Run to obtain an incorruptible crown

 Christians are called to run to obtain an incorruptible crown. This race is not a sprint but it is a marathon one. May we run so well to obtain.

Steps in Christian race

1.   First and foremost there will be a gathering. God draws you to himself.

2.   After the gathering, then the cleansing (salvation). He washes you in the blood of Jesus Christ.

3.   He then brings together closer to himself a selected or chosen few, Matthew 22:14. These chosen few become the favourites of God. These are people who do not come to Him because of what they love God. They are the sanctified set apart for God. Philemon 1:21

4.   Holy Spirit baptism. It is now that you are sanctified that God can trust you with His power. This is because the Holy Spirit is Holy. Acts 1:8

5.   After you receive His power, you begin to speak with new tongues and begin to work for Him. He will then begin to release His gifts to you; 1 cor. 12:7-11. You are to covet the best gift.1 cor. 12:3.

6.   The fruit of the Holy Spirit. If you have the gifts and it is not properly handled, it will end up in destruction. Matt 7:22-23.

7.   Then He will bring you into perfection. Matt 5:48. The word of God is full of doctrine that will lead you to perfection. 2 Tim. 3:16-17

In conclusion, Christians must have these experiences to be able to obtain the doctrine that will lead you to perfection. 2 Tim. 3:16-17.
