Lesson 3: I AM PROPERTY OF GOD/I AM A SOLDIER OF GOD

On Saturday, May 1, 2010, Ruben continued his lesson and finished up on the book “Who I am in Christ” by wrapping up KEY POINTS # 2 –8. But for the matter of this blog, we will focus on Key Point # 2 – I AM PROPERTY OF GOD (1 John 5:19-20) and # 8 - I AM A SOLDIER OF GOD. KEY POINT # 2- He started by defining the word property as something that is bought, something you work for, something that belongs to you/own, or something you have dominion of.
He used THE PERFECT example: Gods greatest demonstration of love, giving His son Jesus Christ for our salvation. What does this mean? Well…, in this act of sacrifice, God purchase OUR life in the cross. Thereby, making us only His and because of that, He has the authority to rule over our life.
Once we understand that our life belongs to God then, we will understand that we need to consult with Him in everything we plan or want to do and every decision we make will be based on Him.
Does it matter the type of decision? Of course not! You can ask God to guide you in everything or anything you want. In fact, you should consult with Him first regardless of the subject. For example, it can be anything from asking Him to guide you to make the best decision in the purchase of your next car/house, or school you should attend to, the next job you take or about marrying someone. In all situations, we should seek for Gods PERFECT WILL to be done in our lives. WHY? SIMPLY BECAUSE… HE IS THE ABSOLUTE OWNER OF YOUR LIFE AND MY LIFE.
Ruben further explained that God it is either black or white. THEREFORE, THERE IS NO ROOM FOR A GRAY AREA! We are with God or we are against God! And because of that, everything that you are and do, you do it because of Him and for Him.
As the night continued, Ruben continued to explain the remaining 6 key points left that were mentioned back in April 10, 2010, in Lesson # 2 Gifts of Love.
But before we leave let me share something that Ruben is passionate about: our walk with Christ as soldiers. KEY POINT # 8: I AM A SOLDIER OF CHRIST (2 Timothy 2:3-4). If you already come to the meetings, you will know exactly what I am talking about (In the movie “300” Gerald Butler screams: SPARTA, in “c2C” Ruben Morales screams: JESUS!!!) If not, then please stop by and come see it for yourself. See Ruben, we learned! ;) But for now, let me leave you with the following statement written by Ruben himself:
“If you are called a Soldier, it is because there is an Army and a battle to win. We each face different battles, it can be the battle of faith, an unsaved loved one, a job, your school, your kids, your ministry, your work, time, etc..NO MATTER WHAT YOUR BATTLE IS, It is a PRIVILEGE to be enrolled in the Divine Army. Although there are many advantages of being part of it, the best advantage is that we will ALWAYS be victorious in the name of Jesus Christ. Our Father, the Commanding Officer gives us the guarantee of victory & honor at all times. The soldier that fights honorably will receive recognition by God. To become a good soldier we need to fight the battle of faith and take dominion of the flesh. So, what are the weapons of a good soldier? There are five: The Word of God, Prayer, Fasting, the Blood of Jesus Christ and a good testimony. All Soldiers receive honor, BUT the brave soldiers will receive more honor; therefore, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT the battle against the flesh and receive the crown of eternal life."
