Soldiers! How much do you love God?
"The person who loves father or mother more than Me is not worth of Me; the person who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And whoever doesn't take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me. Anyone finding his life will lose it, and anyone losing his life because of Me will find it" -Jesus (Matthew 10:37)
As men of God we need to get our priorities straight. And the question you need to be asking yourself is how much you actually love God. We all say we do, we go to church, we're members of groups and stuff on social media, but do we really love God enough to deny ourselves, lose our lives, and follow Him at all cost? I hope so.
"This is how we are sure we have come to know Him: by keeping His commands. The one who says, "I have come to know Him," yet doesn't keep His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. But whoever keeps His word, truly in him the love of God is perfected in Him: The one who says he remains in Him should walk just as He walked" - John (1 John 2:3)
Are we walking as our Messiah walked? Are we obeying His commands? Is that more important than anything in our lives? I hope so. If we're not obeying our marching orders, we won't be effective in the field. That's just plain old sense. And if we don't obey His commands, what does that say about our love? Our respect? And our hearts? The truth will come out in our action. So this is a wake up call. If you're not on point, get on point. And if you're having a heart problem, get it fixed. There's nothing more important you can do today than that.
