READ: Judges 6:6-16

…pass the time of your sojourning here in fear:” – 1 Peter 1:17

The Greek word anagkazo means to compel and to drive people to God. Anyone operating with the spirit of anagkazo (a compelling drive) is able to achieve a lot for God.

One of the ways by which I assess leaders is to see how they handle the excuses of people. I know the problems that young pastors must be having: the problem of some people coming this week and not coming the next week, the problem of people coming late to church and the problem of backsliding Christians! They also have the problem of new converts not remaining in church, the problem of not having enough time to pray and the problem of not being able to do outreaches.

If you are a pastor, shepherd, or cell leader, you will have experienced some of these problems. Dear friend, the Bible teaches us that there is nothing new under the sun. What differentiates the successful from the unsuccessful is the ability to overcome excuses. Notice that the man in Luke 14 was not moved by any of the excuses and reasons given. He made a way out of every circumstance that was produced by the unwilling guests.

If you really want to do something you make a way; if you do not want to do something you make an excuse. An anagkazo person is not moved by unfavourable circumstances. Learn to make a way where there’s no way. Find a way to overcome every excuse that people place before you.
