Summary: <br> <p class="MsoNoSpacing"><b><i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">2 Timothy<br> 4:9-11 “Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: </span></i></b><b><i><sup><span style="font-size: 14pt;">10 </span></sup></i></b><b><i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">For Demas hath forsaken me,<br> having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to<br> Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia.</span></i></b><strong><em><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span></em></strong><b><i><sup><span style="font-size: 14pt;">11 </span></sup></i></b><b><i><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Only Luke is with me. Take<br> Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry</span></i></b><strong><em><span style="font-size: 14pt;">”.</span></em></strong><span style="font-size: 14pt;"> Every<br> time we serve God, it is a sign that we have been liberated and freed from<br> pharaoh. Testimonies are pointer of Gods acts in our midst. One of the<br> challenges of Christianity is the transition of being a bond servant to a free<br> man in Christ. The only way we can walk in freedom that we have in Christ Jesus<br> is to see ourselves in line with what the word says. <b><i>2 Corinthians 5:1 “<span style="background: #FFFFFF;">Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new<br> creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new</span>”.</i></b><br> What your natural body tells you is not who you are. Who you are is what God<br> says you are. The apostle Paul was the greatest apostle ever and in his<br> greatness, he walked a life of loneliness. One of the hallmarks of leadership<br> is that you have to learn to walk the paths of loneliness. The most lonely<br> people on earth are great and good leaders. Loneliness is part of the package<br> and people will forsake you on your walk to greatness. One of the things people<br> are not able to deal with is to transition from being left by a dear friend or<br> a loving friend, to the transition of being free in Christ Jesus. If you are<br> not careful, your past can imprison your future. <b><i><a href="https://www.google.co.uk/search?espv=2&biw=1366&bih=599&q=ecclesiastes+7:9&spell=1&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjhrb66z7bNAhWkB8AKHVFCD6UQvwUIGSgA"><span style="color: #000000; background: #FFFFFF; text-decoration: none;">Ecclesiastes</span></a> 7:8 “<span style="background: #FFFFFF;">Better is the end of a thing than the beginning<br> thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit</span>”.</i></b><br> In life it is not how you start but how you finish. No one is rewarded on a<br> race on how they started. They are rewarded on how they finish meaning, our<br> finish is more important than how we started. <strong><em></em></strong></span></p><p><strong><em></em></strong></p><strong><em></em></strong>
