...As history bears out, this is a remarkably accurate description of Alexander the
Great who was the mastermind behind the Grecian Empire. It is said that he would
have his armies march for days on end simply to surprise the enemy.
Interestingly, as Alexander was marching on Persia, it looked as if the great empire
was about to crumble, as it later did before his armies. There was a critical moment,
however, which nearly resulted in disaster. The army had taken spoils of silver, gold,
and other treasures in such quantities that the soldiers were literally weighed down
with them.
Alexander gathered all the treasures together in one great pile and set them on fire.
The soldiers were furious, but it was not long before they realized the wisdom of
their leader. It was as if wings had been given to them—they walked lightly again.
The campaign proceeded to victory.
Brethren, if we expect to have victory in our proclamation of the Gospel, we must
first relieve ourselves of the things of this world. They will weigh us down. A good
soldier of Jesus Christ must never entangle “himself with the affairs of this life;
that he may please Him Who Hath Chosen him to be a soldier” (II Tim. 2:4).
Armed with This Truth, we must also follow Paul who is the divine example
today of how to properly evangelize the lost to Christ.
