SCRIPTURE: Revelation (NIV) 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: Jesus was introduced to the world by John the Baptist as the Lamb. The context of this verse shows a ten nation confederacy submitting their power to Satan’s kingdom to make war against the Lamb. The outcome of this war is not in doubt.
With the Lamb are those who have been called, then they have been chosen, and finally they have proven faithful.
APPLICATION: I cannot do the calling. God calls me as the Holy Spirit convicts me of sin and draws me to His forgiveness.
I cannot do the choosing. God chooses to place His Spirit within me. He chooses to make me His dwelling place, His home. He chooses to have fellowship with me!
But I can be faithful. I can be faithful to listen and to obey. I can be faithful to keep Him #1 in my life. I can be faithful to the assignments He has given me.
Just a note: if you are a parent, God has given you the greatest assignment any person can have. Remember, Mary’s assignment was to be a mother! Be faithful to raise your children, and to pray for them daily.
PRAYER: Lord, you have loved me and proved again and again your love for me. You have chosen me and given me some special assignments. How can I not be faithful to you! Amen.
