Endurance

2 Timothy 2:3 states, Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.

The word endure means to undergo hardship and to suffer trouble. As a soldier of Jesus you will undergo hardship but you must be willing to endure.  Endure doesn't mean to stay in it but to bear long in order to go through it.

God has an army and one of the things we must realize is as a soldier we must not entangle ourselves with the affairs of this life, carnality and flesh.  These will weigh you down. The only way to please God is to maintain your walk with God free from all that would hinder and keep you from reaching your potential in God.

Be determined to be a good soldier by adhering to the word, keeping yourself free from the cares of this life and pleasing the Lord in your manner of living.  Christ will strengthen in your walk as you continue to submit to His will.

Be bless in the name of the Lord,

Apostle Deborah
