To Be Efficacious

Last week, we learned a rarely used word from our Pastor i.e. "efficacious". To be "efficacious" means : "To do the right thing at the right time in the right season in the right way to the right people to achieve the right result."

In this season of prayer, we have been urged to pray for the nation and be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. God work in seasons and this is the time where we pray for the Shalom of God to come. Jehovah Shalom will bring forth peace and soon crush Satan under our feet. In Isaiah 40 : 3 - 5 we read :

"3 A voice of one calling:

"In the desert prepare
the way for the LORD ;
make straight in the wilderness
a highway for our God.

4 Every valley shall be raised up,
every mountain and hill made low;
the rough ground shall become level,
the rugged places a plain.

5 And the glory of the LORD will be revealed,
and all mankind together will see it.
For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

To be efficacious, may we be sensitive to the Spirit's leading to usher in a new beginning even for the Nation as we prepare the way for the LORD to bring forth a spiritual awakening and breakthroughs in the churches of Malaysia. May we as individuals be efficacious to be used of the LORD to do the right thing at the right time in the right season in the right way to the right people to achieve the right result. Here I am LORD, use me !
