The life of a Christian is like a competition but one that does not requires who is first or last.
All that is needed in this competition is that all candidates are able to complete their task.
In the first episode of this topic, apostle Paul made us understand that there was a good fight to be fought, of which he did just that to the glory of God.

Today in the second episode, we will be discussing the other aspect of the Christian's life in Christian.
1Timothy 4:7
"I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race and I have remained faithful".
FINISHING THE RACE
Christianity is not always spiritual and sometimes you must not let your faith violates moral principles.
You must sometimes think from the physical point of view and apply physical remedies to situations.
An athlete uses all his strengths, emotions, passion, experience, skills, attitude and senses to finish a race. All these are physical attributes that an athlete uses to win a race.
As Christians, we must work with our physical strength alongside the spiritual. Whenever the opportunity comes for us to run from or to something, we must not hesitate to do so.
You don't pray when you are supposed to run nor run when you are supposed to pray. There is time for everything and the right thing must be done at the right time.
Sometimes we have to run from temptation and Paul advised us that we should flee fornication.
Also Paul made it clear that a prize lies ahead for those who will be able to finish the race.
Somethings are meant to be finished and like Jesus Christ said on the cross that it is finished, so did Paul also finished his race.
So we must also do our best to finish our race because it is always possibly to finish.
The crown or prize that is in stock in heaven is for those who finish their race.
God bless you for reading but I urge you to run when you have to.
