HELP THE PERISHING
READ: Judges 3:5-31
Be thou diligent to know the state of thy flocks, and look well to thy herds. :-Proverbs 27:23
God is looking for someone who will deliver and restore people who have been held captive by the enemy. Many young people are sexually violated and robbed of their purity. They are robbed of their virginity. Unfortunately, there are pastors who also rob and spoil people’s lives. How does a person spoil someone’s life? When you introduce someone to sexual perversity, the person is changed forever.
Sexual perversion, for instance, is something that can be introduced to a young, tender and innocent person. After the person is baptised into this behaviour, his orientation is changed and he is unable to be normal any longer. He is never sure what he is, after his youthful encounter with a robber and a spoiler.
Also, when a girl is introduced into deception, fornication and immorality, she can grow up practising these things at the least opportunity she has. Instead of growing up as a sweet, innocent, tender and pure lady, she grows up perverted, immoral and wicked.
Through your presence and your intervention, robbers and spoilers will be stopped in their tracks. People’s lives and families will be saved. People’s personalities will be saved from becoming perverted and confused. God is looking for shepherds who will intervene and stand between the robber and the young girl. Someone who will stand between the spoiler and the young man! Will you be a shepherd? Wouldn’t you like someone to save your little daughter or your son? Do not sit there as though you cannot do anything. God is looking for someone to work for Him and to care for people.
And when the children of Israel cried unto the LORD, the LORD raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel, who delivered them, even Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.
Judges 3:9
