Jesus used 11 men to "fill Jerusalem with this doctrine" and "turn the
world up-side-down." That 11 soon became 10s of
thousands in the first church in Jerusalem.
Only 102 Pilgrims boarded the Mayflower to cross the Atlantic for freedom's
cause. This small group was the seed for the American Colonies.
Three preachers, Solomon Stoddard, Jonathan Edwards and George Whitfield,
were used by God to fan the flames of
America's First Great Awakening, an overwhelming spiritual revival in our nation, which led to
the
Revolution.
Only 3% of the American Colonists sufficed to start the Revolution that
birthed our nation,
now over 300 million strong.
God has repeatedly used just a few praying, preaching, soul-winning, faith-
walking men of
character, strength, backbone and godliness to change the world.
God is still looking for some ordinary men to stand in the gap, to rise
up above their claim to comfort, to be empowered beyond themselves and
to change their families, churches, communities, nation and their world
for Jesus Christ.
I Cor. 1:26
For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the
flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: 27 But God hath
chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath
chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are
mighty; 28 And base things of the world, and things which are despised,
hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought
things that are:
Dads, men, are you willing to be one of the few good men for whom God is
looking?
