Dr. William Leslie was an American medical missionary to the Yansi people, a remote tribe in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In 1912 after he felt the call of God to bring the Gospel to the unreached tribal people, Dr. Leslie traveled through the jungle, spreading the Gospel and started the first organized educational system in these villages. But after 17 years of ministry, he hardly made any converts among the Yansi people. Discouraged, Dr. William Leslie returned to America in 1929, believing he had failed to make an impact for Christ in his mission. He died nine years after his return.
Eighty-four years later, a new team of missionaries attempted to reach the same group of Yansi people. Arriving there in 2010, a team from Tom Cox World Ministries was stunned to find a vibrant network of Churches in the dense jungle region. Thousands of people had come to Christ, planting eight Churches in each of the villages in the region.
The team was baffled about how these remote people could have received the Gospel until they heard the story of Dr. William Leslie, who had first brought the Gospel to their village. Dr. William Leslie had died disappointed and discouraged, never knowing the good seeds he had sown would one day germinate into these flourishing interior Churches.
In carrying out God’s assignment for our lives, we will often encounter various discouraging situations. But we must refuse to stay down, but rather keep rising and moving forward. The truth is that you are never a failure until you quit.
Many times, we miss out on God’s best because we become impatient with the process that births the promise. And some of the times we feel the need to give up may actually have been when we were closest to our victory. As long as you stay faithful, you will indeed be fruitful. Do not become disheartened because you did not see victory or progress today. Rather, be persistent in your zeal and efforts to obey God. If you will not be weary in well-doing, in due season you will surely reap [Galatians 6:9].
As a believer, you have to have faith in God’s promise that says you shall eat the fruits of your labor. Isaiah 65:22–23 says you shall not build, and another shall inhabit; you shall not plant, and another shall eat. God says, ‘you shall long enjoy the work of your hands, and you shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth for trouble.’ When you are in the right relationship with God, you can always trust the fulfillment of His word. Do not let the enemy, your own thoughts, or anyone else tell you anything different.
By God’s grace, this will be our season of divine rewards. It will be our time to break forth into new levels of health, prosperity, opportunities, and promotions as God’s abundant blessings flow towards us.
PRAYER
Lord, I thank You for the grace and strength to keep pressing forward in every situation. By Your grace, I shall soon see a manifestation of Your amazing promises in my life, in Jesus Name.
