In the Military quarters, the expression Marching Orders is commonly
used, well understood and strictly adhered to. It simply
means 'A command or instruction from Authority on exactly what to do or
the next specific move to make.
Failure to respect and Obey this leads to another meaning
of Marching Orders which is notice of dismissal or sending off for doing
something wrong.
So i ask here, As Christians What is our Marching
Orders especially relating to the former definition since we have an all
Gracious&Merciful Father who doesn't throw us away when we
wrong/sin against him.
_Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven
and on earth has been given to me.Therefore go and make disciples of
all nations, baptizing....and teaching them to obey everything I have
commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the
age.”(Matt. 28:18-20)_
*Beloved, This is our marching orders as Christians. To
Spread the Gospel,To Win Souls,To Save Lives, To Nurture and Raise
Disciples to Continue thereafter...*
It is a command, One that has to be obeyed. As a result, we
are given Authority from the 'Authority' himself(JESUS) over
every& any force that seeks to derail our mission.Then, in all these
he says i will be with you till the end.(That is UNFAILING)
And so, this is our Evangelism Call. One, that he just does
not Command us to but empowers us to. (Phil.2:13- For it is God who is
at work in you....)
*It is Marching Orders not to scare us but just because
souls are perishing and as a loving and merciful God, he wants us to
understand the gravity of the situation(the world we live in now speaks
volume) *
Ooh but how we've normalised it and made it as one of those
convenient options. Can we learn from the Military on how they do not
joke with this since a life or a nation is at stake...and here we are
looking at OUR LIFE NOW AND EVEN THE LIFE AFTER MOST IMPORTANTLY.
*SO I SAY: LET'S RISE UP...FOR IT IS MARCHING ORDERS... NOT A LAXITY.. FOR SOULS ARE PERISHING*
