There is a finishing line that must be crossed for the believer to receive the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Unlike the earthly, the heavenly race is not a competition, therefore everyone that crosses the finishing line wins the race. Runners in the heavenly race encounter a lot of hindrances and distracting circumstances occasioned by the devil. Be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might.

Faith makes the believer bigger that their actual appearance. All that you need to do exploits in the kingdom of God is faith as small as a mustard seed. Every believer has this size of faith but unfortunately many are not aware of this fact. When his disciples asked the Lord to increase their faith, he told them all they needed was faith as small as a mustard seed - Luke 17:6.

If you are living one foot in the Church and one foot in the world, you are actually living both feet in the world because you cannot serve God and mammon. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of devils - 1 Corinthians 10:21. God hates adultery, therefore whosoever will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

God's will for everyone is that they get saved and make it through to heaven. Unfortunately Satan is deceiving many people to reject the offer of salvation by grace through faith and remain in their sins. Even those who eventually get saved are hindered by the devil and therefore unable to sustain their salvation experience. Believers are always faced with the temptation to give up the faith.

Sentence is the punishment assigned to a defendant found guilty by a court, or fixed by law for a particular offence. A deferred sentence is a sentence that is suspended until after a defendant has completed a period of probation. If the defendant fulfills the stipulations surrounding probation, a judge may then throw out the sentence and guilty plea, clearing the incident from their record.
