THEME: POWER OF TWO
Luke 10:1
“After these things the Lord appointed seventy-two others also, and sent them two by two before His face into every city and place where He Himself was about to go.”
INSIGHT
-The Lord has often deployed two by two ministers for the benefit of His Kingdom, beginning as early as the Old Testament times. Moses and Aaron ministered together in their mission to deliver the Israelites from the Egyptian captivity. Barak and Deborah the judge; ministered in unison and delivered the Israelites from Jabin’s cruelty (Judges 4:1-10). Elijah and Elisha prophesied together, including many others. In the New Testament, Jesus chose twelve apostles among a multitude of disciples (Luke 6:13). He gave them power and authority to drive out all demons, to cure diseases, proclaim the kingdom of God and to heal the sick (Luke 9:1-2). During the great commission, Jesus mandated the disciples to go and preach the gospel to the whole world in pairs, having the same power and authority. By this Jesus ensured that the gospel reached both the Jews and Gentile nations, as it is today. We see two among them walking to Emmaus when Jesus revealed to them the mysteries of the gospel and broke bread (Luke 24:13-35). The power of two therefore manifests in ministry and through the mouth of two or three witnesses, a matter is established (Matthew 18:16). Each one of us has been called to preach the gospel of truth to the whole world; in our various capacities, for the harvest is plentiful but the laborers are few (Matthew 9:37). When we minister in unity with each other, Christ comes as the third witness and we accomplish His will and overcome every obstacle, for the glory of His name.
