Message from the Elder

When it comes to understanding our God-given purpose, it is important that we seek God first...But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well (Matthew 6:33)

 We must remember, the more we walk with Him, the more we realise our purpose. This is as a result of God’s GRACE (God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense) in action. However, it is not about us, it is about Him. In Hebrews 11, the faith chapter, Abel, Enoch, Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Rahab and many of the prophets, placing their faith in God is the common denominator through which God worked. What is important to note in Hebrews 11:39-40 is despite being commended for their faith, they did not receive what was promised, God’s will is sovereign and surpasses everything else.

What about the things God has called us to accomplish in our relationships, marriages, families, church, studying, working, communities? Will we see God’s plan clearly in those areas? Let’s see God work out His purpose even in times where we don’t see the prize or don’t understand what is happening, the Lord’s plan and purpose is always PERFECT.

 However, let us not fall into the trap of ‘leaving it for God to solve’, we are created for great things. We are ambassadors of Christ! (2 Corinthians 5:11-21). We are to be the salt and light in the world! (Matthew 5:13-16)

 With that in mind…what are the things God has placed on your heart to achieve? Are you walking with God in anticipation of these things to be made complete? Are eagerly awaiting Christ’s return and reigning with Him eternally? And what about the things we may not understand or relate to?

Let’s be sure that we don't go it alone. As we trust God and His ways, knowing God’s word, praying and asking God for the wisdom, discernment, energy, enthusiasm, focus and ability to do all the things God has destined for us to fulfil, according to His purpose. May we continue to encourage one another in seeking God. May God’s name be glorified, at all times and in all things. Amen
