Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt across the Red Sea.

​

Noah built an ark to save his family, as well as pairs of every type of animal and bird, from the Flood that destroyed all of the wicked people and creatures on Earth.

​

David defeated Goliath, which prompted the Philistines to flee.

​

They are just three of numerous people in the Bible who carried out solo missions for God.

​

God has continually called upon His people to carry out crucial solo missions to combat evil and to make the world a better place since the beginning of time.

​

While many will pursue the mission that God has called upon them to achieve, many others will not, or even worse - many will instead submit themselves to the devil.

​

While most of the missions God has called upon people to pursue require the help of others, there are many instances when He expects people to achieve them solely. The mistake many will make is that they will share their God-given solo mission with family and friends who in most cases will discourage them from pursuing it.

​

God instills visions of missions within everyone’s minds that are distinctive from others', so the majority will not comprehend your mission or be able to see your vision - they will only comprehend and see the one that God has instilled within their minds.

​

While the biggest mistake is telling others, the biggest setback is fear. However, we must neutralize our fear with our faith because as Jesus assures us in Matthew 17:20 - “If you have faith as small as a mustard seed nothing will be impossible for you.”

​

While our mission may not be as significant as those of others that were achieved throughout history, it is a mission-critical nonetheless that God expects us to pursue and accomplish to make this world a better place.

​

If fearful thoughts creep into your mind during your pursuit, keep the faith while trusting God just as David, Moses, and Noah did. Although it is a solo mission, always remember that God will be with you every step of the way guiding you throughout your journey while providing you with the strength and capability to succeed.

​

Persevere determinedly throughout your mission until it's a "Mission Accomplished" and when feeling overwhelmed and discouraged during your mission, keep in mind what God told Moses as it is written in Joshua 1:9...

 

“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go”
