To hear our Lord say…
”Well done”

To “finish well” means to come to the end of one’s life and be able to say with the Apostle Paul: “For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.” II Timothy 4:6-8 KJV
![Page 21: Finish Well Global Leadership Summit May 20 , 2014 Oklahoma City, OK Harold Dalton, D.Min](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070401/568135f8550346895d9d6908/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
I have fought long and hard for my Lord, and through it all I have kept true to him. And now the time has come for me to stop fighting and rest.
II Timothy 4:6-8 The Living Bible

The sad reality is that an alarming number of Christian leaders do not finish well. It is the work of Satan
to “kill, steal, and destroy.”

Everyone Finishes. . . Too Many Do Not Finish Well (Bobby Clinton)
- Finished badly Saul, Solomon, Judas - Finished “so-so” David, Hezekiah
In some cases the person is forgiven by God and continues to serve the Lord at a diminished level.
- Can’t be sure, left with a question (not enough information)

person, in the right circumstances, we all have the potential of paying the wrong price for a moment of
pleasure.” (Farrar, p 72)

Humility is a great safeguard

Humility
Very high Biblical value, very low cultural value!
I Peter 5:1-7 God resist the proud, but gives grace to the humble

To practice humility
I will admit…
