ALL LEADERS IN THE ARMY OF CHRIST, YOU HAVE YOUR MARCHING ORDERS!!!
But you are a CHOSEN PEOPLE, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s SPECIAL POSSESSION, that you may declare the PRAISES of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light.”1 Peter 2:9 (NIV)
Friends, as God’s CHOSEN LEADERS YOU HAVE YOUR MARCHING ORDERS. But you must first have the PASSION to complete your PRAISE, and glory in Him, as you allow your mind and body to be “ON ONE ACCORD” with our Savior.
As you love as He loves, while constantly seeking the main source of power, which is the outpouring of God’s Spirit, and through our LEADERSHIP all believers will be united through the body of Christ who are TRULY SEEKING HIS PRESENCE.
Matthew 18:19 (NIV) tells us “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about ANYTHING they ask for, IT WILL BE DONE for them by my Father in heaven.” My friends the promise wasn’t it might be done. But God tells us IT WILL BE DONE.
But you must believe. I cannot impress upon you enough of the closeness of Christ second coming, and the importance of a Spirit filled body of saints who are willing with a PASSION to LEAD out in convincing the world, that there is a living God who gave His ONE AND ONLY SON to die on a cruel cross so that we may all by his grace, and through or Faith be saved, and receive ETERNAL LIFE.
“As the disciples waited for the fulfillment of the promise, they humbled their
hearts in true repentance and confessed their unbelief. They prayed with intense earnestness for a fitness to meet men and in their daily intercourse to speak words that would lead sinners to Christ.
Putting away all differences, all desire for the supremacy, they came close together in Christian fellowship. These days of preparation were days of deep heart searching. The disciples felt their spiritual need and cried to the Lord for the holy function that was to fit them for the work of soul saving.
They did not ask for a blessing for themselves merely. They were weighted with the burden of the salvation of souls. They realized that the gospel was to be carried to the world, and they claimed the power that Christ had promised.” (E.G.White)
My friends if you are a Child of God, that makes you a LEADER in the “Great Controversy” with MARCHING ORDERS to use whatever talent God has given you to Help finish up His work here on earth.
For “We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your faith; if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; if it is to encourage, then give encouragement;
if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead, do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully. Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves. Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.” Romans 12:6-11 (NIV)
So today our mission statement as one. Must be a mission statement for all. As we spread the good news of the gospel to a world, in the final days of this life’s history. “And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people, and communities to myself.” John 12:32 (NIV)
As we all become open minded, just, and ALL ON ONE ACCORD with Genuine unity, in a spirit of humility, and love, while joining together shared visions, and goals, that leads to finishing God’s commission. now ALL LEADERS IN THE ARMY OF CHRIST, YOU HAVE YOUR MARCHING ORDERS!!!
“And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.” Matthew 24:14 (KJV) My friends because God loves us so much, He is given each of His LEADERS a chance to SERVE. But “he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.” Luke 19:40 (KJV)
So my friends today. Stay focused, remain faithful, love one another and endure till the end and never forget to STUDY&PRAY
