YOUR DUTY!

LUKE 9: 60

"Jesus told them, YOUR DUTY is to go and preach about the kingdom of God!"

Are you a good soldier in the army of God? Jesus has said to you, "Come and follow me". Have you done it? In our One Truth Today the Lord has even given you your marching orders! There is no question or ambiguity about what He expects you to do. YOUR DUTY is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God! If God has called you and given you the gift of eternal life, then you have an obligation to listen to your Lord and Master. He does not want you to first complete some task that you feel has precedence over your duty to God! Your first and foremost duty is to go and preach about the Kingdom of God!

Once you have begun your duty to God and His Kingdom, the Lord has a further admonition for you. "Anyone who has put his hand to the plow and then looks back, is not fit for the Kingdom of God". In other words, do not look back or behind you, instead keep your path straight for the Kingdom of God. If you join the army of God, there should be no desertion or disobedience. YOUR DUTY is to be always faithful and trustworthy and never stop preaching about the Kingdom of God. Never let the world or its cares and concerns deter you from your number one task. Preaching about the Kingdom of God is the most important thing that you do!

If you want to be a disciple of Jesus Christ the Lord God, then you must walk like him and always follow His path. You are to become more like Jesus every day. This is more important than family problems, your job, the economy or anything else. Publish His message every day and in every way that you can. Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel of the Lord. Keep the Lord first in everything that you say and do. Your very life belongs to God, act like it! If you want to know what the Lord expects from you it is simple, DO YOUR DUTY!
