Be ready to fight for a long time

We are at war and its part of our lives. Therefore we must be prepared for a long fight. It is a long war and the devil won't give up easily. Therefore do not give up easily...Everything that you really succeed in is prepared or done for a long time. Let us resist the devil until we die. Fighting is an activity of a good leader. Brethren let us learn to lead ourselves or we will end up giving up easily.
This song just came to my mind as i was listening to this message by Bishop:

There will be mountains that i will have to climb
And there will be battles that i will have to fight
But victory or defeat, its up to me to decide
But how can i expect to win if i never try

I just cant give up now
I've come too far from where i started from
Nobody told me the road will be easy
and i dont believe he brought me this far to leave me

Never said there wouldnt be trials
Never said i wouldnt fall
Never said that everything would go the way i want it to go
But when my back is against the wall
And i feel all hope is gone
I'll just lift my head up to the sky
And say help me to be strong

The message has a lot of wisdom...help me Lord to apply it into my life...Psalms 90 v 12 ....teach me to number my days that i may apply my heart to wisdom.
