Luke 9:23 ‘And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.’

DAILY READING; • John 14:1-14; 2 Chronicles 20:1-21:1; Psalm 78:56-72

William Booth was an English Methodist preacher who, along with his wife, Catherine, founded the Salvation Army.
The Salvation Army is a Christian international charitable organization that today has a worldwide membership of over 1.7 million people. It has a mission to bring salvation to the poor, destitute, and hungry by meeting both their physical and spiritual needs. It is present in 131 countries around the world.
This great organization was founded due to the tenacity and dedication of William Booth to follow God’s will.
During his childhood, his father could not afford his school fees and so at 13 years old, William was apprenticed to a pawnbroker.
Two years into his apprenticeship Booth became converted. He then began to prepare himself to be a preacher by reading extensively and trained himself in writing and in speech. He soon became a Methodist local preacher but he was unhappy that the denomination did not give him the freedom to do evangelistic campaigns. Though he was going to lose financial stability, Booth resigned from his position and became an independent evangelist. All that mattered to him was obeying God and he was willing to lay down everything to follow Christ.
In 1865 he founded the Salvation Army, which is a Christian movement with a quasi-military structure. The army spread from London, England, to many parts of the world. Today, it is recognized and celebrated as one of the largest distributors of humanitarian aids globally.

To be able to impact the world around us, we must be willing to obey God at all costs and let Him be Lord of our entire lives. When the apostles forsook all and followed Jesus, they ended up as wonders to their generation.
However, the ability to give Christ full reign in our lives comes from being deeply impacted by His Word as we spend time in fellowship with Him.
Those who struggle in obeying God are those who have not really spent quality time meditating in the Word.
The grace and power for obedience comes through being deeply influenced by God’s Word. And when you let God have all of you, He will work through you to accomplish miracles, signs and wonders. This is how men like William Booth made great impacts in their generation.
Likewise, our lives will make great impact on earth, when we give Christ full control of our hearts.
When this happens, our lives and ministry will begin to manifest such mighty signs and wonders that will draw men and women into God’s kingdom.

PRAYER
Lord, please help me to return to the place of sitting at Your feet, learning from Your Word until I am infused with the power to do exploits in Your kingdom, in Jesus Name. .
