“No Limit for World Changers”
It is much easier to stand behind someone and follow them rather than
to stand out and it is uncomfortable to stand alone. It takes great courage to
be a leader, to be admired, and needed. Although so much is required, everyone
has the capacity to change the world. There are multiple God-fearing leaders
that many admire today, Martin Luther King jr., Mahatma Gandhi, and Billy
Graham. But also many great leaders from much farther back in time, such as
David, Moses, and Noah who are still admired today. It is not possible that any
of these men would’ve known that God would’ve allowed them to reach their full
potential. It is also not possible for them to have known that they would
rebuild their communities or cleanse the hearts of nations, however, it was God’s
love and mercy that allowed them to be such powerful leaders and creators of
change.
Many profound leaders in the Bible did not have humble
beginnings. Adam, Eve, Sarah, Jacob, Saul, to name a few, had fell from grace
on many occasions (Hebrews 11). It was God’s love and redemption that caused a
drastic change in each of their lives. Leading their lives by God’s example and
giving God a “yes” no matter their uncertainty in any situation, allowed for
them to change whole nations. Noah, alone, was tasked with saving the entire
human race and animal kingdom, and without fail he obediently listened to God
and was successful (Genesis 6:13-22). Moses killed a man before he saved all of
Israel (Exodus 2:11-22). David, who was one of the greatest leaders of Israel,
committed murder and adultery, but through God’s salvation he turned his life
around and was able to usher in unity and God’s word amongst the people of
Israel (Psalm 133).
God does not want perfection from us. Many great leaders
had their shortcomings but these great leaders were successful because they
listened to God as he guided them through plagues, spiritual, and physical
warfare. To change your community or the world you do not need to slay giants
or save nations, you need to lean and depend on God. Psalm 27:1 says,“The Lord
is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of
my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”. With God all things are possible. In all
of your wrong doing, by seeking God’s forgiving kindness and mercy he will
allow you to redesign yourself, people, and whole nations to reflect his will.
God has set no bounds that does not allow his followers to not be leaders. He
in fact has encouraged us to be leaders (Genesis 1:26). To be strong willed and
proclaim him as Christ our lord. In these challenging times where the devil is
running rampant and confusion is omnipresent, there is no limit for world
changers (Romans 12:4–6; 2 Chronicles 16:9).
