Luke 7:8 (KJV)

For I also am a man set under authority, having under me soldiers, and I say unto one, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.

Jesus, who defied the viscosity of water and walked on it, the same Jesus who multiplied five loaves of bread and two pieces of fish and fed five thousand men, not counting children, marvelled at no other thing or person than a "soldier."

The character of a soldier is obedience to authority! A true soldier takes instruction. A soldier protects the constitution, which for a Christian is the Bible, the Word of God. A true soldier honours ranks and takes orders. Are you ready today to be a true soldier of Jesus?

The Bible speaks of the men of God of old who hazarded their lives; they saw themselves as soldiers in the army of Christ! This last dispensation should be full of soldiers who understand that we are in a war zone and there is no neutrality. Therefore, be alert as a good soldier on the battlefield. Satan, the adversary, is cunning. Do not give him access. Defend your territory with no negotiation or compromise.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

My allegiance to my Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, is unwavering. I stand ready for active duty at any time, prepared as a loyal servant. Amen.
