It has been way too long since i wrote here. My heart and soul and mind are bursting, so this is likely to be a long lengthy post. For those with great patience, take a toilet break and get a cuppa. For the faint hearted, move it along and I will see you at the next entry 
I had a blast emceeing the CDC appreciation dinner despite going into it practically kicking and screaming. I have learnt that it is simply not possible to say “no” to the central district council or even the AG exco. It was initially pretty stressful due to various variables but it was all worth it as we were challenged by the special invited guest speaker. She was a fiery speaker that did not mince her words. At 77, she did not show any signs of stopping or retiring. As she said, “i don’t retire, i re-thread my tires and keep going!” She shared from Job as well as other passages. The passage on Job spoke to me lots.
Job was tested on three areas – wealth (finances), health and family. She spoke strongly, that in this day and age, we ministers go through the same situations as our faith is tested and tried. It spoke to me at once. Recently I have been struggling with some finance issues, and then my health started giving out on me! The ezcema, flu, fever, asthma and the hacking cough! It brought my immunity system to an all time low. During this period, there were many things happening with deaths in the family which indirectly led to some pretty strained family ties. Some valued relationships have broken down so badly that my heart breaks everytime I think about it. I had always known the enemy was messing with the finances, health and family but upon hearing her challenge – I was made absolutely sure that this was going to end! Her challenge went on to remind all the ministers, that unless we start taking our time with God seriously and grow in this capacity-we can expect churches that will stagnate and reduce. I could go on and on about this, but there is more to be done in the spiritual realm which requires my time with God to be increased.
This week is an incredibly stretching week. Too many funerals of church members and relatives. Too many things to tighten up for the African Nite on Saturday evening. Loads to work out for the Love is in the Air Christmas harvest that Pelangi cell is doing this friday! On Friday after the cell harvest, there is an airport sendoff at 2am! So praying for lots of souls and also tightening the programme too! Then there is a youth cell conference that is on Saturday which DT and I will teach/handle. Afterwhich comes African Nite! I may just faint after that. Physically i am so tired, but just need to maintain the spiritual walk so that my spirit man does not faint away either!
Amidst the busyness Lord grant me clarity of mind and heart; grant me authority and victory over every single task that needs to be done. I think the more menial and boring the task, the more prayer I need to bring in. Tomorrow please Lord, help me efficiently plan out the day, the hours and the minutes. Let me see, hear and act as you did! I am yours and you are mine!
