Whenever God speaks about the condition of the perishing nations, His next move is often a search for a person—someone willing to stand as His representative. Scripture records:

“So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.” — Ezekiel 22:30

Throughout history, God has consistently chosen to accomplish His purposes on earth through human vessels. What distinguishes the man or woman God uses is not personal wisdom, strength, or ability, but a clear understanding of what God is doing and a willingness to align with His agenda in their generation.

At the Point of Divine Recruitment

One truth becomes evident when we consider divine recruitment: it is not secured by human effort or struggle. It is not a person’s certificates or credentials that qualify them for the Lord’s use.

The scripture reminds us:

“The race is not to the swift,

Nor the battle to the strong,

Nor bread to the wise,

Nor riches to men of understanding,

Nor favor to men of skill;

But time and chance happen to them all.” — Ecclesiastes 9:11

And again:

“For by strength no man shall prevail.” — 1 Samuel 2:9

When God issues His call, the primary qualification—or disqualification—is the condition of the heart.
