Luke 17:15-16
15 Then one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back,
praising God with a loud voice; 16 and he fell on his face at Jesus’ feet, giving him thanks. Now he was a Samaritan. ESV
- I want to be the one. God did a work in ten lives and only one turned to thank Him. God I want to be the one that recognizes your hand in my life. I want to be the one that turns back in gratitude. I want to be the one that will lay down his own agenda to live for you. I want to be the one that you can use. God that is my prayer make me the one. I want to be different I want to be sold out. I want to meditate on your word. I want to see it come alive, I want to live it. I am in a world full of people that call themselves Christians, but so few of them live like the one. Make me the one. God use me to minister to lives let us be a generation filled with the ones. Are you the one, or are you one of the nine?
- The one must be willing to leave others. You can’t be the one if you are following the crowd. There is a price to be paid to be the one. For the leper he left his friends, and walked a little further, and delayed his entry into the city a little, giving his time. What is the price for you? Are you willing to pay it?
- The Scriptures are full of the stories of the men we can call the ones. Like Noah who was called alone out of his generation, David who was called a man after God’s own heart. Abraham who was called out of his people to have a relationship with God. The prophets who were willing to deliver messages that got many of them killed. Many of the apostles spread the gospel even when it cost them their lives. You can’t forget Steven the first martyr he definitely falls in the category of the one.
