S ESSION 1 Work the Plan Learn the Discipline of Following Strategy Rev. Dr. Don L. Davis

Soldiers of Christ Win by Working God’s Plan Soldiers win the victory by learning how to use the Lord’s weapons faithfully, skillfully, day by day, repetition after repetition. God has a plan to train us, to use us, to make us effective, but it requires faithful practice, done in the midst of situations where our struggles and challenges are vexing us. We win the day by working the plan, not in miraculous rescues and dramatic shifts. One step at a time, one hill at a time, one battle at a time – that is how we become victorious. • Start small, don’t quit: expect dif fi culty, misery, and tribulation, and be prepared to go through, not around, Gal. 6.7-9. • Bear all things: don’t allow excuses to hide a lack of discipline, 1 Cor. 13.7; 2 Tim. 3.12; Acts 14.22. • Don’t be ashamed to suffer: resistance of the enemy involves struggle which is the key to achievement, 2 Tim. 1.8; James 4.7; 1 Pet. 5.8-9. • Endure all for the sake of God’s people: the more you learn to suffer, the better you learn to serve, 2 Tim. 2.10. • Take courage from Jesus’ example: he endured much for the sake of triumph that awaited him, Heb. 12.1-3; John 16.33; 15.20-21. __________________________________________________________
