A few years ago, i was in the presence of someone I highly respected and regarded. Whilst chatting he bitterly expressed dismay at Christians that leave the church and later come back all beaten up and bruised and they expect him to assist them. He had made a resolution that he would stop entertaining these “type” of people because he felt used and unappreciated. Why do they leave church in the first place?
I remember feeling very uncomfortable and concerned about what he had said and the decision he had taken. It felt so wrong…. I understood where he was coming from but I could not help the unsettling feeling which honestly speaking, was mixed with a dash of offense. I guess my spirit pondered on it for a few years and continued questioning till I got the revelation.
Do you know that God has deployed most of us to be field agents? Just as law enforcement agents have an array of skilled labour that is deployed to collectively enforce the constitutional law and rules of the state, so is the Kingdom of God.
I’m sure you have heard of agents being wounded or dying on the job? Some going rogue, some disappear, some do become effective agents…the list goes on. We all have our role to play but we are deployed to fight crime in Gotham City…. Those that know Gotham City understand the horror that inhabits the city…. the villains have no regard for the law and never play fair. We have a high casualty turnover and that is because we have station commanders, such as this Apostle that have downed tools and turned his backs on his agents all because they come back wounded or get lost or are broken or they become rogue…!
The job of a commander is to provide leadership, covering and equip the force. If an angel deployed from heaven to deliver Daniel’s answer can get detained by the prince of Persia, what more a human being? Daniel had to pray and fast to see results and that is the job of saints, our victory is in prayer. When our fellow agents get caught up in war we fight, fight, fight for them by doing what we are supposed to do. So if you are a commander, take up your position and never leave, no matter what, if you are a water carrier like me, serve with diligence because your role is tied to a soul that is dependent on you! These souls are not ours to judge, they have been sent to you for stewardship or your help. If you don’t know how to help, turn to the one that put you on that assignment. He will guide you!
Remember that the souls you turn away because you feel they are undeserving of your help, are coming from the battle field as well, they themselves have been fighting other battles, battles that you would never survive if you were to be put in the field.
From experience there is nothing holy or glamorous about war, some battles agents have to war in, make no sense or and some are out-rightly unacceptable, but till we become the Creator and hold the master plan, we should not judge nor should we reject those that come for help or rest. Let’s war in prayer together!
