What A Weekend!
I had not been preaching for up to 4 weeks and then it was a full 6 services preaching on the weekend. The situation was made even more challenging with the Leaders’ Conference and the Staff Retreat taking place back to back a couple of days ago.
On Saturday, even before I started on the first of six preachings, I was already a bit tired. I also knew that it was an important weekend for the youth before they commenced on their discipleship focus before the Christmas harvest. I knew that I need to play my part well to aid in the strategic focuses.
But God was so faithful. He pulled me through all the services on Saturday and Sunday. As I did my part and depended on Him, He gave me the strength and ability to communicate His mind and heart. I am really thankful to God!
There were moments before and even during the preaching when my mind really felt like giving up. I held on remembering that Jesus is with me and I am merely an instrument in His Hand. I can only give and do my best and no more!
And the conclusion of the matter is this: whatever little that I have can become a lot in God’s hands. This is a precious lesson that I have to learn and re-learn, know and remember time and again in my life :)
I am also so thankful to those who prayed and helped me over the weekend. Totally grateful...
Thus I can say with conviction that God will surely do great things through your life and my life in this coming week! So go ahead and kick up some storms (good ones!) for the Kingdom.
