What does it take to Win?

When Quarterback Paul Apostle wrote this he was in a Phillippian jail for spreading the Good News that people could have Hope and a Future in Christ. In other words he was on a perceived losing streak. However this is where God gave him Strength, Vision and Freedom for his future and the future of the people in this city. Check out Acts 16 when you have a moment.

Pressing Toward the Prize in This New Year Devotional thought from the messages of Adrian Rogers BIBLE MEDITATION: Philippians 3:14 - "I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT: Do you want to win the prize that Paul talks about? He didn't want to fail. He strained with every inch, every ounce, every nerve, and every part of his body to win the prize. He had ambition. But it was more than just ambition, it was a holy ambition. He said, "I want that prize and I'm going to have it. I'm going to be like an athlete who denies his own body worldly pleasures. I'm going to train like an athlete. I'm going to stay in shape for the Lord Jesus. I'm going to do all that is necessary that I may win." ACTION POINT: Friend, the Bible clearly teaches that we ought to be ambitious, but for the right reason. And that reason is for Jesus. In this new year, may God deliver us from pint-sized ambitions and small-time aspirations.
