You
will receive great power from the Holy Spirit when He comes to you and lives in
you. Then, you will tell everyone I send you to all about me; each one, no
matter where they are in the world. (Acts 1:8)
How
far is your reach? You may think of each group you see regularly. Maybe you’d
count only those in the smaller circles of family, friends, and closest
business associates. If you lead an organization, your extended reach is to the
far corners of the world. Each person led or influenced by you has influence
over others in their geographical location, business relationships, family, and
other interests. Also, you may never personally know all the people who will be
affected by your obedience when the Lord sends you to a person.
The implications of this
reality are many. Each one tells you a little about God’s plans. His plans are
bigger, more complex, further-reaching, longer-term, and they affect far more
people than you can imagine. As you speak one specific word of God’s
encouragement to a person or group, that word begins to travel to the far
corners of your organization, and even to the ends of the world.
Begin today to take
seriously each opportunity the Spirit presents for you to take Christ to the
ends of the world.
