*ENDURE HARDNESS*
*Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ" (2 TIMOTHY 2:3).*
As a young man, Winston Churchill was in a heated battle. The war planes were dropping bombs all around the soldiers. Several died but many were running away, hiding and not following commands. One soldier ran past Winston Churchill. The soldier asked if Winston was going to run away. The great soldier replied; "I will not do the cowardly. I will stand at my duty post." He later became his country's hero of the _Second World War_ after leading Britain to victory against the German N***s.
Often times, we are fascinated by the manifestation and the demonstration of power through the ministries of men and women of God without ever thinking of the price they had to pay to be who they are in Christ. To be vessels of honour acceptable to God, is not a child's play. *We must be ready to do away with anything and everything else that is cherished by the world in order to retain the anointing of God upon our lives.*
As good soldiers, athletes and farmers, we must endure affliction and look forward to the crown of life waiting for us at the end of our service.
