Practically, we need to think about who we send or employ on our behalf because anybody will definitely not do. If we are a person in authority, the people under our authority are expressions of our management. Some of them who need it, we will be able to train and mould but others, we will not be able to. They are a lost cause unless they, themselves deal with their own issues apart from us. Therefore, we should be careful of who we hire or give authority to. Nevertheless, don’t be fatalistic with the people already under your authority, but deal with them accordingly.
This truth can be also be taken up to another level and related to ourselves and God. Peter said,
What makes us ineffective and unproductive as ‘sent’ ones of God? Isn’t it if we are lazy (sluggish) instead of diligent in our walk with God? Can we have a tremendous impact on those around us in our daily lives? We certainly can. We can change their entire world. How can we do it? By changing our own entire world first through our relationship with God.
