With Him in Battle

Scripture:

Revelation 17:14  "They will make war against the Lamb, but the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of Lords and King of kings - and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers".

Observation:

This passage is talking about a war between the Lamb and mystery Babylon.  In this battle, the Lamb, Jesus, is victorious, then it says these words, "and with him will be his called, chosen and faithful followers".  We not only have the honor of serving him now, but will war with him in ages to come.

Application:

Are we faithful followers?  If so, we will be part of this army that defeats enemies an establishes the fullness of the Kingdom of God on the earth in the end of time as we know it.  The text lets us know that he is King of kings and Lord of lords, but it also places us in the scene as his faithful followers.  We may suffer through some stuff in this life now, but one say we will rule and reign with him.  Be strong now...things get better.

Prayer:

Father, help me to be a faithful follower of Christ the Lamb.  Help me make right decisions and to follow the leading of Your Spirit.  Train my hands for battle and my heart to obey.  I look forward to serving with you in battle my commander in chief.  We will win in the end!

Yours for war,
Jeff
