https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartermaster

In the United States Army, the term is used to describe all supply personnel and units that are part of the United States Army Quartermaster Corps (USQMC) which was formerly the Quartermaster Department. It is a Sustainment, formerly combat service support (CSS), branch of the United States Army. It is also one of three U.S. Army logistics branches, the others being the Transportation Corps and the Ordnance Corps.

Quartermaster is a military term, the meaning of which depends on the country and service. In land armies, a quartermaster is generally a relatively senior soldier who supervises stores or barracks and distributes supplies and provisions. In many navies, a quartermaster is an officer with particular responsibility for steering and signals. The seaman is a non-commissioned officer (petty officer) rank; in some others, it is not a rank but a role related to navigation.

The term appears to derive from the title of a German royal official, the Quartiermeister. This term meant "master of quarters" (where "quarters" refers to lodging or accommodation). Alternatively, it could have been derived from "master of the quarterdeck" where the helmsman and captain controlled the ship. The term's first use in English was as a naval term, which entered English in the 15th century via the equivalent French and Dutch naval titles quartier-maître and kwartier-meester, respectively. The term began to refer to army officers in English around 1600.

OUR STRATEGY AS THE BODY OF CHRIST..

By LAND (Everyday Life and Living); 

By AIR (Media/Airwaves, Social Media and Personal/Professional Leadership Influence) and; 

By SEA (World Wide Web/Internet).

COMMANDING OCCUPANCY "POSTURE":

- PRAY and INTERCEDE (your agreement with Heaven's Agenda will accelerate progress)

- STUDY and MEDITATE (don't stop learning and pursuing relentlessly)

- REPENT and SHIFT (change whenever His Grace is made available) 

- SERVE and MINISTER (depend upon the Supernatural)

RETALIATORY FORCES (humanistic or satanic) are greatly limited and restricted when WISDOM and RIGHTEOUSNESS increases amongst the people of God! 

READ Proverbs 28:1-2:  

"The wicked flee when no man pursueth; But the righteous are bold as a lion. For the transgression of a land many are the princes thereof; But by men of understanding and knowledge the state thereof shall be prolonged."  Proverbs‬ ‭28‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭ASV‬‬

"The wicked run away when no one is chasing them, but the godly are as bold as lions. When there is moral rot within a nation, its government topples easily. But wise and knowledgeable leaders bring stability."

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭28‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The WICKED vs The RIGHTEOUS

"The wicked" is NOT someone you don't like, don't agree with, or don't get along with..The wicked are those whose dark heart intentions, evil pursuits, and self-serving plans of action both disagrees and disrupts God's Plans and Purposes 

The lamp of the wicked, also referred to as "the light of the wicked" (Job 18:5, ESV), signifies the prosperity that is enjoyed by many evil people in this world. The lamp of the wicked is that which causes them to "shine" in the world; it is a poetic description of their happiness, wealth, honor, and respected status. Their spiritual condition is dark, but they enjoy a spark of glory despite their evil hearts. The lamp of the wicked is also mentioned in Job 21:17, Proverbs 13:9, and Proverbs 24:20.

Sadly, the light of the lamp of the wicked man's wealth and success will eventually go out, revealing the utter hopelessness of his condition. Proverbs 13:9 contrasts the lamp of the wicked to the light and life of the righteous:

"The light of the righteous shines brightly,

but the lamp of the wicked is snuffed out."

The contrast between the righteous and the wicked could not be plainer: the glory and success of the righteous will last, as opposed to the fleeting splendor of the wicked. An evil man may enjoy his "fifteen minutes of fame," but the godly will celebrate a triumph that lasts into perpetuity. The Amplified Bible brings out the contrast more strongly:  "The light of the righteous [within him—grows brighter and] rejoices, But the lamp of the wicked [is a temporary light and] goes out."

We have a treasure in earthen vessels, "for God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ" (2 Corinthians 4:6). Those who have the light of the gospel shining in their hearts and the illumination of spiritual knowledge have a light of joy that will never be extinguished. Their light will shine eternally, a light like that of the sun, bright with warmth. But the light of the wicked is dim and dull by comparison. Their prosperity is short-lived, their joys momentary, and the pleasures derived from sin but for a season. The ultimate end of the righteous is to live eternally in the New Jerusalem, which "does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp" (Revelation 21:23). The lamp of wicked, however, will be extinguished, leaving them forever in "outer darkness" (Matthew 8:12).

Job, in his argument with his "comforters," notes that often evil men live and prosper just as long as righteous men, and their evil deeds are not always recompensed in this life: "How often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out? How often does calamity come upon them, the fate God allots in his anger?" (Job 21:17). Job is saying that God withholds His wrath upon the wicked, and many may prosper in this life. The answer to Job's question "how often is the lamp of the wicked snuffed out?" is "not always." Many continue to prosper in this life, but Scripture promises that justice will prevail (see Psalm 73).

Therefore, Proverbs 24:19–20 tells us, we are not to despair when we see evildoers prosper in this life: "Do not fret because of evildoers

or be envious of the wicked, for the evildoer has no future hope, and the lamp of the wicked will be snuffed out."

The wicked have no hope of everlasting happiness, a condition for which they should be pitied, not resented. They have their good things now, but their just rewards lie ahead (see Luke 16:25). They are not to be envied. The lamp of the wicked is of short duration. The godly are in a much more blessed condition:  "You, LORD, keep my lamp burning;

my God turns my darkness into light" (Psalm 18:28).> END. WS-3
