WE ARE NOT SENT TO EVERYBODY.

Among the things God gives with every assignment is it’s scope: to whom, when and where. Overtime, there is room for this scope to be enlarged but in it’s infancy, limits are placed to offer guidance, context and structure.

Therefore, as much as you may have the zeal, passion and resources that seem to give you free reign, you have not been sent to everybody. I know that may sound ‘divisive’, but it is a core rudiments of our assignments in the Kingdom of God. Not that there won’t be overlaps in the course of execution, but those happen because there was an expected alignment.

Indeed, there were many widows in Israel at the time of Elijah, but He was SENT to the widow in Zarephath(Luke 4:25-26). Likewise, in the missionary journeys of the Apostles, there were times when they were restrained from certain territories. In fact, their initial scope was given in stages because not all of them would individually reach ‘the uttermost part of the world’ (Acts 1:8).

Beloved, you are not empty: you have gifts, skill, resources and carry many graces, but who have you been sent to? For some, they are sent to an individual, and fulfilling that assignment will make them ‘good and faithful servants’. Others are sent to families, regions or even to nations near and far. Until you locate those to whom you have been sent, those for whom your graces are to impact, you may not fully realize the depth of what you wield.
