We will all have illnesses or injuries in these human bodies, don’t wait for those times to draw closer to Him and spend more time with Jesus.
The time is today, the call for you to draw closer to Jesus is today.
There is nothing in this world like being filled and surrounded by the presence of Jesus

after loss, there is still life and love; after hurt, there is still hope and healing; after pain, there is still peace and purpose; and after chaos, there is comfort and clarity.

Prayer is not so much getting our way as it is aligning to His.
This may not be what you want to hear, but it just is.

Avoid vain repetitions, many words; and a fixed, empty, rote repetition.
Long prayers do not mean more spirituality or more impressive

As children of God, we have the capacity to hear His voice. There will be times when we don’t understand or hear from God. Wait on Him.

God had never intended for us to figure out life on our own.
Humanity needs the revelations from God in order to make sense of what is happening around us.

You can run at your pace and chat with God as and when you feel inspired to.
Do you know what’s better?
It’s ok when you’re digging deep, tackling a steep hill and your words are few, because God hears our heart.

We are designed to worship Him all the way to the finish line by racing to the best of our ability and giving it our all.
In this race of life, we have one shot.
Knowing this, how are you going to run?

In any race we are going to get tired, weary, discouraged, distracted and lost. So, how to we really finish the race?

Being under the mentorship of a strong believer can help build up the new believer, just as how being with a strong runner can help the novice runner run better.

If you want to reign like you were designed to, you’ll have to be disciplined. Those who reign must learn to accept the corrective discipline of God.

Jesus says to forgive seventy times seven times. For forgiveness flows through us, being designed to receive grace and give grace to others.  

God desires us to make time, make room for Him, for communion, for worship, for a willing ear and heart to listen to His agendas.

We must adapt, change, and reevaluate what we are doing to be purposeful in strengthening and developing our relationship with God.

No matter how fast or slow your pace, no matter how far or how short your route, if you run, you are a runner!

5 weeks of C.R.O.S.S (Crucifixion, Resurrection, Obedience, Sacrifice and Salvation) devotions have created a lasting impact on my heart.
They have drawn me in to reflect upon His goodness and it has transformed my walk with God and relationships with friends and family. 

Life on earth is a finite race we are gifted by Him to run. We are exhorted to apply ourselves wholeheartedly to running and finishing well.

Sometimes when runners schedule a ‘Rest day’,  they feel guilty.  Yes, that’s right, but why is this? I suspect it is because…

We are saved by the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Our response to Salvation should be to honour him, in all things, including our health. 

Do you have an addiction? A question we need to ask ourselves is whether we are addicted to this world and the things that come with it?

Do you know your Kingdom assignments here on earth?
You have a unique assignment given to us to be fulfilled in our lifetime. 

When you are born again, you are born anew, into a new life with new purposes and mindsets. Your real race finally starts.

I had combed every corner of this place, the trails along the creek, the long winding loops that gracefully lace the perimeter of the park; I had even explored some of the newer trails on the far side of the river, so I was surprised when the Lord led me to take this trail.
It was one I surely passed hundreds of times before, but it had been kept hidden from my notice.

Taking a slower speed to navigate the challenges and complete the race is not a sign of weakness or retreat;
Giving up is. 

Allow God to do a surgery in our hearts, transforming our lives, then our ‘deaths’ will bring life to many more around us.
We were never meant to run alone or finish the race as a lone runner.

we will encounter failures at times in our running and other areas of our life.
It is at such times the ‘enemy’ will gloat over us, but let’s put it all in perspective – We may have had a bad day, but a bad day doesn’t make a bad life!
Remember that there is forgiveness with God and there is no failure that will ever separate us from God’s love.

I have learned much from my years of racing since 2015, not forgetting the various injuries that I have suffered and the pain that goes with it.
I often ask this question – God, will I be able to run normally again?

Joy is a fruit of the spirit. It can’t be faked, and it is not dependent on the circumstances you face.
It has to be cultivated, and it is bore out of an intimate relationship with Christ.

To achieve one’s dream target race timing, the intuitive thing to do is to train and run faster. Is that a wise strategy to adopt? 

Rules and rituals are there for a reason, but it is never to replace the need to love one another.
Religion, apart from loving people, is not only pointless – it displeases the Lord.
Ultimately, it has to do with the motives of our hearts – why we do what we do.

What are you reflecting? What do your actions or inactions reflect to others? Are you deflecting others from getting to know the King? Be it running or going about your daily activities – Have you been reflecting the One who created you?  

What is a crisis to you? How do you cope with one? The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has turned out to one of the biggest crisis faced in the history of humankind. The last time the earth was so impacted globally was when God sent the great flood and allowed Noah and his family to survive.
