Moses Chooses Seventy Leaders
16 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Gather before me seventy men who are recognized as elders and leaders of Israel. Bring them to the Tabernacle[a] to stand there with you. 17 I will come down and talk to you there. I will take some of the Spirit that is upon you, and I will put the Spirit upon them also. They will bear the burden of the people along with you, so you will not have to carry it alone.
Even ‘The Lone Ranger’ had Tonto, his American Indian guide and companion, and Silver, his trusty horse. ‘The Lone Ranger’ was not successful alone.
God calls individuals to ministry but He does not call them to try to be Lone Rangers. Twelve disciples … Paul and Silas … the three Hebrew boys … Peter, James and John … Aquila and Priscilla … Moses, Aaron and Miriam … Moses and Seventy Leaders. Seldom do you find one called by God, going it alone.
God calls individuals but we don’t have to minister the Good News as individuals. Pray for your team … those you minister with.
