God’s Generals - Who Are They and Why Have Some Failed? - Glory Ministries with Apostle P. Sibiya

Who are ‘God’s Generals’? Do you recall that old Sunday School song ‘I’m in the Lord’s Army’? Many will still remember the words they sang as a child though they are now adults!

“I may never march in the infantry, ride in the cavalry, shoot the artillery, I may never fly o’er the enemy, but I’m in the Lord’s army!” As kids, we sang these words loudly, along with all the actions, eager to be on the Lord’s side. Every child has a God-given dream to achieve greatness and what could be better than being a general in the army of God?

You won’t find that description in the Bible though, but you will read about Old Testament patriarchs, kings, priests, and prophets and New Testament apostles. These are the great leaders of the Bible, many of which are mentioned in Hebrews 11, the chapter that is referred to as ‘God’s Hall of Faith’.

‘God’s Generals’ is a term that was propelled by William Booth the first General of Salvation Army and then made popular by Roberts Liairdon through his best-selling series of the same name which records extraordinary testimonies of pioneering men and women of God who have in the past two centuries laid the foundation for today’s Spirit-filled Church and its never-ending missionary outreach.

In today’s context then, God’s Generals are those who achieved greatness for God’s Kingdom as apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors or leaders. “And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ, till we all come to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God…” (Ephesians 4:11-13)

Often they took what light God gave them and sought to follow Him with that light. A lot of attention has been given to those who fell into error, but there are as many who worked tirelessly for God and ended well. We desire to "give faces" to those Kingdom Generals.
