“No soldier on duty entangles himself in the affairs of life,
that he may please Him who enrolled him as a soldier”
2 Timothy 2:4
Active
duty is the posture of those who are alive in Christ. It is a Call
which holds us to our posts ever watchful and ever engaged in the
affairs of our hearts and in His Church. Their lives are governed by the
full knowledge of the deceitful nature of their own hearts and the
propensity of the church to slip into the darkness of slumber and
lethargy.
It is ever the slumbering church which becomes the fearful church, for in her slumber she eventually awakes to discover that the enemies are at the gate and that she is ill prepared.
The
Day is now dawning upon us, division and lawlessness is arising. Stay
in the Spirit and we will not fall into fleshly carnal warfare. It is
those who are not standing their posts, who are not on duty in Christ
who get subverted to carnal issues.
“My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight…”
John 18:36
Jesus
said IF His Kingdom was of this world then His servants would fight…
but it is not of this world. If His people get caught up in the affairs
of this dark world they cannot be active in His. It is a day to prepare
ourselves to be at His disposal and to come to the place of grace and
sacrifice. Suffering and glory cannot be separated.
May
we encourage one another to stay in His Spirit and find grace to walk
above the issue of this life. The rise of evil is upon us and blessed
are they who find in Christ the grace to overcome evil with good.
Blessings
to all my brothers and sisters; may we begin to feel the drawings of
His Spirit into the union of His Life within us that we may be active in
preparing one another to “stand in the evil Day”.
“Wherefore
take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand
in the evil day, and having done all, to stand”
Ephesians 6:13
