READ: LUKE 7:24-26
“And when the messengers of John were departed, he began to speak unto the people concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness for to see? A reed shaken with the wind?” – Luke 7:24
John the Baptist could not be shaken with the wind. John the Baptist did not live delicately in the king’s court. He was a hard man! He was resistant to pressure! He was on a mission! He was there to do exploits!
I want you to become a man of exploits. Do not talk too much at meetings. Have you noticed that people who talk a lot in movies often get shot? Often, when they are supposed to eliminate the enemy, they talk a lot, threatening and goading over their enemy. Too much talk is dangerous! Get down to the job and do exploits for Jesus!
In these last days, we need doers, not talkers! In these last days we need men who are going to do exploits for Jesus. Those that know their God will do exploits (Daniel 11:32). Exploits are indeed a sign of people who are deep in God. People who are strong do exploits. People who are real do exploits! People who are made up of steel do exploits. Reeds shaking in the wind do not accomplish anything for God. Men who are pushed around by the wind do nothing for God. Men who are pushed around by their wives do nothing for God. People who are pushed around by circumstances cannot bear fruit.
A person who has attempted exploits has overcome excuses and reasons why things cannot be done. Many people are neutralised by circumstances. Do not come up with plenty excuses that wipe out the exploits that you are supposed to do. John the Baptist did not give the wind as an excuse. He was simply not shaken by the wind.
