The Heavenly Race: The Future Belongs to the Finisher

The late renowned author Mark Twain said, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.” People from all walks of life and in every world region at some point look inwardly and ask, “Is there more to my life than this? Can I truly make a significant difference?”

Once we have come to Christ, repenting of our sins, He places us in a heavenly race. We are not in the heavenly race in order to be saved; it was salvation that qualified us to be in the race. We are not running in this race so we can go to heaven. Our Lord has drafted us into this race to fulfill why we were born before our life comes to a close.

In The Heavenly Race: The Future Belongs to the Finisher, you will learn firsthand how to find, follow, and finish the will of God. Dr. Timothy Hill, General Overseer of the Church of God, and Dr. James O. Davis, Founder/President of the Global Church Network, have synergized their wisdom and writing to bring to you a masterful, thought-through ministry leadership book that will save you countless years, wasted money, and lost time.

When it comes to finding, you will come to know your God-given, divine call for impacting this generation. You will move from being a wondering generality to a definite specific. Your course will be clear, and your ministry career will be successful.

When it comes to following, you will learn the quintessential commitments required to getting into this heavenly race and staying in it until you are standing in the Christian’s winning circle. You will find that The Heavenly Race will be a training guide that you will refer to time and time again, throughout the seasons of your life.

After you have understood the finding and undertook the following, you will be prepared to break the tape, finishing successfully. The future belongs to the finisher! When we begin with the finish in mind, our focus is on the future and what and how it will take to achieve the goals the Lord has placed in our hearts.

Finding is about our calling. Following is about commitment and continuation. Finishing is about our completion. Finishing is not about dying and taking our rightful place in the grandstand of Glory. It is about finishing God’s will and then joining the heavenly hosts of saints of past, present, and future. This is what The Heavenly Race brings into precise perspective for us.

Your ministry will be deeper, your thoughts clearer, and your faith stronger.

I am honored to pen this foreword and to recommend The Heavenly Race: The Future Belongs to the Finisher to you. You are challenged to find, follow, and finish God’s will for your life!
