant. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master” (Mat_25:21)

Word 3
Paul's Solutions For The Church At Corinth - Divided, Defiled, & Defamed. || 1 Cor 9:24-27
• 1 Cor. 9:27 There is another thing why Paul is that fully committed to preaching the gospel: he doesn’t want to be disqualified himself, after having preached to others. He would have become disqualified if he would have only preached, without having lived a life accordingly. He didn’t want to be someone who could just tell a nice story with a message for others to sacrifice everything, while he himself lives an easy-going life. Therefore he applies to himself what he just said about the athletes.

Personal Supplication
Father, my goal is to finish my race well and be able to say like Paul that I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful. 2 Tim 4:7
7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, and I have remained faithful.

Daily Covenant Favor Declaration
I decree in the name of Jesus, from this moment forward, I see myself the way God sees me. I am highly favoured of the Lord. I am crowned with glory and honour. I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
I am reigning as a king in life through the one man Jesus Christ

JESUS IS LORD!
