“In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” Judges 17:6.
Leadership is always the problem and leadership is always the solution. Why? It is because everything rises and falls on leadership.
From our opening scripture, we see that because of the absence of a King in Israel, the people did whatever was right in their eyes. In other words, because there was no clear leader over the people, they lacked guidance.
Leaders determine the direction of the group. So, when God wants to change a nation, He sends a leader. Why does He do that? It is because every call is an answer to prayer. In Judges 3:15, the Bible says, “But when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised them up a deliverer” So, God raised up a deliverer for His people because they cried up to Him in prayer.
It is one thing to have an answer to prayer; it is a greater thing to be an answer to prayer. There are women praying for their husbands to be saved. There are husbands praying for their wives and children to be saved. You can be an answer to their prayer by rising up to take up the responsibility of soul winning. Also, partnering with us as we reach out to our world with the gospel is a way of participating in the responsibility of soul winning.
This is because when that man, woman, boy, girl whom someone has been praying for their salvation gets saved through any of the means through which we are reaching out to our world with the gospel, God has, at that point, made you an answer to prayer because you were a part of it. It is a greater testimony. Therefore, be an answer to prayer.
Prayer.
Dear Father, I thank You for saving me and giving me the ministry of reconciliation so that I can be an answer to prayer. I believe that the gospel is Your saving power. Therefore, I ask that, as I reach out to my world with the gospel today, their hearts are receptive to the message, and the blindness in their hearts is taken away in Jesus' Name. Amen.
For further study, read:
2 Corinthians 5:17-20, Acts 26:17-18, Colossians 4:2-4.
Doing the Word.
Reach out to someone around you with the gospel today.
