A new generation of warriors

I love knights, especially one that live with a strict code of honour and conduct, one who defend the noble principle of freedom, defending the weak, the uphold justice. Now at the dawn of a new era of 2008, the Church calls for the ‘knights’ to arise to defend the gospel, not that we do need to defend God but to stand up against the onslaught of gnosticism, atheism, and secularism.

The days of Pseudo-Christianity that was based solely on the emotional, both arousing, and conjuring extreme spectrum of emotional expressions in worship and relativism, is but abused. I am for an outward expression of our faith in emotions especially in worship and in life where the Word of God must ultimately expressed through, however, is that a standard by which absolutism and eternal principles sat on, shifting emotional feelings.

With the enemies coming in like a storm in the likes of seemingly unstoppable storm of atheism, paganism, secularism, and gnosticism, can an emotional Church stand? No. There is a call to the basic – a call to love, fellowship, prayer, intercession, and throughout the world, young people coming together to worship, to come back to the doctrines, and in 2008, God will expose the false teachers and false prophets, and there need to arise a generation of Gideon warriors, one who fought and live by faith.

That i always see them as noble knights in fellow Christians, taking up the shields, carrying the Sword of the Word of God, putting on the full armour of God and raising the standard and banner which is Christ. God is raising up an army, not jesters, and are we ready to pay the price? Am i ready to pay the price?

How to trust God – Habakkuk

“The Lord answers me: Write down the vision; write it down clearly on clay tablets so whoever reads it can run to tell others. It is not yet time for the message to come true, but that time is coming soon, the message will cone true. It may seems a long time but be patient and wait for it, because it will surely come; it will not be delayed.”

Habakkuk complained to God on the injustice he saw around him, when God’s people, the Jews were made into slavery by the wicked Babylonians. The prophet lamented on God’s timing. It was an interesting conversation which i read through the entire book yesterday that has significant meaning for us today. We are all, tired of God not working; it seems, nevertheless, it is not time yet for the fulfillment of His Word, Promise and His justice to come. We may not understand, and most of the time we can’t, however this particular verse caught my eye and gave me tremendous encouragement

The evil nation is very proud of itself; it is not living as it should. But those who are right with God will live by Faith.” Habakkuk 2:4

The very essence of Christianity that we will live by faith, that we are called as a people who live by an unchanging God, on His unchanging character, eternal, righteous, and just. That, despite the troubles, the injustice in this world, the pain, the heartaches, that we can count on Him. The just shall live by FAITH.
