Sealed - Part 2预览
Day 4: The Seal of the Mission
Military seals on arms have deep personal meaning for those who serve. These seals represent loyalty and companionship among military personnel. They symbolize shared experiences, troop identity, and the commitment to protect and defend. The seal is a permanent reminder of their dedication and bravery. These badges embody honor, discipline, and responsibility, symbolizing the user's experience and contributions to their military unit.
In times of war, people are forced to take a stand, ally themselves with a side, and pledge allegiance to them. An identifier is usually placed on the person's body so that others can know who is friendly and who is not.
In Songs 8:6, let us remember that the Bridegroom is also the King of the story. In addition to being the ruler of a Kingdom, the King is also the head of the military forces.
When the King tells the young bride to place a seal on her arm, He is not only sealing her with His love but also calling her to join Him in His mission.
Jesus has yet to return to earth, as He said, because there is a plan that He is executing and a mission that must be accomplished, and He wants His Bride to participate with Him. We are all called to extend the Kingdom of God, and there are various ways to fulfill His mission, thus engaging in the ministry of the Gospel.
The fiery seal on your arm gives you a purpose and a mission in the Kingdom.
This seal calls you to something bigger than your personal goals and dreams. The seal gives you access and authority to engage and partner with God and His power in what He is doing in your local community, country, and the nations of the earth. As you extend your arm to participate in His mission, He expands your ability to reach places and people exponentially beyond your natural limits for His glory and fulfillment of His will.
As He is holy, He wants His Bride to be holy. As He is mature, He wants His Bride to mature. As He is on a mission, He wants His Bride to be on a mission with Him.
"Every Christian is called to follow the example of Jesus. Jesus will have an equally yoked Bride with Him." (Joel Richardson)
My Prayer:
Father God, I put the seal of Your love upon my arm. You want me to be equally yoked with Your Son. Give me the privilege to be in Your story in my generation. I want to be part of what You are doing on the Earth. I do accept to join You in Your mission. I want to be faithful to Your call in my community. Extend my capacity to participate in Your mission beyond my country's borders. I will go where You lead me. I will do what You want me to do. I have tasted Your goodness and want to be where You are. And I know that with You, all things are possible. You gave us a commission, and You are not evil to tell us to do something that is not possible. Thank You for the promise that You would be with us until the end. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
