There are multitudes in Egypt, there are souls in the valley of decision. Many are there groaning in bondage thirsty for freedom. people are suffering in ignorance waiting eagerly in darkness for the light you are carrying.Isaiah 6:8
And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send and who will go for us?
God want you to go and bind up the brokenhearted, to go and proclaim liberty to the captives and make their heart glad that are mourning in Zion.
However, there are some hindrances, which are capable of preventing you from going forth into the service of the master.
1. Possessions Material possession in abundance is not in anyway ungodly. In fact, that is the will of God for His people. But you should not allow this to hinder you in any way. A man's life consist not in the abundance of the things which he possessed.
Rather, the value of life is measured by the amount of impact it has made on other lives
Luke 14:18
And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him I have bought a piece of ground, and I must need to go and see it; I pray thee have me excused.
The man above preferred to stay with his possession. Look, there is nothing you have which you have not received, why should you refuse to serve the giver? Is he not "He that gives you power to get wealth?" Remember, he has the power to lift and the power to lower, He maketh rich and maketh poor!
2. Secular Business
Judges 5: 17 - 18.
... and why did Dan remain in ships? Asher continued on the sea shore abode in his breaches.
Zebulum and Naphtali were a people that jeopardized their lives unto death in the high places of the field.
In the great battle of Isreal against Jabin, the king of Canaan and Sisera their captain, the tribes of Dan and Asher refused to go to the battlefield, they had better engagement in their day to day business! Some are already swallowed by secular engagements and are incapable of serving God. Yes, you need to work, you need to eat but never allow that to prevent you from labouring in God's vineyard. Do your best and serve your God.
3. Relationship
I Corinthians 7:29, 35c
But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none; ... that ye may attend the Lord without distraction.
Family relationship - wife, husband, brothers, relatives could serve as hindrance to entire consecration through oppositiion or through sentimental appeal,
However, if you know the importance of service and the accompanying rewards you will not give in to family pressure.
Mark 10:29,30.
There is no man that hath left house or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands FOR MY SAKE AND THE GOSPEL.
But he shall receive an hundred fold now in this time ... and in the world to come eternal life.
You must discard earthly relationship to secure divine pleasure.
Elisha was neither hindered by his parents nor by those twelve yokes of oxen. Take heed, what He will offer you no earthly uncle can.
4. Laziness
Some people are pathologically lazy. They are simply under the oppression of the spirit of laziness. These people will never amount to anything in secular business or in God's vineyard. If you are guilty, deliver yourself now! Get ready to do something, stand against the adversary who is set to render your life valueless.
Every obstacle is surmountable, it only takes ability to receive and obey instructions. Beloved, what is hindering you? Shun every obstacles and receive divine strength. Move forward and serve. Go into God's vineyard and labour.
I curse every spirit of laziness. I curse every spirit of indifference. Every sentimental attachment hindering you is hereby broken! You are released immediately to go and serve your fathers, in Jesus precious name.
