Uncommon Faith Invites the Extraordinary


Men in Ministry living for God mentoring disciples to be the next generation of leaders, requires uncommon faith. A leader in the church, by the definition of leader, will be mentoring the next group of leaders. To win the nations for Christ, multiply yourself. Leave the work to someone else and it will not get done. This all takes uncommon faith. Faith that is above the norm, passive and just get along or just get “in” attitude.

Extraordinary results can be one more soul saved and working for Christ in the Kingdom. Jesus said; “The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few” Matthew 9:37. The workers are few they are an elite group of Kingdom Workers. This being the case a worker will produce extraordinary results.

As a leader your uncommon faith, the faith to mentor a disciple will produce extraordinary results for the Kingdom of God.

The Apostles exhibited uncommon faith as they immediately followed Jesus and obeyed Him. This is a powerful example.

Uncommon faith is the father who prays with and over his children. Uncommon faith is spending an hour each day, first fruits, with the Lord in Prayer. Uncommon faith is working in the local church with Pastor, behind the scenes, to help the ministry go. Uncommon faith is carrying your Bible everywhere you go. Giving testimony to the stranger is uncommon faith. Uncommon faith is the wife consistently praying her husband into the Kingdom.

God will always honor the act of uncommon faith. A number of years ago, on a Sunday evening I was sitting in my home office, reading the Bible. There was a small window in the office, which faced the street. The distance from the house to the street was about thirty feet. A person walking by the front of the house could see me sitting in the office but certainly would not be able to discern what I was doing.

A neighbor drove by the house. Let us call him Mike. He was a friend his wife served the Lord faithfully she was consistently praying him into the Kingdom. She exhibited the uncommon faith of a wife praying for her husband. Two or three days later I came to find out that Mike had accepted the Lord. When asked what prompted him to make this commitment, he answered; “I was driving home and saw Frank reading his Bible in his office.” No way! His human eyes could not have possibly seen the Bible. The Holy Spirit, because of his wife’s uncommon faith, moved him to see what God wanted him to see. He now serves our Lord.

"Therefore go and make disciples of all nations..." Matthew 28: 19.

Uncommon Faith Invites the Extraordinary!
