WE ARE THE MOP-UP CREW- GATHERING THE SPOILS #961/ WITH DR GEORGE WATKINS

WE ARE THE MOP-UP CREW GATHERING THE SPOILS

 

When you consider your Christian walk and your daily encounters with oppositions that come your way, have you also considered Christ's total victory over the enemy?

Much of our modern theology has a mixture of victory and defeat woven through it. Yes, we speak of Paul's revelation of "Christ in you the hope of glory." And we remember, "greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world." And we hear echoing through our soul, "I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me."

Yet somehow, the theology of God and the devil duking it out is still being heard in some of our congregations. We conjure up the picture of the struggling Saint stumbling through life, hoping they don't get taken out by the enemies' attacks. 

This would be a good time for us to refocus and see the clear picture of what Christ actually did for us at the cross, resurrection, and ascension to the father. It seems that I remember somewhere in Paul's teaching that Christ actually won the victory over the enemy and sealed the new covenant in his blood. Then he went as far as giving us authority over all the things the enemy would try through his name.

Then for the final witness of total victory, he sent us the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost as a witness that the father had accepted him as the perfect sacrifice.

With these thoughts in mind knowing that Jesus had perfect victory, should not we, as the army of Christ on earth, have a different tactic? For instance, if the enemy is defeated, our job would be to bring the spoils and bring them home.

That's precisely the position we have in the kingdom we are in today.

We are the mop-up crew going into all the world and declaring the total victory of Jesus Christ over the enemy and bringing the good news that everyone has been freed from death and hell.

Come home; the father's waiting for you.
