“Light from on high”
– Luk 1:78 (AMP)
Patience…
Good things happen to those who patiently wait. How often we rush ahead, following our own wisdom to accomplish what we feel called to do. King Saul’s haste caused him to lose his royal family bloodline. Being called is not the begin and end all. Patiently waiting on God is required and that requires faith and a certain level of spiritual maturity:
Rom 12:12 rejoicing in hope, patient in tribulation, continuing steadfastly in prayer
Jam 1:3-4 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing
Jam 5:7 Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain
Rom 2:7 eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor, and immortality
Note: Please be reminded of our special communal service that will happen this Sunday (28 April). During this service we will be waiting on all members to share through leading in prayer, testimony, song, a Word from the Lord, etc. Kindly keep all contributions within the 3-minute guideline, so as to allow several people to participate. Please ask the Lord what your contribution should be.
NB: This also serves as a reminder that I feel led to put the month of May aside for special time alone with God. I will therefore not be available for any church business matters, counselling and other appointments during this month. Please pray with me that the Lord will reveal His plans and strategies during this time of waiting on Him.
