Then the LORD said to Moses, “Gather before me seventy men who are recognized as elders and leaders of Israel. Bring them to the Tabernacle to stand there with you. I will come down and talk to you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is upon you, and I will put the Spirit upon them also. They will bear the burden of the people along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone. (Numbers 11:16-17 NLT)
When we find it hard to tackle our spiritual call alone, God will not turn His back to us but pour His spirit on certain few amongst us to have the same spiritual burden as the leader. When Moses was deeply troubled with the way Israelites reacted God says he will pour the burden on a few elders and leaders to be with Moses to carry the burden.
Church needs leaders and elders who will have the burden for the people. What church needs is elders and leaders who spends time to pray for the spiritual growth and needs of its members' and to execute the Great Commission of Christ.
As an individual what can we do??
Is it only to pray for the leaders, pray for our Church, our ministers….??
We must be committed to God, led by Holy Spirit to carry the burden of the people.
We need to be open to His call, be committed to a local church (that worships God in Sprit and truth) and be willing to serve…
Let us pray for His Spirit to fall upon us too, to take up the call of Great Commission and serve God!
