YOU ARE A SOLDIER



Sub-Topic: You are a soldier of Christ

Biblical Text: 2 Timothy 2: 1-4

Commentary:

The scripture in the above passage shows that every believer is a soldier. The moment a sinner repents, he becomes enlisted into the most sublime military corps. In other words, an unbeliever is a bloody civilian fighting in a battle field with well-armed soldiers. But when he toes the path of faith in Christ, he changes his status from a civilian to a soldier.

In this battle, your weapon isn't physical/carnal but spiritual and of course the most powerful and most sophisticated weapon in the universe (2 Cor.

10:4). So you do not have to worry about your enemy because he is a bloody civilian fighting you (a soldier) who is well armed: he is already defeated.

A true soldier does not fear. 'No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprise of life (2Tim 2:4). Stay off filthiness!

Note that your uniform (God's word) scares people (Satan, enemies).

Just learn to take the orders of your commanding officer, Jesus Christ and please Him, if you must win.

Prayer: Father, as a soldier in Your army, may l always be at my duty post.

Work Activity: Jot down a list of things you can do to prove your service as a soldier of christ.

Scripture Reference:2Tim 2:4"No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer."

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
