How You Can Make a Difference

Micah 3:8

But as for me. I am filled with power. with the Spirit of the LORD, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression and to Israel his sin.

Micah 3:8

For twenty years Micah preached and prayed, and watched things move from bad to worse among the people that he loved, but he was faithful in doing what God had entrusted him to do.

God called Micah to speak and pray, and that’s what he did. That’s the secret. He stuck with it—in season and out of season—and as a result, he lived to see a miracle that he probably never thought possible.

We have the Bible and we’ve been called to pray. God has entrusted each of us with a ministry to carry out, and he holds us accountable for it. If you want to see a breakthrough in the darkness in your family, office, or
some other place where there is resistance, follow Micah’s model.

You can make a difference and here’s how:

Tell the truth. Plant the living seed of God’s truth wherever you can. If it doesn’t seem to bear fruit, don’t get discouraged. This is what God has called you to do.

Do what’s right. Micah is “filled. with justice.” (3:8). Truth
and integrity belongs together.

Pray with faith. “If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land” (2 Chron. 7:14).

Persevere. Micah preached and prayed for twenty years without seeing any change. But he stayed faithful in what God called him to do.
