ATTITUDE OF A SOLDIER / WARRIOR
2 Tim 2:3 Take [with me] your share of the hardships {and} suffering [which you are called to endure] as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus.
2 Tim 2:4 No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of [civilian] life; his aim is to satisfy {and} please the one who enlisted him.
The Warrior
• Word translated soldier in verse 3 also denotes; spreading out, taking position, an army, from the camp or base
• So, as ministers of the gospel, we are to live like an army of Christ encamped and ready for war!
• Our attitude should be like that of a soldier, always ready to strike.
• It is also implicated that we are always on duty, always in camp, no off duty!
• Soldier does not entangle himself with civilian issues.
• Our target or aim is to please our Chef!
• We do not seek to be admired by the civilians but please our Boss
• Soldiers seek to please their leader and fulfill the leaders’ vision; they do not have their own!
• We need to follow the vision of God and our leaders!
• One of the problems we have in church today is that everybody wants to issue instructions, very few like to take orders and instructions!
