FOUNDERS' DAY

Greetings dear friends and followers,
Today is a very important day to Salvationists around the world who would follow our history, as on this day 2nd July in 1865 the Christian Mission commenced in London with William Booth and Catherine Booth being anointed of the Lord to be the founders of a movement that would move around the world with the message of the Gospel of Salvation and God's grace.
Of course of special significance was the name change of this movement so in May 1878 this group became known as The Salvation Army, and now ministers in 116 countries with the message being proclaimed in 175 languages.
In this world wide movement there is a work for all who would want be of service to the Lord, and because of this I am reminded of a song I used to sing in church goes like this,: In the ranks of the dear old army, 'neath the yellow, red and blue, there's a place for every warrior if to God you will be true. Your reward will be a grand one, in the sweet by and by, there's a place for every warrior why don't you try, why don't you try? (The Song Book of The Salvation Army)
I am thinking of how the Lord can use whoever says "Yes Lord, I will follow and serve you!
Maybe it is possible that reading this, you feel that you could say yes to the Lord for full time service, within the Offcier ranks of The Salvation Army so joining the 26.032 currently Officers (including retired persons) serving right around the world. As the song says, "Why don't you try?"

Anyhow we are all called to be servants of the Lord and as His friends, we find joy in this service.

I am reminded that Jesus called many to follow Him, this is how He put it;"If anyone serves Me let him follow Me and where I am there My servant will be also. If anyone serves Me, him My Father will honour. (John 12: 22.)

Have a great day you never know it might be possible for you to see a new way which you can serve the Lord, and in Him find graet joy.
