A TRUE SOLDIER...Urriah the Hitite-2sam.11.
    According to the Hymn ''It pays to serve Jesus''...The last line of the Chorus says: I'll be a true Soldier, I'll die at my post. A true Soldier in our context today is an unknown and usually unsung soldier...Urriah the Hitite.
Urriah was a relatively unknown Soldier in the army of Israel at that time. Why have I classified Urriah who is a relatively unknown soldier to be a true one.
1.    Atrue Soldier will reject enjoyment and comfort even when an higher authority offers Him/her one - 2sam. 11:8-9...
    why? - he had reverence for the ark of God which signifies the presence of God; He reverenced His boss, The army captain, he thought about His colleagues.., Do we really put all these into consideration before we grab that offer to rest, leave or even Sabbatical 2sam.11:10-11
2.    Lie with my wife!, that was not part of what David sent Him to do - David told Him to go into the   House and wash his feet - but He had the consciousness of what could have happened if he went home.
    True Soldiers should be at alert as they should know what the step they are about to take entails, - They should know that they can't just go home without lying with their wives.
3.    Even when a true soldier is supposedly ''drunk'', He still has his senses and he still understand the concepts and the rudiments of the things he should do not even after the kings bottles of wine- a true soldier will still never get carried away - He will never go home.
4.    A true soldier delivers a message exactly as he is sent even though it contained his DEATH SENTENCE - no cross checking, no second thoughts-He delivered the message duly...2sam.11:14-15
5.    A true Soldier will be proud to die in the course of duty/line of duty. 2sam.11:16-17

BENEFITS OF A TRUE SOLDIER
1.    He has a share in the ancestry of Jesus. matt.1:4
2.    His glory/history/story will never be passed to any man...Urriah's name was still attached to Batsheba as the official husband....That will not be taken away from a true soldier.

Peeps as you read this, think about it...are you a true Soldier. will you go to the extreme in line of duty as urriah did.

Prayer Point: Lord, help me not to get carried away in the course of duty.
          help me to stay in duty and even DIE at my post gallantly as a Soldier that I am.

It pays to serve Jesus

Good Morning peeps, how was the night.

Hymns are a part of praise and worship to our GOD, its also used to boost our faith, to make God's mind known to us. Hymns will also be a feature on churchtinz.blogspot.com. This morning we are starting with a wonderful piece - IT PAYS TO SERVE JESUS. This hymn for me is really soul lifting and encouraging.

ENJOY....

IT PAYS TO SERVE JESUS

It pays to serve Jesus, I sing from my heart

He'll always be with us, if we do our part....

There's naught in this wide world can pleasure afford

There's peace and contentment in serving the Lord

Chorus:

I'll love Him forever than in days of yore,

I'll serve Him more truly than ever before,

I'll do as He bids me whatever the Cost,

I'll be a true soldier, I'll die at my post

And often when I'm tempted to turn from the track

I think of my Saviour, my mind wanders back

To the cross where they nailed Him on Calvary's tree

I heard a voice saying: I suffered for thee

A place I remember where I was set free

It's where I found pardon, a Heaven to me

There Jesus spoke sweetly to my weary Soul

My sins were forgiven He made my Heart whole

How rich is the treasure the world cannot give

I'm satisfied fully for Jesus to live

Tho friends may forsake me and trials arise

I'm trusting in Jesus, His love never dies...

ENJOY the rest of the day...

Life is one thing the most High Cherished the most, yet He gave it willingly to Man to take charge of. Life is something that is a part of God...God is the only source and origin of life. So, you having life in you is something you should cherish because you are currently a custodian of something very dear and important to God and He is watching out for you, keeping a close Tab on you, He wants to see how you will treat His dearest property - your LIFE - which He had put in your care.

 

Sincerely, Life is Fragile...Handle with Prayer...

 

Is our Life not really ours...That is a Discussion for another day.

ENJOY..

The YES that matters....

Life they say is full of ups and downs...but no matter the amount of discouraging things you must have heard, no matter the amount of disappointments you must have experienced, no matter the number of NOs that had been said to your face. My friend, there is only one YES you need to get for everything to fall back into its normal position.

No matter how weird people tag your dream, as it seems like its you against the world...You just go get the YES that matters, the YES of the FATHER, the YES of GOD, once you have that...not even a billion NOs can stop you...You go get the FATHER's YES...then your Future is brighter than the morning sun.

ENJOY
