When we considered the make-up of this army that the Lord is raising at the end-time among youths, we saw that they consist of young and militant people with the various characteristics that qualify them into the squad. We saw that it is an army pursing a definite and selfless cause. This brings us to go into more details of what the vision and mission of this God arranged and ordained army is. We will begin by looking at the meaning of the terms “vision” and “mission” and then discuss what the young militant end-time army is out for.
Explanation of ‘vision’ and ‘mission’
We want to see vision as it relates to our theme as having an appropriate cause or purpose taking up the mind. We have seen from the teachings we have already had that the young militant soldier pursues a particular cause or objective selflessly. The vision is such that must consume them. Jesus had a vision of saving the world, reconciling sinners back to God. When there is a vision, all other things in life must all work towards achieving that vision. This vision sparks off a mission, a performance of that objective, cause or purpose. It is a propeller. Jesus’ mission on earth was that of dying on the cross for the sinner thereby fulfilling his vision of saving them (cons. Heb. 10:4-17; Matt. 1:21).
Now, if the Lord is urgently raising a young militant end-time army, then there must be a strong cause or purpose for this which is expected to be accomplished urgently within a very short and specific time. What is this vision and mission? Let’s look into this.
The Vision and Mission of the Young Militant End-time Army
Every true Watchman Youth and in fact all serious minded Christians know that we are just at the tail end of time and that sooner than many think, the curtain of time and activities will be drawn (Rom. 13:11, 12). The Lord is doing a rounding off work to ensure that all that should partake of the rapture are prepared hence the eleventh hour business. He has given out to be carried out. It is expected that all watchman youths have this vision of the Lord in their heart and be able to recite it to all and sundry just at the snap of fingers. This vision as given to the servant of the Lord, the crusader of the three-fold end-time Project include:
To bring Jacob again to Him (Isa. 49:5). Prophet Isaiah vowed not to rest nor allow God any rest until backslidden Israel (Jacob) be brought back to God (Isa. 62:1-5). Today’s Jacob, the Christian Church, who was once Christlike but now gone deeper in backslidding must be brought back to God.
To raise up the tribe of Jacob who meanwhile is walking by different doct rines, practices unto true biblical standard (Is. 49:6).
To restore the preserved of Israel (Is. 49:6). Today this involves essential Christian virtues, principles and practices back to the church of the Living God (Heb. 12:14; 1Pt. 2:11; 1Jn. 2:15-17; 1Tim. 6:3).
To be a light to the gentiles referring to all sinners including youths and children (Is. 49:6; Acts 26:17-19).
To be God’s means of salvation unto the ends of the earth (Is. 49:6). He is using the International Gospel Ministers’ Conference of the hour to achieve this.
This programme/vision of the Lord carries along with it the three fold end-time project and the five fold vision which the Watchman originally received from the Lord. The vision is in fact the heart beat of the Lord seeing it must be before the rapture. The mission or duty of executing this vision is an urgent one. The urgency with which it is to be attended can be likened to the manner in which the Israelites ate the pass-over in Egypt (Ex. 12:11).
Watchman youths who are enlisting into this army must take it as serious as the Lord is doing. The fact that the make up of the army He is raising among youths must be young (teachable, flexible in his hands, focussed, available, leadable, etc) and militant (to face a cause without distraction, resist bulwarks of error, destroy all Jezebelic towers, open and enter all gates and everlasting doors set up by Satan and deliver and release all preys of the terrible and captives of the mighty) as discussed in one of the teachings is not without a cause. This vision and mission of the Lord must be and is the vision and mission of the young militant end-time army being raised. He is at this programme putting them in the shape required of the army for the end-time battle through the message on the Dress-Code of the army. The weapons for the battle and the exploits expected of them are all made clear and have assurance of victory given by the vision giver (2Chro. 20:20; Zech. 4:6,7).
Recently, the Lord informed us through the man of God in this Movement that His Spirit is moving (all over the world). This is to facilitate the work. Today ask for the Spirit of the vision and the Vision giver, and let the Spirit of God empower you for the mission of the eleventh hour business and end-time battle.
