2 Timothy 2:4 (KJV)
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
A Christian needs to cultivate the attitude of a soldier. Being a soldier implies that at any point in time, you are prepared to be called to duty when the need arises. A soldier is always on guard and stands ready. There is no point where the soldier is relaxing, especially when assigned to the battlefront.
The Bible tells us that we are soldiers in the Lord's army, on duty for our Lord with no time to entangle ourselves with other affairs. We must personify the stance of a warrior, a fighter, a soldier armed with the Word of God to do battle. When a Christian's mentality is absorbed with this sense of duty and call to service, there will be little concern over trivial matters.
When the Christian realizes that he stands on the battlefield in the midst of enemies aiming at him to take his life, he will recalibrate and focus on the essentials: praying always without ceasing, studying and knowing the word of God, not forsaking the gathering of the brethren, and taking service in the house of the Lord very seriously. You are a soldier, a warrior on the battlefield with no time to spare. So keep your focus on the gallantry it requires.
PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I am a fighter; I am armed with the incorruptible word of God that can quench every fiery dart of the enemy. I cannot be defeated as a warrior in Christ's army. I will keep marching forward. Hallelujah!
