“The Lord will go forth like a warrior, He will
arise His zeal like a man of war.
He will utter
a shout, yes, he will rise a war cry. He will
prevail against his enemies.” [Isaiah 42:13]
Like the
Gladiators in the time of the Roman Empire,
you
are in a battle for God where a single mistake
can be fatal.
"Be alert, be on watch!
Your enemy, the Devil, roams around
like a roaring lion, looking for someone to
devour." (1Pe 5:8)
The Roman Gladiators could never afford to
become
lazy or lax in the battle. Neither can you!
"We want each of you to show this same diligence
to the very end, in order to make your hope
sure. We do not want you to become lazy, but
imitate those who through faith and patience
inherit what has been promised." [Hebrew 6:11,12]
Compared to the Roman Gladiators, the stakes
you face for God are much higher.
Satan's evil horde is not merely looking to
steal your life. They want your soul!
"The thief comes only in
order to steal, kill, and destroy." (Joh
10:10)
"For we are not fighting
against human beings but against the wicked
spiritual forces in
the heavenly world, the rulers, authorities,
and cosmic powers of this dark age." (Eph
6:12)
Your God
and King is calling all Gladiators!
Will you answer?
"Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white
horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful
and True, and in righteousness He judges and
makes war. His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on
His head were many crowns. He had a name written
that no one knew except Himself. He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood,
and His name is called The Word of God. And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine
linen, white and clean, followed Him on white
horses." (Revelation 19:11-14)
Do you hear the war cry
of our God and King? . . .
It is the call for His Gladiators to forsake
their worldly idols and approach
their
destinies with unquenchable
fires burning in their hearts.
This call is not only
a call to break free from grip of the enemy, but
to rise up against it
as Gladiators for God. Take up your
spiritual armor and with instant obedience
press
diligently forward towards your purpose and
destiny.
Will you
stand up as a Gladiator for God?
Our call is a call to
Christ likeness.
Gladiators for God
are to wholeheartedly love righteousness and
fervently hate sin. Anytime we decide to coexist
with the enemy, it will leave us ashamed and desolate.
Gladiators for God are to be
part of an army that,
as it follows Christ,
bravely initiates spiritual
warfare against the evil hordes of hell.
"From the day of John the Baptist until now, the
kingdom of heaven has been forcefully advancing,
and forceful men lay hold of it." [Matthew 11:12]
Gladiators... while
you are thinking . . .
ponder the following:
"If you don’t climb the mountain, you can’t
see the view."
"No-one ever climbed a hill by just looking at
it."
"If you aim at nothing, you will hit it
every time."
"Ideas are funny things -
they don’t work unless
you do."
"Our ship would come much sooner if we’d only
swim out to meet it."
"Fear of criticism is the kiss of death in the
courtship of achievement."
"You can never get much of anything done
unless
you go ahead and do it before you are ready!"

Remember that the
Commander of the
Lord's army
will be with the Gladiators for God to
lead you where you
ought to go.
While Joshua was
near Jericho, he
suddenly saw a man
standing in front of
him, holding a
sword. Joshua went
up to him and asked,
"Are you one of our
soldiers, or an
enemy?"
"Neither,"
the man answered. "I
am here as the
commander of the LORD's army." [Jos
5:13]
This
Commander of
the Lord's army
is
the Lord God Jesus himself!
Joshua threw himself
on the ground in
worship and said, "I
am your servant,
sir. What do you
want me to do?" And
the commander of the
LORD's army told
him, "Take your
sandals off; you are
standing on holy
ground." And Joshua
did as he was told.
[Jos 5:14-15]
Christian, you
too, can be a Gladiator for God.
You too, should
clothe yourself with
the spiritual armor
and press forward as
a Gladiator to
claim the territory
that God has
pre-destined for
your inheritance.
"Put on all the
armor that God gives
you, so that you
will be able to
stand up against the
Devil's evil tricks.
For we are not
fighting against
human beings but
against the wicked
spiritual forces in
the heavenly world,
the rulers,
authorities, and
cosmic powers of
this dark age.
So put on God's
armor now! Then when
the evil day comes,
you will be able to
resist the enemy's
attacks; and after
fighting to the end,
you will still hold
your ground." [Eph
6:11-13]
Gladiators for God
don't look back, but
go forward into
obtaining the fullness of the
promises of Jesus.
"I
press toward the
mark for the prize
of the high calling
of God in Christ
Jesus." [Phi 3:14]
"For we fix our
attention, not on
things that are
seen, but on things
that are unseen.
What can be seen
lasts only for a
time, but what
cannot be seen lasts
forever." [2Co 4:18]
