Have you heard? The destiny of the church of Nigeria is at stake because of the consistent wars of the Islam. The Islam has put up a system to promote Islam and frustrate the gospel of Jesus Christ. There is now mandatory Islamic-studies for the primary and junior secondary schools in Nigeria. Let me ask you: are you willing to be a fifth wife? Are you going to allow your children bow down to Allah? Will you watch the next NUC chairman be a Muslim? Are you going to sleep and watch your daughters become sex slaves to the uncircumcised Muslims? The loan Nigeria is going to receive under Kuruntu from Saudi Arabia will give a candidate from Saudi Arabia-a Muslim the right to contest for leadership positions in our local communities. God is in need of true soldiers, who will become more addicted to the Gospel of Jesus, rise up and defend the kingdom of God in Nigeria. Will you be one? You have to.
Salvation is recruitment into the army of the Lord. The responsibility of salvation is to work for God and to speak out for God. You are not a Muslim because God has chosen you to be a soldier. It does not have respect for gender, once you have given your life to Christ; you are conscripted into God’s army. Salvation is not an escape route to get married or have academic excellence or ride cars or other material possessions. But salvation is a divine conscription to become a true soldier of Christ. The most stupid thing an army can do is not to prepare for war. Get ready, we are in warfare!
Major characteristics of becoming a true soldier
- It is filled with terrible demands.
- It is an inconvenient profession.
- It is never a self-seeking pleasurable career.
- It is a lifestyle free from entanglement.
Responsibilities of a true soldier
- Hardness- enduring responsibility (not hard-life)
- Entanglement-free responsibility
- He is committed to please his commander
- He is engaged in perpetual warfare
Note: Don’t be joking while sitting on a time-bomb, time is coming where you will not find a church to attend and that is why you must rise up now and stand for Christ. The two major fights that we must fight now are the fight against lust (James 4:1) and fight against elemental forces which in our case – is Islam.
