A story is told of an encounter that happened many years ago between an air hostess and a Christian gentleman who was traveling in the first class section.
The air hostess approached him with a complimentary drink, this was an alcoholic drink, but the man politely refused. The air hostess returned but this time brought the drink on a platter, designed to appeal and impress. However, the Christian man again politely refused, explaining he doesn’t drink alcohol.
The air hostess was concerned and informed her head who approached the man with another platter, now designed with flowers. He questioned, “Is there something wrong with our service? Please enjoy the drink,” it is a complimentary offer.” The man replied, “I am a Christian and I do not drink alcohol”. The cabin crew head still insisted that the man take the drink. Then, the Christian proposed that he should give the drink to the pilot first. The cabin crew head stated, “How can the pilot drink alcohol, he’s on duty!”. And if he drinks there are all chances for the plane to crash”.
The Christian passenger with tears in his eyes, replied, “I am a Christian and I am always on duty in order to protect my FAITH”.
My conviction is that if I drink alcohol I will crash my whole life here and thereafter. I AM 100% ON DUTY!”
Maybe yours might not be an alcohol, it may be temptation to having sex as it was done to Joseph, battling with how to control your anger, engaging in profane and vain babblings, your attitude towards people. It may even been the failure to stand up as a Christian that you are when it matters most and failing to share the Word! Do you know that souls are dying because of those reckless behaviour of ours?.
Beloved we are 100% on duty everyday, anytime and everywhere.
