We all love to be young and mighty. Parting the sea, shutting down storms, destroying the mountains, and launching rockets into space. You want to be the one person genius that singlehandedly does great things. But that person doesn’t exist. You can not do great and mighty things alone. To succeed, you need to know what to do, how to do it, and have the ability to do it. It takes so much knowledge, effort, energy and resources to succeed. You end up having to rely on others for their knowledge, effort, energy, and resources.
If we take a closer look at our heroes of faith, we will see that they didn’t do it alone. You start to see the community that powered their excellent results. Moses had an inner circle of Aaron, Miriam, Hur, and Joshua. He also selected leaders at various levels. Moses, by God, led the children of Israel to the promised land. He did not do it alone. David became the captain of 400 soldiers at the cave of Adullam before becoming king. You think you want to change the world like Moses did? Where are your Aaron, Miriam, Hur, and Joshua?
The early believers embodied this principle. Acts 4:23 says, “And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them.” In Acts 9:22-25, Apostle Paul was saved by his followers. They lowered him in a large basket through a window in the wall. It would seem like the only person who singlehandedly tried to do great things for God was Samson. You will need the prayers, knowledge, effort, and resources of others to do what God has asked you to do. You would do well to start building advisory boards, teams, and communities around your calling.
