ONE MAN IS ALL GOD NEEDS TO START

Genesis 6:8 (AMP)           But Noah found favor and grace in the eyes of the Lord.

In the sixth chapter of Genesis, our beloved Heavenly Father is angry at humanity for the wickedness and evil He constantly sees in the beautiful world He took ample time to create in light. To this, He takes a drastic decision to destroy the very man He created in His own image and likeness to be fruitful, to multiply and to have dominion. But, according to the same chapter, one man found favor and grace in the eyes of the Lord; not two or three men. JUST ONE MAN!

The Lord had made up His mind, but He was also not ready to destroy the only man who was going against the norm of that evil generation. So, He decided to use the very destruction at hand to raise the only man. For example, the same cross that brought doom to wicked men was the same cross that brought Glory to our savior Jesus Christ. In the case of Noah, the same water that drowned all men and animals was the same water that kept Him above the destruction. (NB: my concentration is on Noah, not his family)

It is not a mistake or a waste of time that you are the only one who seems to be going against the evil norm wherever you find yourself. It is not a mistake that you are the only one not taking bribe in that office. It is not a mistake that you are the only one not stealing from your boss. It is not a mistake that you are the only one not sleeping around with every single lady or gentleman you tag as a girl/boyfriend. It is not a mistake that you have decided to be faithful to God. It is not a mistake or a waste of time.

Do not forget the teaching of Jesus on the mountain. You are the Light of the World. It is your responsibility to make your Light shine in the space (world) you find yourself. Your Light is not meant to shine in the church building. Your Light must shine in the world. The world is your office, your house, your school, your society, your family, your school clubs, etc. God needs you to shine your Light there so He gets the glory from men. You are the man/woman He is looking for in that family, church, society, office, etc; no one else.

I know the path looks lonely, but I can promise you this: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. 

God is not in need of an army, He only needs one man in the family, society, school, or church to make that difference. 

He has carefully done His search in that family, society, church, office, etc and one man/woman has found favor and grace in His eyes. That man/woman is YOU. 

You are the Noah He wants to covenant with to save that family, society, church, office, etc. 

You are the Noah He wants to covenant with to build that ark for the family, society, church, office, etc.

The question is simple: LIKE NOAH, ARE YOU READY TO DO ALL THAT THE LORD WILL COMMAND YOU?

Remain in the blessings of the Lord as you remain in Christ.
