Are you a Gadite?
The Gadites were the “lion-faced” men of 1 Chronicles 21:8-14. They were valiant in warfare and trained to implement what they have been taught. Their secret was that they were “sold out” and their heart was in the one that they followed. These 11 men were David’s finest generals. They had no reserve and no retreat as part of their M.O. In Jeremiah 35 we see the Rechabites. These were men that obeyed the commandment not to drink wine; even when it was presented to them as an option they refused because they were following a settled precept. We see a secret here with these men; they were fully persuaded and had cancelled out any other option but to follow. Their heart was captured in truth. Even in failure a series of right decisions always avenges disobedience. The conqueror must first be conquered. Calvary must conqueror every other option to retreat or any other path of convenience. Love must conqueror any fear of self preservation. What are your options today? God has set before you life or death, what will you choose? Let Gods love and Grace capture your heart today, victory is prepared for you today! Follow on to know the Lord” in Hosea 6:3 and Gods love will give hind’s feet in high places in Hab 3:19.
