WE BUILT TO LAST: DON’T SIT, YOU ARE STILL ON ASSIGNMENT
People of God, I know we always say, The old prophet deceived him. The old prophet deceived him.”Yes, the old prophet deceived the man of God. But before the old prophet deceived him, something happened.
As the man of God was coming back from his journey, he sat down under an oak tree.
I don’t know what happened to him. Maybe he was tired. Maybe he was overwhelmed. Or maybe, for just a moment, he wanted to feel himself and think about everything that had just happened, saying, Guy, na you be the best. Guy, sit down, sit down, probably reflecting on what happened.
But while he was sitting, the old prophet was looking for him.
1 Kings 13:14.
And went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
This is my point: the old prophet found him sitting.
You are a man or woman on assignment. You may get tired, but please, don’t sit.
You are human. You will be overwhelmed. There are days you will cry. There are days you will look for a shoulder to lean on. God bless you if you find that shoulder. But there may also be days when you will not find one.
If you can run.
If you cannot run, walk.
But whether you are running or walking, please, I beg of you: DON’T SIT. KEEP MOVING.
Why? Because there is an adversary who is also moving, watching and seeking.
1 Peter 5:8.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
The old prophet eventually found the man of God and persuaded him to return.
1 Kings 13:18.
He said unto him, I am a prophet also as thou art; and an angel spake unto me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thine house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
People of God, stay focused on your assignment. Tiredness may come. Tears may come. You may feel overwhelmed. Your pace may become slower than it used to be.
But please, DON’T SIT.
If you can run.
If you cannot run, walk.
If all you can do today is take one more step, take that step.
KEEP MOVING. YOU ARE STILL ON ASSIGNMENT.
