LOCUSTS PART ONE

LOCUSTS (I)

The locust have no king,

yet go they forth all of them by bands.

(Proverbs 30:27)

In Bible days people feared a cloud of locusts more than all the armies of their enemies combined. They could literally black out the light of the sun, devour everything in sight, and bring down a kingdom. They were unstoppable!! What's the message of the locust?
.
(1) Don't quit, your victory is assured! The locust is not big, but he's bold! If he can't get through the wondow, he'll climb down the gutter and come up under the porch. But he never gives up. So keep praying, keep believing, keep fighting, your victory is assured. "If God be for us, who can be against us?"(Roman 8:31). Pastor, a hundred locusts will do more to win your community to Christ than a thousand bench warmers.
.
(2) Alone you can't , but together we can! The locusts operate in "bands". Some of us have issues when it comes to letting people into our life. Because of fear, insecurity or pride, we don't want to talk to anybody, or open up and admit to anybody that we need anything, To reach your destiny you must surround yourself with the right people.
.
You can't run with weak, satisfied, laid-back, mediocre people. No, you need people with an appetite for life and a hunger for God. In God's kingdom the mathematics are different: "One can face a thousand but two can chase then thousand" (See Dt 32:30). "If two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven" (Matthew 18:19)
