There was a division among the people because of him.John 7:43
Wayne Dyer came home from school one day and asked his mum, “What’s a scurvy elephant?” She told him she’d never heard of one, and asked where he’d heard it. He replied, “From my teacher.” When his mother called the teacher, he told her, “As usual, Wayne got it wrong. I didn’t say he was a scurvy elephant; I said he was a disturbing element!”
Do people see you that way? They did, Jesus! Listen, His enemies said, “He stirreth up the people” (Luke 23:5). Imagine that: The Prince of Peace was also The Great Disturber!
Daniel refused to eat the King’s meat or bow to his gods, because he’d been sent to bring change, not build a consensus. When you compromise what’s right to gain acceptance with people, you forfeit it with God. Make your choice!
You are where you are today for a purpose! The question is, are you willing to become a disturbing element in order to fulfil it?
Joseph Bayly writes, “Lord of reality, make me real, not plastic. I don’t want to keep a prayer list; I want to pray. I don’t want to agonise to find Your will; I want to obey what I already know. I don’t want to explain the difference between Eros, Philos and Agape; I just want to love. I don’t want to tell it like it is; I want to be like You want it.” Make that your prayer today too.
