Message

Fauja Singh, is believed to be the oldest man to have completed a full marathon. He did it at the age of 100 years. He was able to endure till the end of the marathon, despite the challenges faced due to his age and certain distractions like the younger and faster people. Our journey as Christians is a marathon, and on this journey, trials, temptations, distractions and persecutions will be encountered, but like Fauja Singh, we should set our sights on the finish line and endure till the end.

Studying of the Bible and praying will help in discouragement, when we feel like quitting. The Bible is a necessary tool for preparation on the Christian marathon. The believers who endure till the end will have a reward. After finishing his course well, Apostle Paul said, “Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness” (2 Timothy 4:7-8). Christians should always strive to finish the marathon strong. Do not give up due to challenges. Remember, the Holy Ghost is in you, strengthening you with this scripture and other means. Winners always endure.
