BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Chronicles 1:1-2:17; Acts 23:11-35; Psalm 31:1-8; Proverbs 18:14-15.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Philippians 3:10-16 (KJV)
10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.
16 Nevertheless, whereto we have already attained, let us walk by the same rule, let us mind the same thing.
MEMORY VERSE: “Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.” – 1 Corinthians 9:24 (KJV)
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES:
Tough times never last, but tough people do.
PRAISE AND WORSHIP:
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
You will not fail, fall, or falter as you continue the race, in the name of Jesus.
MFM Devotional For Today 2025 MESSAGE:
Apostle Paul is a perfect example of a Christian who had an unbroken focus and was devoted to achieving great progress daily in his divine assignment. He refused to rest on his oars. Rounding it off, he asserted, “I press toward the mark.” He responds to a still higher calling, an unending pilgrimage of faith and service. Every believer should realize that there is a race to run or, better still, that he is in a race.

In every athletic competition, there is a starting line as well as a finish line. The athlete stays on the track looking towards the finish line. The set target of every such race determines the winner—the champion! In every race, there is a prize, a medal, or a plaque, which is a symbol of having run the race and won. Losers have no right to such prizes. Apostle Paul compares every Christian to an athlete running with a view of winning the prize. Our prize is that of “the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” This is the ultimate—the finish line! However, as a child of God, you must realize that the race is not done by power or by might, but by the help of the Lord. The ultimate goal is not to outrun others, but to finish well and strong. Many started the Christian race but did not finish it. I pray that this will not be your portion, in Jesus’ name. Be determined and remain focused. Run with the hope of winning the race and not with uncertainty (1 Corinthians 9:26). The Holy Spirit is the umpire. The Lord Jesus Christ waits at the finish line with His arms wide open to take us into the kingdom of His Father.
Succinctly put, it is very important and necessary that you heed these signposts: First, know that you are running the race alone. Second, you have to forget the past achievements and face this race. Third, you cannot win this race by your strength; you need the Holy Spirit every moment of the way (Ecclesiastes 9:11). Finally, the race involves a great deal of perseverance to the end. Quitters do not win, and winners do not quit. Beloved, I pray for you that you will finish well, in Jesus’ name.
