Uniform jobs always look great and awesome. Like the soldiers for instance, when I see how soldiers move, and how movies have made it look so awesome, it has made it even more awesome. But many times we forget the sacrifices they have to pay. Defending a territory to the point of death or even attacking territories or nuisances that disturb the peace of the territories they protect. They go all the way, and coming back alive is always a way of thanksgiving if I would want to put it that way.
The life of a Son or Daughter of God is like the life of a soldier. Taking the word of God to the very end of the earth. Even though that is the ultimate goal, we receive batches of spreading this goodnews and how to do it.
We must understand that being a soldier for Christ Jesus isn't about fighting human forces, but spiritual forces that uses humans as tools to carry out their evil plans. Plans that fall contrary to the word of God.
But there is one thing that shows our Christian life properly, and that is our faith on the Lord Jesus.
Let's look at the centurion Jesus met on Matthew 8:5-13. The Centurion's servant was very ill, and met Jesus about it. Jesus wanted to come over to heal the servant, but this is what the Centurion said, "⁸ The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. ⁹ For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it. ” Matthew 8:8-9 NKJV.
Jesus marvelled at the great faith of the Centurion.
One thing about soldiers is that they follow orders to the letter. Sons and Daughters of God are meant to do likewise in the leading of the Holy Spirit. As Sons and Daughters of God, we are to trust Jesus to the very end as directs us through His word and the leading of the Holy Spirit. We can never get it wrong when we trust and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit in line with word of God.
We should not be carried away with the things of this world because the devil brings a lot of distractions and suggestions. We are sent here on a mission, but when we are distracted, we end up not living up to God's plans and purposes for our lives.
Let us follow the ways and leading of God as through the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
