“Enemy-occupied territory-that is what the world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage”
C.S. Lewis
1952
It was a great weekend of reminders from God that the battle is His. The privilege of taking part in the cause of Christ is something that I do not take lightly. I am blessed with fellow soldiers who are interested in excellence of service but like me have found that we have tendencies for pride and greed that get in the way of our service. In yesterday’s sermon we looked at adjustments that are necessary if we are serious about accomplishing this task efficiently.
There are adjustments required if I am to accomplish God’s assignment
If I am going to pray to God according to His purposes I need to know what they are.
What happens when I make those kinds of adjustments?
The revelation of God to you is an invitation to tweek the adjustment and raise efficiency
The coming Grade will require more locomotion power.
I am not in a position to obey until I have made the adjustment
I cannot continue as I am and go to God at the same time
Enormous adjustments have to be made. Look at the following examples:
Noah ( Gen 6 )
Abraham. (Gen 12:1-8)
Moses ( Ex 3 )
David (1 Sam 16)
Amos (Amos 7: 14-15)
Jonah ( 1:1-2, 3:1-2, 4:1-11)
Peter, Andrew,James,and John ( Mt 4:18-22)
Matthew (Mt 9:9)
We are in good company.
