I am amazed at God's ability to just use people. It matters not what you can or cannot do, all I know is that when you avail yourself to God, He can do wonders through you. I read some old book once that said that, " God cannot do for man what He cannot do through man". I am not sure about the first 'cannot' part of it. Maybe it should change to 'prefers not to' instead.
I do realise that God wants us to be part of the process. In this way, we get to understand how The Kingdom works. I have always said that, "More real is the truth you find for yourself than the one you are told".
Sunday was awesome! Our pastors had to attend to an urgent matter and Lekunutu and I were informed on Sunday morning that we have to minister. I met him in the morning at his house and we started plotting on how we are going to handle this. It is amazing how God works. I shared my ideas and it was exactly what he had received while praying. So, we decided that it was going to be a tag team. We got our scripture and we went to church for intercession. We decided we were going to get people involved in the service and we were going to do things a little different. All went well, including the music. All we had, was our voices and the Djembe drum. You know how the Holy Spirit rolls...He made it all come together.
This is big for us because it basically proved to us that God will do whatever He wants to do through whoever is willing. It taught us a great lesson. We had big shoes to fill. We did, however, remember that we are not our pastors and we should not try to imitate them. We were thrown in a deep end by The Holy Spirit is not limited.
The service was so awesome that we grew out of it. The preaching was on "Praise and Worship (especially in song)", using 2Chron20.
Thank you Father
I am humbled to be an instrument in your hand.
You are growing my faith....
Praise God! Isn't it great when He allows you to be His instrument? (Or really, when we offer ourselves up to BE His instruments?) :-) Thanks for sharing!
