DCLM Daily Manna 18 March 2022 OUTLINE
The nations of this world are aware that soldiers, despite their intensive professional training and competence, cannot equip themselves for the battle to defend their countries’ territorial integrity. The government that sends the military to war takes responsibility for kitting them to fight on the people’s behalf. It is an expensive exercise, gulping millions to put boots to work on the warfront in the service of the land.
When Jesus Christ sent His disciples on a greater warfare, a spiritual one, He made it clear to them not to be anxious about the challenges ahead and the cost of overcoming them. He empowered them with power to “preach…heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, (and) cast out devils.” The Lord did that before warning of dangers that lay ahead.
The rules of the game have not changed several centuries after. Christ wants us to know that because “no man goeth a warfare any time at his own charges”, we should perform our work in the harvesting of souls by putting the bill in heaven’s account. Nothing is too costly for heaven in the course of fulfilling the great commission.
If God could surrender His only Son to redeem lost man and assure us of the backing of His vast physical and spiritual arsenal if we enlist in His evangelism army, we should not hesitate to invest our lives and resources in the soul-winning business. He has us covered. Let us go out today to preach the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit who lives in us so that souls can be rescued from perishing in eternal hell.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Enlist in God’s evangelism army today.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
Jeremiah 39-42
