Just drawing near to the Lord, has been a very deep and positive journey. I have learned that rain storms are not to destroy you, but help you grow strong in faith. So I allow myself to see the rain as if God is telling me it is time for a new level in life, it is time for me to take a higher step.
This is why I have decided to obtain my degree in Religious Studies. Yes it is a fact that I have been in ministry for over 20 years, and have been a minister for 10 years, and I even have other degree's, but I felt the need to gain a strong and more effective mind in ministry. When I prayed about it, God allow his heavenly rain fall down upon me, and I begin to see a more clear view of his vision in my life.
Now this is one journey, that I find very nervous to my soul, for I have not step up this. I am so use to working with others, and working under others, that actually being the man up front has caused me to have a state of fear in my heart. Yes I know with God all things is possible. And I am not afraid that I will not be able to do the job, I just want to be the best minister, director and leader God has called me to be.
I have worked in varies of departments within ministries, but this one is a lot more unique. When God calls you into a position, you should step out in faith, as well as wisdom. And I am doing that today. I have decided to step out and begin to help build and establish the foundation of the New Life Christian Outreach & Ministry. A ministry that strives to equip, encourage, endorse, empower and educate those who are called to minister unto others. For the last few weeks, I have received over 80 emails, requesting about license and ordination process. I have gotten phone calls from ministers who have been apart of the UECA foundation, asking me how will be more effective then the last person who was appointed in this position.
And I can say that one way is to get all ministers involved with what God has called this ministry to be. For I know that the body can not run with the head, just as the head will not be able to function without to the body in a way that it will desire. So I know that I am not just here to help others, but to provide spiritual guidance to those who are new and season Christians with the New Life C.O.M and the UECA Foundation...
Well lord like Samuel, you son has heard your calling, and I am here to do the job. So I pray that you continue to allow your spirit to lead me, and grant me the wisdom to do as you have called me to do.
