"Then Jephthah fled from his brothers and dwelt in the land of Tob; and worthless men banded together with Jephthah and went out raiding with him." (Judges 11:3 NKJV)
…
Jephthah, just like David (1 Samuel 22:1-2) after him took time to build the worthless men that God brought to them. As captains of God's people they provided platforms for others to strive and become valuable in God's hands and programmes.
It is a difficult thing to build a team from ground up. It is easier to select ready-made team members.
The joy of a builder is to see stones, sand, cement, wood and every material used in building a house come together as a building. These materials are worthless on their own, but when they are in the hands of a builder, something glamorous emanates from them.
Jesus, the Master Builder, made apostles from worthless men in the society. He made them fishers of men, as promised. He never gave up on them, He kept on encouraging them and patiently waited for their best to manifest.
