Town-down defined:
• In football, a scoring of six points achieved by being in possession of the ball behind an opponent's goal line.
The body of Christ is the light of the world. The body of Christ is the salt of the earth. We possess the power of Almighty God to do the greater works of God. The kingdom of God is supreme. We have been endued with the power of the Holy Spirit to be witnesses unto the Lord Jesus Christ. We are an undefeatable body whose head is King of kings and Lord of lords. We are ambassadors for the Kingdom of God and ministers of reconciliation in this world. We are more than conquerors in Christ. We are a unified undefeatable host, a team, a family, a company of true believers united for the cause of Christ.
When a touch-down is made on a football field it took the entire team working together, every member doing their part, to go behind enemy lines and score. Every position is important and significant in the overall strategy to meet the goal. Jesus obtained possession of the ball over thousands of years ago. Jesus then passed the ball to the church and said go! We are now in the field with possession of the ball running through enemy territory toward the goal. We are running with the understanding that no weapon or strategy formed against us shall prosper. We are running with the understanding that we win. The plays have already be designed and orchestrated by El-Elyon, the Most High God. There is an enumerable host of Heavens best standing by to assist whenever needed.
So now that you know the game is fixed run with enthusiasm and vigor run like you know you already have won.
1 Corinthians 9:24-27 (MSG)
You've all been to the stadium and seen the athletes race. Everyone runs; one wins. Run to win. All good athletes train hard. They do it for a gold medal that tarnishes and fades. You're after one that's gold eternally.
I don't know about you, but I'm running hard for the finish line. I'm giving it everything I've got. No sloppy living for me! I'm staying alert and in top condition. I'm not going to get caught napping, telling everyone else all about it and then missing out myself.
You know I enjoyed the football analogy*
