Compelling Compassion - The Driving Force

By Pastor ChyChy Ayodele

The unbeatable pity for the suffering of mankind...

And when this unbeatable sympathy becomes Compelling Compassion, you will be moved to act. For it is written in the Bible about Jesus, “And He, seeing the great multitude like sheep without shepherds was moved by compassion…”  “And He seeing the sick and diseased was moved by compassion to heal them…” Paul said, “the love of God constraints us…”

The love of God, Divine Compassion is the compelling, motivating force of the Christian life and ministry. It is the drive of the Christian work for mankind.

It is the power and the momentum. That is why God must pass us through great pain first in life before we can realize our ministry. The Bible says of Jesus that He is able to be our High Priest because He Himself has been touched by our infirmity. He has lived in the flesh… of The Trinity. He is the One most qualified to be our advocate.

He knows what it feels like to be tempted, to be limited, to die, to go to hell. He knows it all therefore His compassion knows no bounds and thus has become an appealing force before the Throne.

Your pains are the means by which God imparts this compassion. It is the means by which God drives the love for those to whom you are sent to help. And those to whom you shall be sent to help are those who shall be in the pain that you are presently in, or have gone through, going through and are now finding God’s answers for.

It is this answer that you shall give them. It is full-proof answer that He is giving to you, if you would seek Him for it rather than get into self-pity and whine and complain and grumble.

Your pain, the greatest burden, need, desire, bondage of life should and is divinely designed to drive you into God relentlessly until you come forth with God’s full-proof answer. A Revelation from God, Truth that will set you free and you will use to set others free who are likewise bound.

Your Pain Should Drive You To God

God is waiting to give you the answer. With that answer, you shall be freed and used to free others.

Your sympathy must become compelling compassion for a particular suffering of humanity to which you are called to help eradicate. You will realize that your quest, your purpose will be to be great in spiritual advocacy, in the power it will take to bring relief to that particular suffering. If that suffering is poverty, you will be looking for financial greatness which will be for you God’s power to break that poverty.

If it is sickness, you will be looking for greatness in God’s healing anointing. Mike Murdock is constantly looking for wisdom… Myles Munroe is constantly projecting purpose… Let your suffering become a compelling compassion that moves you like Jesus to minister. Let your pain drive you to God to receive the Truth to free you so you can also be used to free others. Turn away from you and turn to God.

“All things work together for good…” so you can turn your misery into your ministry, going forth with the power and answer to free people from what once bound them. Your pain will bring gain to many in the future if you turn it to your good now because you love God and are called according to His purpose.

Why would you be financially great? Is it so as to enable you to drive the finest and latest cars, wear the best clothes, eat at the finest restaurants and have the biggest bank accounts, live in a posh house, in the most exclusive part of town and jet-hop across the famous cities of the earth vacating? A billion times NO!

There is a work of the devil called poverty. And prosperity is an anointing God is giving to you to use to smash that work. For you are a son of God and for this purpose you are manifested, that you may destroy the works of the devil… John3:8 and you must! Every other thing is a benefit.
