WORLD SHAKER & HISTORY MAKER
In the mid 1990’s I heard a message titled, World Shakers and History Makers. I’m not sure where is it originated from, but I do know it became popular and soon thereafter preachers, including myself, were calling it theirs and preaching their own version of it.
I still strongly believe in the essence of the message. I believe that every person on this planet has the potential to be a world shaker and history maker. But I am also certain that the level of it is dependant on the calling of the individual. We all have an opportunity to shake our world and to write our own history for the next generations to read and learn from us. But the question still arises… How?
I come to a conclusion that the difference maker here is PRAYER. A world shaker and history maker is not a famous person, rather an obedient and effectual person. And it’s only through the privilege and responsibility of prayer that we are able to be effective in “our world.”
I heard a great man of God say; “History is shaped by those who pray or History is shaped in the absence of those who could have prayed.” A world shaker and history maker is simply an ordinary person who connects with his or her purpose through the responsibility of prayer, thus making his or her life extraordinary.
Let’s keep praying IMPACT CHURCH! Let’s shake the world and make our own history!
Sir, I became a Christian at the very height of the World Changer message. There was a song about it, “I’m gonna be, a history maker in this land.” I remember going on a summer missions trip to Venezuela seeing the suffering and repeating that song over and over to console my aching heart. I have since learned that making history has everything to do with obedience. Being in the right place at the right time so God has the opportunity to use you. I may never be a Billy Gram to the world, but I will be a “Billy Gram ” to someone. And to me that is the world to me. I’ll never stop dreaming about impacting thousands but I won’t chase the “gold and glory” as if that were really living for God. I’ll be there when He needs me to and somehow, someway thousands will be affected by my obedience.
Good word Pastor, Its not that complicated. Prayer is the key. Thanks for teaching us to pray.
God, let me be that obedient, effectual and ordinary person you have called me to me. I want the day that I leave Earth that my hyphen on my tombstone leaves some history behind. We will continue to pray together.
I pray we’re all obedient to our calling and truly tap into the power of prayer. We will be unstoppable forces for God!
I’ll receive that Pastor. Let us all be obedient and effectual.
Pastor i strongly believe that God has called me to evangelize through my music and i know without a doubt,my time is coming ,and prayer is the only way im going to get it to manifest.. like Paul said we should pray about everything!!
Amen! We can and we will shake this region through prayer. We must continue to remain fervent in our prayers.
Prayer connect us with the greatest champion of the universe. By connecting with his force is not on use to fulfill or complete something but is on Him too. And God can’t fail us, we most connect to Him to change this world.
Well Pastor when we pray the whole world can feel it because we are praying for people to get free and they can be saved. we just need to stay connected and everything will fall in place.
“The power of prayer is the inheritance of the believer.”(Dr. Myles Munroe) May we pray like never before and witness the hand of God move in our generation.
