March 21 | Daily Devotion | Disciplining Our Body Is Very Important To Run The Christian Race
Summary
Zac Poonen teaches that disciplining the body is essential for running the Christian race successfully, drawing on 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. Using the example of Olympic athletes who practice self-control in eating, sleeping, and training, he emphasizes that believers must similarly discipline their bodies in three key areas—food, sleep, and sexuality—to avoid disqualification at the end. He illustrates practical discipline through fasting, which breaks slavery to food, builds compassion for the hungry, and strengthens spiritual authority, citing Jesus and the early church as models of balanced discipline.

The sermon emphasizes the critical importance of self-discipline, particularly regarding the body, to successfully complete the Christian race. Drawing parallels to Olympic athletes, the speaker stresses that discipline in eating, sleeping, and sexuality is necessary to avoid disqualification at the end. He encourages believers to discipline their bodies to serve God's will rather than their desires, using fasting as a practical example of this discipline.
