" Has anyone planted a vineyard and not begun to enjoy it? Let him go home , or he may die in battle and someone else enjoy it "
- Deuteronomy 20:6
This chapter is about the Israelite going to war , they are afraid of what will happen on the battle. They do not see things as GOD see's it.
They are afraid to fall or lose it ,
but the question here is .. when you are in the Spiritual Battle or your battle in Life , what are the things that keeps you going ?
For now , i want you to understand that you should know why you are doing something .
Do you love what you're doing ?
are you happy with it ?
or your oblige to do it ?
Serving the LORD is a voluntarily work where in you need to feel the joy because if not you may die in the battle , you might lose .
What should you do to keep going ?
Know what you want
- If you know what you want you will not be exhausted when you do it , because in the first place its the thing that makes you happy .
Enjoy what you are doing - After knowing the things that you want , and you involve in it .. you should enjoy it like its not an obligation , as we serve the LORD we should be able to enjoy the Ministry that we have , and realized that when we involve ourselves in the activities of the LORD its no turning back .
Endure the hardship - there is no things easy , you will always have to make an effort or exert time for it as you keep going you will always experience hardship but the most important thing to do is that you are capable of enduring it .
Keep holding on to GOD's promises - you can't do things without the provision of the LORD as you serve him and as you live a life according to his will , it requires your submissive heart and that you trust him that everything is going to be done the way he planned it .
Achieve Victory
-In every battle that we take there is always sacrifices , pain , happiness and so on .. but the success always go in the end, it may not be good the way you expected it to be but always trust in the LORD , no one trust in him and says that he FAIL . We have a BIG GOD , that fights for us so that we can achieve the victory .
What hinders you to keep Going?
Your way of thinking -no matter how big is your Faith there is always doubt , change the way you think do not be negative .
Lack of Focus -you cannot serve two masters at the same time , if you want things from the LORD then do it , if on other side? I think you need to restore yourself why you even start the Battle for the LORD.
As the verse says above , We should enjoy the things that we planted .
I hope this pointers help the way you keep going for the LORD , Kindly comment for feed backs .
To God Be The Glory.
