MODERATION FOR MASTERY
MEMORY VERSE: “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” (1 CORINTHIANS 9:25).
Moderation is the state of being modest; not excessive or going to the extreme in behaviour or expression; observing reasonable limits; while mastery is the authority of a master, possessing or displaying great skills or techniques. The quest for mastery is an encouraging thing as it earns one authority in such pursuit, but in order to excel, moderation is required.

A popular American evangelist was once placed on discipline by His Church because he was caught in a hotel in an amorous affair with a loose lady. He had great musical and preaching gifts, but he could not control his fleshly lust.
The Christian life is a race. To win the crown, one must be temperate in all things. Discipline, commitment to God’s word and faith in all His promises are needed to win the crown.
From our text, Apostle Paul admonishes believers in Christ to run, not as uncertainly, to fight, not as one beating the air. It takes moderation to study hard also. Moderation in all things is therefore necessary if one must gain mastery in any area of life.
QUOTE: It takes moderation to study hard.
CHALLENGE: The Christian life is a race; run to obtain the crown.
PRAYER: Lord, help me to run the race to the end
