One Person CAN Make A Difference

Ezekiel 22:29-30

God told Ezekiel that He looked for a man to stand in the gap before Him on behalf of the land. Just one person could make a difference. Consider Abraham and Moses. But even a common person, like you or me, can make a BIG difference in our world.

Common people who made a difference.

A. Naaman’s servant girl

B. A prostitute - Rahab

C. An obscure disciple - Andrew

D. Paul’s nephew

What kind of people can God use today?

E. A person of faith – who lives the faith he professes

F. A person devoted to prayer

G. A person committed to God no matter what the circumstances

The person who stands in the pulpit should not be considered the only one who stands in the gap for God. God can use any person who is willing to take a stand. God wants to use YOU!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Yes, I’ll be the one to answer to His call,

And I will stand when those around me fall.

I will be the one to take His Light into a darkened world.

I will be the one, Yes I will be the one. (Repeat twice)

I will be the one.
