In the early days of his ministry, young Lester Sumrall faced soul-crushing hardship. As a teenage evangelist with no financial backing, he had to take up menial work feeding pigs on a farm—his clothes filthy, his spirit weighed down. One day, broken and discouraged, he fell to the muddy ground in the middle of a pigpen and cried out, “Lord, maybe I should just go home and die!”
But instead of despair, God gave him a word: “Be faithful, and I will give you much greater things.”
Not long after, Lester received a powerful vision: multitudes of lost souls from around the world, walking toward eternal separation from God. The voice of the Lord thundered, “Go preach to them or their blood will be on your hands.” That vision marked him forever—it ignited a fire of service that would drive his life.
Soon after, God led Lester to leave a local revival meeting and travel to a seemingly random campmeeting in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. He obeyed, even when the pastor accused him of being unstable and withheld his honorarium. At that camp, he met Howard Carter, a British missionary. In a moment that can only be described as divine orchestration, Lester blurted out, “I will go with you over the highest mountains, I will go with you over the broad plains, I will go with you through every desert…”
Howard was shocked.. Two years earlier, God had told him that a young man would come and say those exact words. That young man was Lester. This God-ordained meeting birthed a life-changing ministry partnership, much like Paul and Timothy, that would take them across the globe to build churches, teach truth, and win souls—just as God had shown them.
Lester Sumrall’s story is proof that humble beginnings are no obstacle to great destinies when we walk in obedience to divine instructions.
God has placed within each of us an assignment tied to His Kingdom purposes, and He has already arranged strategic encounters and partnerships to help us fulfill it. But it’s our obedience and service that unlock the next level of that divine plan. Often, God will only show you one step at a time—just enough to move forward in faith.
The blessings of Job 36:11 are not for the passive believer, but for those who keep following God and obey and serve Him dedicatedly.
Today as we dedicate ourselves to serve God and humanity, we will surely soar into realms we never thought possible.
In this new month of August we have come into a season loaded with so much possibilities and promises. And through the Blood of Jesus we shall press forward to obtain all God has ordained for us in this new season.
This new month of August is not just another page on the calendar—it is a prophetic launching pad into new dimensions. The word “August” connotes majesty, dignity, and greatness.Therefore as we serve faithfully this month, God will lift us to enviable platforms and unimaginable new heights of glory
PRAYER: Lord, Please grant me the grace to press in to all You have ordained for me in this unique new month. As I diligently seek You, I know I shall connect with divine opportunities and experience inexplicable liftings, breakthroughs and promotions in Jesus Name.
