THE CHOSEN DAILY DEVOTIONAL
DATE: Monday 8th June, 2020.
TOPIC: It Is Not An Easy Road
TEXT: 2Tim. 2:2-6
MESSAGE
Apostle Paul said, "I have fought the good fight of faith" and in 2Tim 2:3, he said, "Thou therefore endure hardness as a good soldier of Jesus Christ." When soldiers return to their countries, the largest aviation goes to the victorious regiments. Encomiums are not for those who fought and ran away. Even the wounded and the Dead are always remembered for their valiance and bravery. John the Baptist although the greatest prophet born of a woman was the lease in God's kingdom (Matt. 11; Luke 7:28) for the Holy Spirit has not been poured out.
Jesus was not pleased with John's faithfulness and he was later beheaded. So it will be with Christians who were too fearful to wrest others from the devil's mouth or stand their ground in fierce battles. Those who fought the most battles and suffered great losses for the LORD will receive the highest honours. It is Very funny when Christians want to run a stress-free race. They call themselves easy-going Christians, no battle in life, no hardship and no burden to carry. Jesus attended the school of conflict, struggling direct attacks and chastening. Our text in verse 6 says, "The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits."
It is so with men, the noblest men are grown amid difficulties and hardships. Beloved, if we must reach the height of blessedness, we must strive to pass through the field of struggle. So if you must go to heaven you must do the work in the world telling sinners about the Saviour. Good morning.
