THIS IS WAR 1
“ This is war, and there is no neutral ground. If you’re not on my side, you’re the enemy; if you’re not helping, you’re making things worse.” Matthew 12:30 (Message Bible)
When you became born again, you were translated or conveyed from the power of darkness into the Kingdom of the Son of His love (Colossians 1:13).
This mandate of the Kingdom did not end with you.
The Lord is still in the business of conveying many from the power of darkness into His Kingdom.
This is the business of the Kingdom and you were brought into the Kingdom to be a Steward of this business.
Get this, God did not make you a King and a Priest (Revelation 1:6), just for you to enjoy the luxury and extravagance of divine royalty and Christ’s love.
We are made Kings and Priests in Christ to be involved in the assignment of the Kingdom.
“But you are God’s chosen treasure— priests who are kings, a spiritual “nation” set apart as God’s devoted ones. He called you out of darkness to experience his marvelous light, and now he claims you as his very own. He did this so that you would broadcast his glorious wonders throughout the world“ 1 Peter 2:9 (TPT)
We have the mandate to dispel the influence of darkness in all places, by shining out the light of the gospel.
There are forces of darkness working to gather and oppress men and turn men against God’s glorious agenda of the Kingdom.
“For they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty“. Revelation 16:14 (NKJV)
The forces of darkness are in serious business day and night, to turn the people of this world against God and to wage war with the Lord.
The adversary is not waiting for the future to strike against God and his Kingdom. He is in business today. Nothing just happens; there are many things turning people away from God and His love in our day, which are part of the plottings of darkness.
God’s mandate has never been unopposed. The adversary has always been on the go to distract, oppose, weary and to contend with God’s people.
Many have set themselves up to be enemies of the gospel.
They use every single medium to achieve their evil intentions.
Yes, the devil and his cohorts have no chance against the Kingdom of light.
But the question is, HOW ARE YOU INVOLVED?
Did you see what Jesus said in the opening scripture above?
Where do you belong?
Take note, there is no middle (neutral) ground.
If you are doing nothing, you are not helping and you are making things worse.
At the end of all things each man’s work in this war shall be judged. (2 Corinthians 5:9-10)
Are you sitting on the fence or you are relentlessly involved in the mandate of the Kingdom?
Look at what Mordecai told Esther, when she gave what seem to be genuine excuse not to fight for the people of God:
“Then Mordecai commanded to answer Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king’s house, more than all the Jews. For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?“
Esther 4:13-14 (KJV)
God has brought you into His kingdom and placed you in that school or institution, office or organization, political space, community or neighbourhood, hospital, firm at such a time as this, to make the light of the Kingdom shine.
When you fail to be involved in God’s business, He will raise someone else for the assignment and hold you accountable.
As Saul failed in the assignment God gave him, God raised David who will do His will.
(1 Samuel 15; 16:1; Acts 13:21-22).
The expansion of the Kingdom, is now our business and mandate.
God has made us Saviours from Zion, and that includes you. (Obadiah 1:21)
As we have been made sons of God, we must take up the mandate of the Kingdom.
In the kingdom of God there are no civilians; though we are all citizens.
We are made kings and priests (that is responsibility).
And as Kings, we don’t sit in the palace to have fun.
We are trained by God to be good soldiers.
Refuse to be at ease. (Amos 6:1)
Be part of the war. Be involved in what God is doing.
You are God’s agent of transformation.
Take up your responsibility today.
DIG DEEPER:
(Matthew 16:18-19; Psalm 144:1; Jeremiah 1:3-9; 17-19; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5;)
WE PRAY:
That the Lord will teach our hands to make war and the skill to take strategic steps which will make us get ministerial results.

From today’s bible reading text,
I was convicted of the word to whom much is given much is expected asseen in Numbers 26 verse 53 where the land was divided among the tribes fir war according to their number and capacity..
Wow, I cannot be at ease in Zion.
Amos 6 verse 1
I learnt that my service to God which is an unforceful rhythm should be what God wants and not what I want or feel like doing as seen in Numbers 26
I also learnt that I should hold on to legitimate claims in the word of God made available to us in scriptures as seen by the daughters of Zelophehad.
