DARE THE DAY 

DARE THE DAY: START STRONG TO FINISH WELL AND FINISHING STRONGLY IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD! 

“Know ye not that they which RUN IN A RACE RUN ALL, but one receiveth the prize? So RUN, that ye may OBTAIN. 25 And every man that STRIVETH FOR THE MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, not as UNCERTAINLY; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. 

I learnt early in Christ Jesus pertaining to DOING LIFE and LIVING GODLY in GRACE that if you want to make a difference and be uniquely impactful, and to express the best of the good and goodness that’s available in life through you, then you must come to know and understand these simple phrases to greatness, and that is: 

YOU CAN’T POSSESS WHAT YOU ARE UNWILLING TO PURSUE OR TAKE ON — AND LIFE WILL NOT GIVE TO YOU WHAT YOU ARE UNWILLING TO PUT A DEMAND UPON AND TOWARD IT, IN ORDER FOR IT TO GIVE BACK TO YOU CORRESPONDINGLY AND MORE, IN THE MEASURE OF YOUR SUPPLY TO IT, TO OBTAINING YOUR DEMAND FROM IT. 

It thus means that you cannot expect and demand a SEED of CORN to give you a BUNCH of it, if you don’t put a SEED in the ground to enable you to command, order and ensure a demand for a BUNCH from that seed while it is in the ground — and if you look inward and examine, that’s true to life in all dealings. 

This knowing and understanding is important, otherwise you will be like many who only have and receive on the platform of the general or common good or goodies that are available, whilst making no difference to keep them unique from the crowd as God’s own especially. 

It is upon this context that I have always endeavoured to PURSUE anything with MASTERY in view, no matter how long it takes and what it takes to get there, and to possess my possession of BLESSEDNESS, in life and grace, in Christ Jesus. Amen. 

“Know ye not that they which RUN IN A RACE RUN ALL, but one receiveth the prize? So RUN, that ye may OBTAIN. 25 And every man that STRIVETH FOR THE MASTERY is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, not as UNCERTAINLY; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. 

It’s a gracious DAY with a graceful beginning and another opportunity to triumph that’s before you. You can make good and bring forth goodness in your day without prejudice. I pray that you dare to take any matter up, especially beyond the usual, and end the DAY strong, thereby finishing well in Christ Jesus. Amen. I challenge you to DARE TO TRIUMPH COLOURFULLY IN EVERY PLACE THAT YOUR FEET SHALL TREAD UPON IN LIFE AND GRACE today, tomorrow and always. 

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH IN CHRIST, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14. 

“EVERY PLACE that the SOLE OF YOUR FOOT shall TREAD upon, that have I GIVEN unto you, as I said unto Moses” Joshua 1:3. 

Know and understand full well, for sure and in truth, that there is no MAGIC or MIRACLE with God that bypasses His Word. God will always and only COMMEND what He COMMANDS — which is always of His WILL for us, and that is ALWAYS in His WORD, in His BLESSEDNESS, in Christ Jesus. Amen. Therefore, DARE THE DAY. START STRONG TO FINISH WELL AND FINISH STRONGER IN CHRIST JESUS. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me” Philippians 4:13. 

“Know ye not that they which RUN IN A RACE RUN ALL, but one receiveth the prize? So RUN, that ye may OBTAIN. 25 And every man that STRIVETH FOR THE MASTERY is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; BUT WE AN INCORRUPTIBLE. 26 I therefore so RUN, not as UNCERTAINLY; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. 

“Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH IN CHRIST, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14. 

“EVERY PLACE that the SOLE OF YOUR FOOT shall TREAD upon, that have I GIVEN unto you, as I said unto Moses” Joshua 1:3. 

“But upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE, and there shall be HOLINESS; and the house of Jacob SHALL POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 (Hebrews 12:22-24). 

SUMMARY: 
The message is titled DARE THE DAY: START STRONG TO FINISH WELL AND FINISHING STRONGLY IN CHRIST JESUS! 
It is a prophetic call to excellence rooted in grace. The message teaches that greatness and impact do not happen by accident or by “magic miracles.” God only COMMENDS what He COMMANDS, and that is found in His WORD. Therefore, as believers, we must RUN like people striving for mastery — with discipline, demand, and pursuit. Using the principle of seed and demand, it shows that you cannot possess what you are unwilling to pursue. God has given us every place for our feet to tread Joshua 1:3, and He always causes us to triumph in Christ 2 Corinthians 2:14. The call is to start the day strong, finish well, and finish stronger, colourfully triumphing in every place in life and grace.  

KEY POINTS 

1. THE MINDSET: DARE THE DAY

• “It’s a gracious DAY with a graceful beginning and another opportunity to triumph that’s before you.” 

• Do not drift through the day. Take it up deliberately, go beyond the usual, and end strong in Christ Jesus.

2. THE PRINCIPLE: PURSUIT AND DEMAND

• YOU CAN’T POSSESS WHAT YOU ARE UNWILLING TO PURSUE OR TAKE ON. 

• LIFE WILL NOT GIVE TO YOU WHAT YOU ARE UNWILLING TO PUT A DEMAND UPON. 

• Like a SEED of CORN: you must put a seed in the ground before you can demand a bunch from it. 

• No demand = no supply. No pursuit = no possession. This is true in life, ministry, career and grace.

3. THE STANDARD: RUN FOR MASTERY

• “Know ye not that they which RUN IN A RACE RUN ALL, but one receiveth the prize? So RUN, that ye may OBTAIN” 1 Corinthians 9:24 

• “Every man that STRIVETH FOR THE MASTERY is TEMPERATE in all things” 1 Corinthians 9:25 

• Discipline, subjection of the body, and focus are required. We run not uncertainly, for an INCORRUPTIBLE crown.

4. THE TRUTH: NO SHORTCUTS WITH GOD

• “There is no MAGIC or MIRACLE with God that bypasses His Word. God will always and only COMMEND what He COMMANDS” 

• His COMMAND is His WILL, and it is ALWAYS in His WORD and in His BLESSEDNESS in Christ Jesus.

5. THE PROMISE: TRIUMPH IN EVERY PLACE

• “Now thanks be unto God, which ALWAYS causeth us to TRIUMPH IN CHRIST, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in EVERY PLACE” 2 Corinthians 2:14 

• “EVERY PLACE that the SOLE OF YOUR FOOT shall TREAD upon, that have I GIVEN unto you” Joshua 1:3 

• “Upon MOUNT ZION shall be DELIVERANCE… and the house of Jacob SHALL POSSESS THEIR POSSESSIONS” Obadiah 1:17 

• You are called to DARE TO TRIUMPH COLOURFULLY today, tomorrow and always. 

CALL TO ACTION 

1. START STRONG AND DARE THE DAY 
   Wake up with purpose. Do not settle for the common or general. Take every matter up beyond the usual and determine to finish well. 
2. PURSUE WITH MASTERY AND PUT A DEMAND 
   Identify what God has placed in your hand. Sow the seed — time, skill, prayer, faith. Put a demand on life, on grace, on the Word. Refuse to be like those who only receive common goodies. 
3. RUN WITH DISCIPLINE IN THE WORD 
   Keep your body under. Be temperate. Run to obtain. There are no shortcuts. Only what God COMMANDS in His WORD will He COMMEND and bless.
