I met a man at a breakfast meeting yesterday who told me a great story about his dad. This man was a home builder who wanted to sell his business, including a building along a major highway. No one was interested. So he took the building off he market. At his church he met a missionary who felt called to go to upstate New York to plant a church. The missionary asked the retired builder to go with him and help. The builder decided to “put out the fleece”. He said, “If I sell my business by next Saturday, I’ll go with you. That week, the builder was approached by a person who wanted to open a “Curves” fitness studio. This person asked the price and wrote a check. By the Saturday in question, the check had cleared, so the builder got in his motorhome and moved to New York.
What would the Lord have to do for you to send you where he wants you? Jesus said that unless we forsake all and follow Him, we CANNOT be His disciple. Are you a disciple of Jesus or just a church member? It doesn’t mean that you have to move, it just means that you must be willing to move if He wants you to. When he cast the demons out of the man in the Gaderenes, Jesus told him to go home and tell his loved ones what Jesus had done for him. You will never know that you are where God wants you to be until you are willing to go anywhere for Him. And the most important thing is not geography. It is obedience. Fish for people where you are and God will show you if He wants you to move. Are you a disciple of Jesus Christ? If so, then you are a fisher of men and you are willing to go wherever He wants you to go. Are you? Think about it!
