Champion A Cause

Champion A Cause!

“But the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet; and Abiezer was gathered after him. And he sent messengers throughout all Manasseh; who also was gathered after him: and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto Zebulun, and unto Naphtali; and they came up to meet them” (Judges 6:34-35).

Achampion is one who wins for others, not for himself. A champion is a trailblazer, an initiator, a paladin of a good cause. When you look around you’ll find that several opportunities abound for you to champion a cause and chart new frontiers to improve your world.

Irrespective of how “odd” you might feel to be the singular initiator or sole proponent of a positive idea or movement that can improve your immediate society you must remain undaunted.

Let the inspiration for change drive you to champion that positive cause to a successful end. Don’t be among those who merely fold their arms and expect the government to do everything. Rather, be like Gideon who championed the cause to awaken the children of Israel to battle for their liberation against the Midianites.

If you’re a teacher for example, there’re lots of community help-services you can undertake. You can take up the responsibility to organize free extramural classes for students and pupils in your community or neighbourhood. By doing this, you’ll be making a great difference in the lives of the young ones whose parents can’t afford to pay their fees. Many youngsters have grown to become violent and angry at society because they weren’t exposed to the little aids that could have been given at no cost.

You can be the one to make a difference. There’s something you can do, no matter how little. Look around you! God has put in you the ability to champion a cause and give back to society. Let’s do something today that’ll help both our younger and future generations fulfill their dreams.

Prayer

Dear Father, I thank you for the investments you’ve made in my life. I’m conscious of your abilities in me and the changes that can be accomplished in society through me, as I blaze new trails for the purpose of fulfilling your good pleasure, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
