THAT THOU FULFIL IT

A Fellow Soldier in the Work of God

ANCHOR SCRIPTURE

Colossians 4:17 (KJV) “And say to Archippus, Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.”

1. YOU HAVE AN ASSIGNMENT

God has entrusted something to you—a ministry, gift, responsibility or purpose.

Don't despise what God has placed in your hands.

2. TAKE HEED

Paul said, “Take heed.”

Pay attention to your assignment. Don't allow:

* Distraction
* Laziness
* Fear
* Offence
* Discouragement

to make you abandon it.

Guard what God has entrusted to you.

3. BE A GOOD SOLDIER

You are a fellow soldier in God's work.

2 Timothy 2:3 (KJV) “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”

A good soldier shows:

Discipline Commitment Obedience
Endurance

Don't quit because the assignment becomes difficult.

4. DON'T JUST START—FINISH

Paul said:

2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV) “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith.”

God is not only interested in how you start, but how you finish.

Start with faith. Serve with diligence. Finish with faithfulness.

2. Take it seriously.

FINAL CHARGE

You are not merely a spectator—you are a fellow soldier.

Don't let fear, offence or comfort derail your purpose.

“Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.”

Receive it.
Guard it.
Work it.
Finish it.

PRAYER

Father, help me to fulfil the assignment You have given me. Give me discipline, courage and endurance to remain faithful until the end. May I finish my course and keep the faith. In Jesus' name, Amen.
