Bruce Olson was one of the most daring missionaries that ever lived.
He was born into a wealthy family, however, after he got born again, his parents became concerned about his Christian zeal and passion. In 1959, when he was nineteen years old, Bruce Olson felt God calling him to bring the Gospel to a stone-age tribe in the jungles of South America.
When he told his wealthy parents his intention to obey the call, they were furious and accused him and the Church he attended of being brainless “holy rollers.”
His parents were angered because Bruce was already a . linguist genius, fluent in Hebrew, Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, and other languages. Their original plan was for him to become a language professor in an American University. Going to the jungle of South America was absurd.
However, Bruce remained determined to obey God.
With little money, he left his home in Minnesota to travel into the interior of South American jungles.
Bruce had no missionary training, no financial support, no knowledge of the languages he needed, and when he arrived in Caracas, no one met him. Missionaries who earlier promised help had changed their minds. They disapproved of his lack of denominational credentials. He was abandoned and penniless, yet God’s Presence surrounded him as he began his evangelistic work among the primitive tribes.
Through God’s help this nineteen year old boy became the first missionary to visit the savage Motolone Indian tribe and survive. He succeeded where older missionaries did not. Bruce Olson went on to become one of the greatest missionaries in modern history.

The truth is that when God is with you no matter how disadvantaged you may be, you will surely succeed against all odds.

Sometimes when God gives us an assignment, it may appear as if we are the least qualified for the task
When God told Moses to go and deliver the people of Israel, Moses felt inadequate especially because of his stutter. When God told Jeremiah that he was going to be a prophet to the nations, Jeremiah told God, ‘ I can’t do it. I’m too young.’
Like Jeremiah and Moses, we may worry about our limitations, but the Faithful One that called us is able to do His will through us. What is more important is for us to be rightly positioned spiritually for the flow of God’s Spirit.

In a very real sense none of us is ever qualified to do God’s work..
Success in ministry is not about our ability, it’s about our availability. When we are willing to follow God and obey His call, God will work through us to accomplish His divine agenda.
It is not about our strength, it is about the grace of God that works in us.
You may not have enough money, enough education, or human support, but what matters to God is that you have the right heart.
When you have a heart that desires to please God, and you make yourself available, He will work in and through you to accomplish His wonders on the earth.
It is God who works in us both to will and to do of His good pleasure.

When we give God the throne of our heart, He will secure for us a throne on the earth. When we are lost in His will, He will be lost in our welfare.
Therefore today, no matter the overwhelming odds, keep your focus on God’s divine power and ability.
As we keep blessing the Lord at all times and remain obedient to His Word, surely, He will bypass every limitations to work amazing wonders through us in this season..

PRAYER: Lord, please help me to stop worrying about my limitations.. Help me to see indeed that through Christ I can do all things in Jesus Name. .
