GOD LOOKS FOR ONE MAN

 Many times whenever God wants to accomplish something on earth, He looks for one man He can use. Just imagine if we removed just one man in the New Testament, that is Paul, what a different story that would be. You see just one man made an impact which thousands combined together would not be able. Imagine if in the Christian history you removed men like Martin Luther, John Wesley, George Whitefield or William Booth, the whole of Christian history would change tremendously.

When D.L Mood heard evangelist Henry Varley  in 1873 say these words “ The world has yet to see what God can do with and for and through and in a man who is fully and wholly consecrated to Him.”  These words revolutionized Moody and He became the man that he became.

There are very few people in Christianity who fully yields to God and that is why God is not able to accomplish great things through our lives. Very few people have given their whole bodies to God as we are exhorted in the book of Romans. To give our bodies simply means taking each part of our body and giving it to God, that is, Lord I give my eyes to you, from this day, I will never read anything anywhere that will displease you, in books or social media nor will I ever use my eyes to watch anything be it TV programs or movies that i will cannot invite you to watch together with me. Lord I give my hands to you that they will not sign false statements or write things or do anything that you will not approve of. I give my tongue to you that from this day I will never use it to gossip or criticize or speak lies or judge others or say anything that you will not approve but from henceforth I will use my tongue to encourage, appreciate and  share your word… I give you my ears to only listen to what you would listen and never to gossip,…take each piece of your body the same way and give it to God.

1.       In Jeremiah 5:1, God told Jeremiah to run through the whole city to see if he could find an honest man and he would forgive the city and thus it would not be taken to Babylon. Unfortunately there was no one because we know that the Israelites were taken to Babylon. This is the tragedy in our generation. There are many things that God wants to do but in most cases he finds no one to use.

2.       In Isaiah 59:15-16, God saw the injustices that were happening in Israel and was displeased and He saw that there was no man and wondered why there was no intercessor and therefore he brought judgment. Even today, when we look at the injustices happening around us and in our cities and the country, God is displeased and He is still looking for a man or woman who would intercede but unfortunately what He finds is people who criticize, murmur and tell their neighbors the injustices that happen instead of interceding. Let’s not add to that number.

3.       In Ezekiel 22:23-31, we see the wickedness of the leaders both the political leaders and the religious leaders. God even then was looking for a man who would stand in the gap tween the people and God but He found none and therefore he poured out his wrath against all the evil.

God does not love to pour judgment on His people but He loves to show them mercy, but unfortunately He does not even find one person to stand in the gap.

We need to have a cry in our hearts that God help me, that where I am, if want you to do something and you are looking for someone to use, let me always be found available and usable. Let it never be that you sought for a man in the area where I was and you found no one.
