  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. 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. And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. The husbandman that laboreth must be first partaker of the fruits. Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.

  Remember that Jesus Christ of the seed of David was raised from the dead according to my gospel: Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound. Therefore I endure all things for the elect's sake, that they may also obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory. It is a faithful saying: For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him: if we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us: if we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself (II Timothy 2:1-13 KJV).

  We should not get involved with vain-wordly things, but live our lives according to the gospel of Jesus Christ. The husbandman (farmer) should be the first one to partake, whether the outcome is good or bad. That means as leaders we have the responsibility of whatever God has put us over to make sure it is going well. We are to be good examples to those working together under us. WE NEED TO BE FOUND FAITHFUL, PRAYERFUL, AND UNDERSTANDING, that we may obtain the prize, which is eternal glory!
