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!
