Who were building the wall. Those who carried materials did their work with one hand and held a weapon in the other, and each of the builders wore his sword at his side as he worked...#Neh_4_17&18

In your ministry, you must always be prepared for both action and defense. One hand should be focused on carrying out your mission, while the other should be ready to protect it. No matter how talented you are, it's important to be able to defend yourself, even from your own gifts. 

God provides the wisdom and skill to fight, but remember, that fighting is not your actual calling. While there are times when battles are inevitable, your real focus should be on fulfilling your kingdom assignment. Keep your eyes on the work you have been called to do.
