“Give me a place to stand and I will shake the world!” Those words were the cry of the heart of a young John Wesley as he sought God for the destiny of his life. Still today, young men and women, as well as saints in churches all across the world, cry out to be “used by God!” We have been chosen with purpose. We are under a divine assignment to proclaim the wonders of Him who brought us out of darkness into His abundant life!

You may say, “But that is Risky”. Sure it is!  No one ever changed their world doing what everyone else was doing.

When you realize that you were born with purpose and that you have an assignment to be an influencer in our world, the risk will be secondary to the impact and productivity you will experience. You are blessed! And blessings always carry responsibility.

There was an old lighthouse captain on the northeast coast of America who had been given the task of training a new apprentice. One day this young man would replace him as captain and it became necessary to instill the proper values and knowledge into his life.

As time went by, as is normal on the north Atlantic seashore, a violent storm arose. There was a ship just off the coast that had signaled for help. The old captain began to grab his tackle and ran to go to the ship that was in need. The young apprentice said to him, “We can’t go out there. The waves are too rough; the storm is right on us. If we go out there we may never come back.” The old captain replied, “Son, we MUST go, that is our assignment. We don’t HAVE to come back!”

We MUST take the risk! We MUST go!
