Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 3 March 2020 – Taking Up the Challenge
Topic: Taking Up the Challenge
Scripture: Judges 1:11-26
Message: Caleb threw a challenge that goes with a reward to whoever that would attack KirjathSepher and take it. The person would take his daughter Achsah as wife. Of all the young men around, it was only Othniel, his younger brother that accepted the challenge. Many other young men around may have shied away because of the task involved. They may have desired Caleb’s daughter as wife but could have been afraid to face the task at hand.
The English have a saying that you cannot make an omelette without breaking an egg. Life is full of challenges. We either face them headlong or shy away from them. Someone must carry out the task. If we run away, nothing will be done or achieved in life, especially for Christ.Many places are unreached for Christ; God is still asking; “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” (Isa. 6:8).
Anglican Daily Fountain Devotional 3 March 2020: Many people are in the mission field struggling to reach souls for Christ but the statement of the Lord that the harvest is plenty but the labourers are few still stareus all in the face(Luke 10:2). Who will take up the challenge today and enlist in the army of Christ. May we all align with Paul that we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us(Phil. 4:13).
Prayer: My Lord, may you move me to take up the challenge of conquering territories for you through reaching souls
