THE STRANGER IN A FOREIGN COUNTRY 1
Once Upon a
time, there lived a Great King in a far away kingdom. One day
he called his servants and said ‘I am passionate about a community and I desire
to send two persons among you who will go to the community and tell them the
vision I have for them. The duties of these ones that will be sent include:
they should tell the community about me and my kingdom; even though my precept
might varies with theirs.
Also they
should establish my kingdom so that at the fullness of time, I shall be glad
that I did.
But I must
not fail to warn of the challenges you must encounter, because I have an
arch-enemy who has determine to counter my mission, so you must be careful of
his wiles and deception. You must remember you are a stranger in the country I
am sending you, so be on guard and watch so that you will not be sway by the
tactics of the enemy. The man called to be a soldier should not entangle
himself with the affairs of the civilian, so that he may please Him who has enlisted
him into the army.
Remember I
have made you a light-bearer so be on guard against the works of darkness. I know
the deceiver will try to entice you with the beauties and glories of his dark
kingdom that never last. But remember you must
fix your eyes not on the things seen but the things unseen, for the
things seen are temporal but the things unseen are eternal.
I am given
you authority to mach upon scorpion and serpent and the powers of the enemy and
nothing by any means shall hot you.
Finally I
must not fail to tell you that there is rewards to those who will be faithful
with the mission and also punishment to those who will unfaithful or join
forces with the enemy to give everyman according as his works shall be. I am
sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be shrewd as snakes and as
innocent as doves.
Keep a date with us for the second
series of the sermon. Share this with other faithful.
