During the 2004 tsunami, the Indian village of Kovalam was one of the places of the worst devastations. But amazingly no life was lost because of the heroic actions of a Christian priest in the town named Susai Antony.
When the priest noticed the first waves of the tsunami sweeping in, he lost no time in making announcements through the public announcement system, alerting people to immediately vacate their coastal houses. When some people seemed reluctant to heed his warnings, the priest himself went down the seashore and began to force them to move to safety.
As he was frantically hurrying residents of the village away from the shore, the waves struck again and the priest was pulled in by the water. Though people initially thought he had drowned, however, he survived by clinging to the concrete structure of a house.
In the aftermath of the tsunami, about 180 houses and many boats in the coastal village were destroyed or washed away by the invading waves. But all the residents were safe.
This was not case in the villages around them where many lives were lost because they received no early warning of the incoming waves. However, the people of Kovalam village miraculously escaped because of one man’s commitment to warn them and lead them to safety.
Today, it seems as if an evil tsunami is trapping many people in its massive waves. There is an influx of iniquity in the world, like never seen before, and many people are being drowned in it.
As believers we have a responsibility to shine the light of the Gospel into the world and lead men to deliverance..We are called to be watchmen on the wall to stand in the gap and intercede in prayers.
Ezekiel 22:30,31 says ‘And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.’
In these last days, we should make ourselves available to be used by God to save the souls of the perishing.
The coming of Jesus caused the people which sat in darkness to see a great light; and those who sat in the region and shadow of death were saved by His light.[ Matthew 4:16]
And as the Father sent Jesus, so has He sent us to bring the light of the Gospel to men.
However, we cannot give what we don’t have. We must therefore accept the spiritual responsibility of a consistent lifestyle of prayers, study of the Word and fellowship with the Spirit so as to keep our fire burning. By so doing we will accomplish God’s will upon the earth and be rewarded with His overflowing blessings upon our lives.
PRAYER; Father, please help me to accept the spiritual responsibility of prayers and study of the Word so that my life will shine brightly to bbring delivrrance to men in Jesus Name.
QUOTE;
The study of The Word will keep shame and disgrace far from you. WORDBITE 222.
Shalom!
