Then cometh
the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father;
when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power (1 Corinthians
15:24).
The Lord
Jesus called us to establish His Kingdom in the earth. He’s setting up His
Kingdom in this earth, and after He’s set it up, and ruled and reigned in this
earth, there’ll come the judgment of the Great White Throne where He’ll sit and
judge everyone that ever came to this world. The Bible says we’ll sit with Him
on thrones to judge the nations of the world; but before that happens, you’re
going to have to do what He’s called you to do.
The reason
you’re in this world is to establish His Kingdom of righteousness in this
earth. There’s a job for you here; it’s leading men and women into
righteousness. This is something you must be passionate about. There’s no
Christian who’s excluded from this; none of us is called to lazy through life.
We’re an army, God’s army, enlisted into the ministry of reconciliation: “To
wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing
their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of
reconciliation” (2 Corinthians 5:19).
The army is
a profession of discipline and toughness. A soldier in service doesn’t live like
civilians do; he’s got a regimented lifestyle. He endures tough, physical and
mental training, and he’s always battle-ready. The body of Christ is an army!
There’re no sissies in God’s army; you must be strong and tough for the job at
hand. When it’s time to pray and you’re required to stand, stand up and pray!
If you’re required to kneel, kneel!
As a
soldier in God’s army, you’re called to a life of spiritual discipline, to
become tough for the Kingdom! Soul-winning, for you, is non-negotiable, because
that’s your lifestyle. Be fervent and zealous about the things of God; be
involved in establishing His Kingdom in the earth; be fervent in soul-winning.
He has strengthened you for this purpose.
PRAYER: Dear
Father, I thank you for the privilege of being a participator in the
establishment of your Kingdom in the earth. Your Spirit is at work in me,
causing me to dispense your righteousness and love! My life is an absolute
manifestation of your glory! As Christ reigns as King over all the earth, I
reign with Him, in establishing His Kingdom in the earth, and in the hearts of
men, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

STUDY: 1 Corinthians 3:9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God’s
husbandry, ye are God’s building.
Matthew
24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a
witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
2 Timothy
2:4 NIV No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but
rather tries to please his commanding officer.
