*DAILY IMPARTATION DEVOTIONALS BY PST SAMUEL O. GIDEON*
*WED. 29TH JULY, 2026*
*TOPIC: I'M PRESSING TOWARDS THE MARK*
*TEXT: PHILIPPIANS 3:10-14*
*I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14*.
*Today's topic is so crucial to those who are true followers of Jesus Christ as opposed to merely believing in Him as sent by God without following His principles and precepts that can make us to be more than principalities*
*Note that it is not possible for anyone to press forward in the right direction without really knowing that direction which is Christ Jesus*
*Apostle Paul had known and served the Lord Jesus for many years. However, his yearnings and aspirations were nothing less than knowing the Master, and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering, the aspect that most people don't want to hear or talk about, forgetting that it is only those who suffer with Him that can reign with Him*
*To press forward is not enough, but it has to be towards the prize of serving correctly as we ought to. Understand that prizes from God can come to only those who can bend and stretch themselves for a take-off and up like an aircraft into realms and dimensions in God*
*Understand that to press towards any mark has to be intentional, while counting the cost as there are costs associated with becoming a prize winner*
*THINGS TO NOTE*
*Note that the act of "pressing" requires strength and that it is not meant for lazy people and those in their comfort zone*
*Understand the place of honour and of prize is meant for those who are ready to subject/submit themselves to some levels of discipline, noting that it takes discipline to be a true disciple of Christ*
*DECLARATIONS/ IMPARTATION*
*Heavenly Father, I hereby submit myself to the grace of pressing forward and upward in Jesus precious name, amen*
