Tuesday Daily Devotional By Pastor David Okoye (Ambassadors Diet 19th July, 2016) – You Are A Soldier

“Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.” 2 Timothy 2:3 

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (AMP) completely defines the impregnability of the
life of a God-child.

“We are hedged in (pressed) on every side [troubled
and oppressed in every way], but not cramped or crushed; we suffer
embarrassments and are perplexed and unable to find a way out, but not
driven to despair; We are pursued (persecuted and hard driven), but not
deserted [to stand alone]; we are struck
down to the ground, but never struck out and destroyed;” 

A soldier on a
mission never gives up. Irrespective of what the enemy throws at him,
he keeps at the mission. This is why it is often said that a man on
missions for the lord cannot be killed.

And the Apostle Paul, the
writer of the book of Corinthians is an example of this truth.

Realize
that God sees us as soldiers. 

The day we gave our lives to the Lord, He
enlisted us in His army. A soldier aims at fulfilling the mission.

It
doesn’t matter the number of battles fought; a true soldier is always
back on the mission field once there is a call for him to be. 

The
God-child has got to adopt this mentality when it comes to God’s work;
there is no backing out. You might be pulled, stretched, pressed or
bent, but you can never be defeated unless you give up. You would always
emerge stronger, better and refined as gold. As a missionary you have
got to be resistant to pressure, immovable and firm. 

You can’t be struck
out or destroyed. No challenge can keep you from accomplishing your
mission. All you need do is stand strong in the Lord and in His mighty
power.

DECLARATION
I am resilient, undeterred and firm in the face of challenges. I am coming out stronger and refined.
