The Bible clearly reveals that the people that God used greatly were fully devoted to Him. Moses on the back side of the mountain. Abraham left all in obedience to God’s call on his life. John the Baptist in the desert place. Paul spent three years alone with God to receive the great revelations about Christ. Even Jesus spent 40 days and nights in the wilderness alone before starting His ministry. There were others set apart unto the Lord, so much so that “they loved not their lives unto the death (Rev. 12:11). They gave their all. They knew that they no longer belong to themselves.  They were sold out to God. Life or death, it did not matter to them. They knew why they were in the earth, and that was to do the revealed will of God and bring Him glory. So they did not mind being set aside. They did not mind being hidden until God’s appointed time. No jealousies. No fights. Not mad with God. But ready to deny themselves, ready to die daily so that the life of Christ might manifested in their lives.
