May 27th, 2016 by Pastor Solley2 Tim 2:1-5 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.
3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.
4 No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.
5 And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
KJV
How many good soldiers of Christ will it take to turn America around, to turn America back to God? 1,000,000 or 100,000 or 10,000, or 5,000? How many will it take to turn this nation back to God? God is looking for just that one who will take up the fight.
(Ezek 22:30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.) It is going to begin with one. Many times in the history of this nation there has been one soldier stand up and turn the tide in battle. Most of the time those men were awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor, our nation’s highest award. Our God can do a great work with just one who will stand and be a good soldier. Most of the time when a great work is done in the Bible it begins with one or a small number. God doesn’t need big numbers, God just looks for faithfulness. Most of the great revivals in the world began with a very small number, or even with just one. God is looking today for that good soldier. Will it be you?
