November 2026 – ATTENTION!
In the military, there’s a term they use and it’s called “ attention”. When the soldiers hear that word, they are to stop what they are doing, wherever they are, and give their undivided attention to the superior or commanding officer at that time. It serves multiple purposes, the first being the obvious. The other is a disciplinary technique. It teaches the soldier that at that moment, there’s nothing more pressing than giving your undivided attention to your superior.
As I pondered this, I thought about the church. I think about the enemy’s tactics, where he is using every way imaginable to keep the attention of the body of Christ so our Commanding Officer, our King of kings, does not have our attention. We are living in the most pressing of times. It’s vital that the church is at attention now more than ever, because we need to be able to hear very clear instructions as the Lord gives them. We need to be able to know what our next orders are, because we need to win the next battle that’s in front of us. If we do not teach ourselves to give our attention to the King, we will be going into battles without clear instructions, clear direction and certainly without a clear path to victory.
In conclusion, as long as we train ourselves to give the King our undivided attention, He will always be the victor because He already has the battle plans drawn up. It’s impossible for you to lose when you have given your attention to the Master, and you have the clear battle plan in front of you!
