REPORTING FOR DUTY
Picture credit www.google.com
These are
days we see easily and expressly loyalty, total dedication to national and
ideological causes.
Security
situations have necessitated call up for many reserves in military formations
worldwide. Such calls are impossible to refuse.
There is a
call for total obedience, non-emotional, selfless commitment. I dare say self-discounting
commitment to uphold integrity of a nation, a cause, an ideology. In
assignments of this cause, whilst we understand the best training is given,
bonding among colleagues, aerial and other forms of support by other military formations.
Even regional cooperation among forces from other Nations.
As watertight as these issues are, nothing is
absolutely guaranteed. Yet, men and women are gallant and proud to do that will
further the cause of their regiment- even at the cost of their irreplaceable lives.
We know
that a child of God is on assignment in this world.
Christ
declared the assignment as he quoted prophet Isiah in Luke 4:18 & 19,
saying
The Spirit
of the Lord God is on me He has anointed me to The Spirit of the Lord is upon
me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent
me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To
preach the acceptable year of the Lord
Timothy in
2 Tim 2: 2 asked that the truth of the Kingdom of God be passed on to faithful
men for preservation to entire generations.
We are
anointed to save, heal, and deliver people from the kingdom of darkness to
light. The bible says Today is the of salvation for someone. Who will be the
hands and the feet to take that salvation to that person dying and when? The answer
is me and you. The time is today.
Christ our
Lord taught the prayer in Luke 11:2 and he said unto them, when ye pray, say,
Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy
will be done, as in heaven, so in earth.
Let his
will be done on this earth. We are going to be the instruments
The call up
letter has been sent. Go ye into the world and be witnesses. Wherever in the
world you are. Be the witness. Home, work, in transit, and on vacation. Wherever we are, we are
reporting for duty.
May stones
not be raised in my place. May I not be too afraid of the generation to whom
the Lord has sent me. May I not discount the power of Heaven backing me up by
refusing to share God’s word. Amen
There are
many wonderful works God would release at these end times as earlier promised
only if the saved will rise up to do the assignment
The dangers
if we ignore our call up for assignment are enormous. We put ourselves and
generations at risk when we refuse to do the commands of the Lord . It is
common knowledge that if soldiers fail to defend their territory, enemy armies
will certainly claim their sovereignty and may enslave them and their children
Darkness can
be cast upon an entire generation where the children of God fail to arise and
do that the Lord has asked them to do. Their generations can be led away subtly or forcefully to lack of faith or a strange faith. May we not be part
of the great falling away. Amen
Rewards that
would be unearned in heaven because of complacency is also considerable
Quite
fearful are pronouncements of our Lord is that the tree that beareth not fruit
will be cut off (John 15:2). And that such a one who is neither cold nor hot
will be spewed out of God’s mouth (Rev:3:16)
Just
thinking about this, if we follow human orders without recourse to our own will
How much
more God’s assignment that leads to eternal joy and glory for us.
How much
more the gospel that brings Peace and Liberation to Nations
……and having
shod your feet with the readiness of the gospel of peace Eph 6:15
God be your
strength.
