REPORTING FOR DUTY

REPORTING FOR DUTY

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.
