The Origins Of General Booth
Monday, June 4, 2018
A young preacher in England who had a heart for the poor and unsaved was offered a preaching position in a local Methodist church. His health was very poor and his doctor advised against it, but he decided to glorify God in his weakness and trust the Lord to do the rest. His name was William Booth. He not only became a local preacher, but also founded the Salvation Army and oversaw its spread around the world. General William Booth lived to 83 and never stopped ministering in strenuous labor among London’s poorest. He became renowned as one of the greatest saints of history. If you are to serve the Lord, you will have obstacles and discouragements and voices telling you that you can’t do it. Don’t ever accept discouragement from serving the Lord or doing great things for His kingdom. There’s always a way to glorify God and have victory. The world will tell you that you can’t do it, but Philippians 4:13 says, “I can do all things through Messiah who strengthens me.” So believe God, reject discouragement, and do mighty things. For with God, nothing is impossible.
From Message #1470 - Plan B
Scripture: Nehemiah 6:9
TODAY'S MISSION - Today, reject any discouragement concerning your calling in the Lord. Serve and glorify Him anyway.
Rabbi Jonathan Cahn
