A GOOD SOLDIER OF CHRIST

    A GOOD SOLDIER OF CHRIST
A soldier is a person who is in an army and wear its uniform. He is someone who fight when there is war, CHRIST has an army of soldier and he is the head of the army. He is the general and boss of the army. A good soldier of Christ must pass the test. An ordinary soldier undergoes activities just to be enrolled and enlisted in the army. He goes through a lot of training until he is fit for the army. He is taught a lot of things, before he could be part of the army. Apostle Paul says in 2 Timothy 2 vs 3: Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Christ; just as I do and as Christ soldier, do not let yourself become tied up in worldly affairs. Let me talk on these, Apostle Paul is a good example of Christ’s soldier, he suffered for Christ just because he preached the gospel; he was imprisoned, yet he still was more willing to suffer if that will bring salvation and eternal glory in Christ JESUS to those GOD has chosen. That is how a good soldier of Christ does, are you one?
     Moreover, a good soldier of Christ do not let himself become tied up in worldly affairs, because he knows he is not of the world; but he is tied up with heavenly and godly affairs, because he knows when he set his affections on things above, that someday he is going to sit him GOD and reign with him. A good soldier follows the lord’s rule for doing his work. Paul made an athlete as an example, he said an athlete follows the rules or he is disqualified and wins no prize. A good soldier follows the rules of the lord and he is fit and qualified to win a prize at the end. A bad soldier is not qualified for the prize and does not follow the rules of the lord. A good soldier works hard like a farmer who get paid well if he raises a large crop. A good farmer cultivates and plant crop working so hard so he could harvest and sell at good prize, when it is time. That is how a good soldier does, he works so hard while on earth, he spreads the gospel to others, follow them up and bring them unto salvation, in turn he receives he receives a crown from the father GOD on the last day for a work well done. Are you a good soldier? Are you fit to be part of Christ’s army? If you are not a good soldier and not fit to be part of Christ’s army then you only need to repent from all your sins and accept Christ as your personal lord and savior.
        Furthermore, work hard so GOD can say to you well done. Be a good workman, one who does not need to be ashamed when GOD examines his work. Know what his word says and means. A good soldier of Christ uses the word of GOD as his weapon and not a gun,the bible said the sword of the spirit is the word of GOD, therefore he must know what the bible says and meant.
                    Finally, as a Christian we are to be a good soldier of Christ. It is compulsory for all Christians to be enrolled in the army of the lord. We are vessels in the hand of GOD and must be useful. Be part of Christ’s army and be a good soldier of CHRIST.

AN OUTCAST

AN OUTCAST An outcast is one that has been excluded from a society or system. He is labeled a beggar. He is an outsider. An outcast is a person that lacks care. An outcast is neglected and overlooked. He is demoralized. He is wounded in heart. He is labeled whom no one cares. He is one that has lost hope. He is one who is frustrated and dejected. He is one who is always deep in thoughts and sorrowful. He is one who lives like a foreigner in his own land. He is one who is distressed. He is one who gets dispossessed of his possessions. He is one who is perplexed. He is one who is troubled on every side. He is one who is despair. He is afraid of tomorrow. CHRIST came that we might have a restored hope. He came to bare that burden of ours. He came to give us that expected end. He came that we might have peace. He came that we might be healed . Isaiah 53 vs. 5: But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon him, and w...

OUR DAYS.

OUR DAYS Greetings to all reading on this platform worldwide. I write on this topic OUR DAYS even as   my twin sister and I are a year older today. Glory be to GOD for a new year and a new day. A song says great is thy faithfulness, Oh LORD my father, morning by morning new mercies we see, all we have needed his hands have provided, Great is thy faithfulness. Truly great is his faithfulness toward all men. Many are not convinced of these, many don’t see something special in GOD’s faithfulness towards them. David said “Then I lay down and slept in peace and woke up safely, for the LORD was watching over me. He GOD never sleeps nor slumber over us, we just find out we sleep and before you know it, you open your eye to a new day. This is the LORD’s doing and it should be marvelous in our sights. We are to see reasons to always appreciate and thank GOD for his goodness, mercies and faithfulness. That you are alive shows He is faithful. The gift of life which is the greatest of...

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1

TRAPPED BY YOUR OWN DESIRES 1 Everybody has a desire and some desires glorify GOD, while some do not. Desire is a strong feeling of wanting something. Many get trapped by their desires. The LORD our GOD knows our needs, desires and expectations; we are to delight ourselves in the LORD, commit our ways unto the LORD so he can give us our desires. Psalm 37 vs. 4-5: Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Many have desires that are against GOD’s will. Many have desires that will take the place of GOD. Many have desires that will lead to disobedience to GOD’s will. Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10 vs. 5: Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalt itself against the knowledge of GOD, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of CHRIST. There are imaginations and desires that will repel a man from GOD’s plan and will for his life. W...
