The Soldiers, and the Vultures
Hebrews 11:32-40 KJV
And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
[33] Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,
[34] Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
[35] Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
[36] And others had trial of cruel mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
[37] They were stoned, they were sawn asunder, were tempted, were slain with the sword: they wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins; being destitute, afflicted, tormented;
[38] (Of whom the world was not worthy:) they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.
[39] And these all, having obtained a good report through faith, received not the promise:
[40] God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect.
Sometimes, I wonder whether these rugged, die hard, red eyes conquerors were our kinsmen.
Men that are more than men, who through sheer faith took their destiny in their hands, like Jesus,
They were not at the mercy of any situation. They choosed their course, the devil notwithstanding!
John 10:17-18 KJV
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
[18] No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
Wife or not, Children or cipher
Peter, Paul and their squad were indomitable, no threat or blandishment, nothing created could doused their commitment to accomplishing their purpose . death ceased to be a tyrant before them, but a servant they regarded as a vihicle of transition to glory. They beckoned to it when it was time to enter their rest.
Paul couldn't be drawn after been shipwrecked for 24 hours in the depth of the sea.
The venon of the viper couldn't hurt. His body rejected death when he was stoned by some bigots
John was fried in a cauldron. After the oil dried and the fire was out,
Not even a smell of oil could be perceived on him.
He was banished to an Island, there he completed his assignment.
Acts 20:23-24 KJV
Save that the Holy Ghost witnesseth in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions abide me.
[24] But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God.
2 Timothy 4:6-8 KJV
For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand.
[7] I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
[8] Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
2 Peter 1:14-15 KJV
Knowing that shortly I must put off this my tabernacle, even as our Lord Jesus Christ hath shewed me.
[15] Moreover I will endeavour that ye may be able after my decease to have these things always in remembrance.
Their gaze was fixed on the cross, they were dead to the world and its desires.
Just 17 years after the ascension of Christ, the 120 disciples at the upperroom turned Jerusalem right- side - up. They filled the city with their doctrine.
Church History had it that for every Jew, there was a Christian. One Jew one Christian. Judaism was so unsecured that its metamorphosised into a monster.
That was the commencement of the great controversy.
These heroes" doctrine is the crucifixion, resurrection, ascension and the next advent of the Lord Christ Jesus. They don't entangled themselves with the affairs of this world, they had embraced a city that is afar off! Whose architect and engineer is Jahovah
2 Timothy 2:4 KJV
No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
These past glorious ARMY, were our TEMPLATE!
Is their blue blood flowing in our veins?
Is the kindred spirit still in the family? Inspite of the tidal wave of feministic doctrine in town? the gospel of bread and butter, that breeds pseudo followers,
Vultures, catching and receiving carcasses in every corner
The rotteness in our societies today, is the reflection of the decadance in the CHURCH!
Jeremiah 8:4-5 KJV
Moreover thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord ; Shall they fall, and not arise? shall he turn away, and not return?
[5] Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? they hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.
God isn't surprise that you have fallen but he is perplexed that you refused to rise,
With alacrity, Jahovah is anticepating the Church to take responsibility and return to her first love, like the prodigal son
Jeremiah 2:2-3 KJV
Go and cry in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith the Lord ; I remember thee, the kindness of thy youth, the love of thine espousals, when thou wentest after me in the wilderness, in a land that was not sown.
[3] Israel was holiness unto the Lord, and the firstfruits of his increase: all that devour him shall offend; evil shall come upon them, saith the Lord.
Revelation 2:2-5 KJV
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
[3] And hast borne, and hast patience, and for my name's sake hast laboured, and hast not fainted.
[4] Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy first love.
[5] Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.
Revelation 3:15-18 KJV
I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
[16] So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
[17] Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
[18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
We have gone awol, let us return to contend for the faith that the apostles delivered to us.
Hosea 6:1-2 KJV
Come, and let us return unto the Lord : for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up.
[2] After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
It is only in God" sight the ARMY of Joel 2v1-11 would be reborn.
He will build his CHURCH, the Soldiers who could carry the Government upon their shoulders, they would determine who becomes what in their domain.
Silah!
