Army in the Kingdom

Transcript:
Good morning and greetings to you all in Jesus precious name!
You are valuable to the Lord. You are important in the kingdom of God. Every single child of God who is called by God, chosen by God, called out of this world by God’s Spirit is not here on earth without a purpose. We are not here by mistake. We are not here for a useless and purposeless life. The Lord has called us out with a unique purpose. Each of us will be used in a different way. Some of us in a very public way, some behind the scenes, some may be used in practical things in the church or in the world. Some might be used in a very intangible way like praying or seeking the heart of God behind the scenes. Irrespective of where God uses us, we have to remember that God values each and every one of us in His kingdom. He knows each and every one of us by name. He numbers even the hair on our head.
In Numbers 26:2, God is giving an instruction to his people and asking them to intentionally record the names of all the warriors by their families, so that when they face the enemy, these are the people they will be banking upon. I believe even in heaven we have a list with your name and my name written in it. God is saying, when Bangalore faces a problem, here are the top ten people we can bank upon! When something goes wrong with the media, government, politics, education; here are those people who can stand up and speak the right things, that is going to stand in the gap as watchmen of the nation. these people are not childish, not people who are swayed away by the things or opinion that are earthly. But these are people who are rooted, that are grounded and constantly growing and they are able to go to war.
Child of God! Can I ask you this, when God looks at you, will he find you as a brother or a sister or a man that can go to war? Or will He find you as someone who is still trying to get their basic needs sorted out? A soldier cannot live a normal civilian life. He is responsible for the nation having what they are supposed to conquer. He is personally responsible for the king’s dominion over those places where he is sent too.
Will you and I live with that devotion in our hearts? Will you and I make those decisions and choices with reverential fear for our God, our Master?
I pray and I hope that you will not feel overwhelmed but you will feel privileged to be a part of the family that is fighting for the King of Kings. You will feel that this is your assignment here on earth. When God writes down your name and says, I can bank upon this person, that no matter what, this person will not back down, he will fight with more intensity. May God say this about us this morning! May we be people who are not just desiring to go to war, but also people who are able to go to war, people who have equipped themselves and prepared themselves.
Whether you like it or not, there is a war coming upon this entire world and God is looking for His beloved ones, His faithful ones, those who will resist the enemy unto the point of death. Bible says, “Those who endure till the very end will be saved.” And because of them many others will receive salvation.
You are a chosen child of God to be a soldier in His Kingdom. Share on XMy hope and my prayers are that you will catch that desire to be a soldier in the army of God.
God bless you!

Feel For Him
Acts 17:27 (GNT)
He did this so that they would look for him, and perhaps find him as they felt around for him. Yet God is actually not far from any one of us.
Lock the Door
Matthew 23:13 (GNT)
““How terrible for you, teachers of the Law and Pharisees! You hypocrites! You lock the door to the Kingdom of heaven in people’s faces, but you yourselves don’t go in, nor do you allow in those who are trying to enter!”
Psalm 147:2–3 reveals God's heart as a Restorer rather than a Punisher. Although Israel went into exile because of its own rebellion, God did not abandon His people. Instead, He promised to restore Jerusalem, bring the exiles home, heal the brokenhearted, and bind up their wounds.
The message reminds us that while God may use friends, pastors, counselors, or loved ones to help us, true healing and restoration ultimately come from the Lord. His restoration reaches every part of our lives—our hearts, relationships, health, finances, emotions, and spiritual walk.
God knows every wound, including those hidden from others. Unlike people, who can only comfort from the outside, He sees the deepest parts of our hearts and heals completely. His healing is so complete that even the scars of past pain lose their power to define us.
The devotion encourages believers to fix their eyes on God instead of relying solely on human help. No matter how far someone has drifted, how many mistakes they have made, or how broken they feel, God is still calling them back. His desire is to restore, heal, and make all things beautiful in His perfect timing.
