Ezekiel 2:1 And He said to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak to you.”
Ezekiel 2:2 Then the Spirit entered me when He spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard Him who spoke to me.
“God cannot use men to do his will who try to crawl through the world in all fours. When he wants any great work done , he will always says, “son of man, stand up on your feet and I will speak to you”( F.M.Barton, Pulpit power and Eloquence)
This was a wake up call for Prophet Ezekiel. He was the first prophet in the land of captivity. God gave him a powerful message to deliver to the stiff necked people of Israel. He was sent as God’s spokesman to warn the rebellious house of Israel that if they did not change they would fall. All the Believers, through the enablement of the Holy Spirit must be on their feet not only to hear what God is saying but also to act accordingly.
Like Ezekiel, we must stand up on our feet and allow the world to see God through us. We should not be afraid of living in the midst of the ungodly. We should not be afraid of their hard looks and demeaning words. We should spiritually impact our sphere of influence through our lifestyle, evangelism, prayers and our deeds.
