Are you a Soldier for Jesus?

2 Timothy 2:4

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!

My bible story time teacher at church did a lesson on being a good soldier for Christ. We are in a spiritual battle, if we are saved we are fighting for Jesus. If we are not saved we are the enemy. How important is it to know that we are fighting for right. That we are fighting in the LORDS army and not the devils! There is no reason why we can't be in the battle on the right side. Just give your life to Jesus and you will be on the winning side! Here is a poem that our teacher brought. I wanted to share it.

A Soldier For Jesus Christ

I AM A SOLDIER IN THE ARMY OF GOD!
THE LORD JESUS CHRIST IS MY COMMANDING OFFICER!
THE HOLY BIBLE IS MY CODE OF CONDUCT!
FAITH, PRAYER, AND THE WORD OF GOD ARE MY WEAPONS OF WARFARE!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

I HAVE BEEN TAUGHT BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, TRAINED BY EXPERIENCE,
TRIED BY ADVERSITY AND TESTED BY FIRE.
I AM A VOLUNTEER IN THIS ARMY, AND I AM ENLISTED FOR ETERNITY!!!
I WILL EITHER RETIRE IN THIS ARMY AT THE END, OR DIE IN THIS ARMY....
BUT I WILL NOT GET OUT , SELL OUT, BE TALKED OUT OR PUSHED OUT!!!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

I AM FAITHFUL, RELIABLE, CAPABLE AND DEPENDABLE.
IF GOD NEEDS ME, I AM THERE!
IF HE NEEDS ME IN BIBLE STORY TIME, TO TEACH CHILDREN, WORK WITH THE YOUTH, HELP THE ADULTS OR JUST SIT AND LEARN,
HE CAN USE ME, BECAUSE I AM THERE!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

I AM A SOLDIER!
I DO NOT NEED TO BE PAMPERED, PETTED, PRIMED UP,
PUMPED UP, PICKED UP OR PEPPED UP.
I AM A SOLDIER!
NO ONE HAS TO CALL ME, REMIND ME, WRITE ME, ENTICE ME, OR LURE ME!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

I AM A SOLDIER!
I AM NOT A WIMP!
I AM IN PLACE, SALUTING MY KING, OBEYING HIS ORDERS,
PRAISING HIS NAME, AND BUILDING HIS KINGDOM!
NO ONE HAS TO SEND ME GIFTS, FOOD, CANDY, OR GIVE MY HANDOUTS!
I DO NOT NEED TO BE CUDDLED, CRADLED, OR CATERED TO!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

I AM COMMITTED!
I CANNOT HAVE MY FEELINGS HURT BAD ENOUGH TO TURN ME AROUND!
I CANNOT BE DISCOURAGED ENOUGH TO TURN ME ASIDE!
I CANNOT LOSE ENOUGH TO CAUSE ME TO QUITE!!!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

WHEN JESUS CALLED ME INTO THIS ARMY, I HAD NOTHING.
IF I END UP WITH NOTHING, I WILL STILL COME OUT EVEN! I WILL WIN!
MY GOD WILL SUPPLY ALL MY NEEDS!
I AM MORE THAN A CONQUEROR!!! I WILL ALWAYS TRIUMPH!!
I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST!!!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

DEVILS CANNOT DEFEAT ME. PEOPLE CANNOT DISILLUSION ME!
WEATHER CANNOT WEARY ME. SICKNESS CANNOT STOP ME.
BATTLES CANNOT BEAT ME! MONEY CANNOT BUY ME!
GOVERNMENTS CANNOT SILENCE ME!

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

I AM A SOLDIER!
EVEN DEATH CANNOT DESTROY ME!
FOR WHEN MY COMMANDER CALLS ME FROM THIS BATTLEFIELD,
HE WILL PROMOTE ME TO HEAVEN.

I AM A SOLDIER FOR JESUS CHRIST!

I AM A SOLDIER, IN THE ARMY, AND I'M MARCHING, CLAIMING VICTORY!
I WILL NOT GIVE UP! I WILL NOT TURN AROUND!!
I AM A SOLDIER, MARCHING HEAVEN BOUND!
HERE I STAND. WILL YOU STAND WITH ME?

BE A GOOD SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST...
CHECK YOUR.....
1. ENDURANCE
2. ENTANGLEMENTS
3. ENLISTMENT

2 Timothy 2:3
Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ!

Have a great day in the LORD!
