Always on Call

Be on guard. Stand firm in the faith. Be courageous. Be strong. And do everything with love.

1 Corinthians 16:13‭-‬14 NLT

The above command and is one that could be given to a warrior but it is given to church people in Corinth by the Apostle Paul. What do non-army folk need such a word for?

I am glad you asked! The Christian is always at war with the powers of darkness, for their own freedom and the souls of others. Not that we go looking for fights, like ghostbusters, but rather we are alert and on guard, our prayers are constant for others, knowing their enemy prowls like a lion looking for someone to devour.

We need to be people of prayer and people of the word. We must know our commander, the Lord Almighty. We must be willing to lay down our lives for those we seek to save, much like a soldier would.

We are always on call. Amen!
