Key Passage: 2 Kings 10: 15-17

Now when he departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab, coming to meet him; and he greeted him and said to him, "Is your heart right, as my heart is toward your heart?” And Jehonadab answered, "It is.” Jehu said, "If it is, give me your hand.” So he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot. Then he said, "Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.” So they had him ride in his chariot. And when he came to Samaria, he killed all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed them, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke to Elijah.

The challenges of soul winning and reclaiming the kingdom of this world from the dominion of Satan calls for the people of God to wake up from slumber and serve God with zeal and fervency. The demand of the Great Commission cannot be met with the kind of lethargy and lukewarmness that is prevalent in the Church today. In this end-time, God is raising an army of believers who not only has the Kingdom vision and anointing, but who also has the driving force for exploits. That is an army of warriors with “fire in their bones” who would not turn their backs to the enemy, but who would press on in the fight until the kingdom of darkness is crushed and Jesus enthroned in the lives of men.

Jehu was a young commander who led the revolution that overthrew the dynasty of King Ahab and Queen Jezebel in Israel. When he was anointed King of Israel, Jehu went on a swift mission to execute the judgment pronounced by Prophet Elijah on the family of Ahab for their wickedness, idolatry and witchcraft. He killed King Joram the son of Ahab and Jezebel. He went on to destroy all the members of the royal family and their allies. He was determined to crush all that remained of Ahab’s dynasty and the institution of Baal worship in the land. He needed help and found it in Jehonadab the son of Rechab, a proselyte that had the fear of God and was zealous for the reestablishment of true worship in Israel. Jehu took him into his team and they went and succeeded in their mission.

God is seeking people like Jehu and Jehonadab who are consumed by the zeal of the Lord’s house (Ps 69:9). He is seeking people who will steer a spiritual revolution that will overturn the spate of corruption, immorality, perversion, wickedness and Satanism that is pervading our world today. He is seeking those that will be ready to stake their lives, comfort, reputation and resources for the restoration of righteousness, justice and truth in their lands. The Psalmist says, “Your troop will be willing on your day of battle” (NIV Ps 110:3). It will take total commitment and absolute surrender to the will of God. God will help us when give ourselves willingly and we will surely have the victory.

Pray: Lord, help me to get out of my comfort zone and step out into the battle ground and do exploits for Your Kingdom
