Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
2 Timothy 2: 1-3 KJV
If we want our works to outlive us into the next and many other generations, we must be disciplined. We must be mindful of the fact that our life is not our own but is given to us each day for a purpose.
We must empower ourselves with the tools to finish our race and win the war with life. The Word says we wrestle not against flesh and blood; that the weapon of our warfare is not carnal. Therefore, it is important for us to stay the course, maintain a disciplined mindset ensuring that our purpose is achieved.
As leaders either in our home, church, place of work, community gathering we must not fail to commit unto others that which we have heard from Christ, ensuring that they too are empowered to teach this to others.
We are not to wait for others to tell us to do the right thing, even when others are not there we must be always walk on the path of truth. Let’s try to make our life an example to those in our circle.
Give everybody the respect that they deserve. We should remember that as leaders we live in a glass house, people are looking at us and watching how we live and what we do. They would take their cue from what they see us do and how we do it.
In spite of whatever battle of life we face, we must not let this affect living a right and disciplined life. A life that is a good example and reflection of who God is.
