Never in my life
To hear God’s confirmation in
Becoming part of future
Church planters, pastors and ministry leaders
Through coincidence for
A sister in Christ to go to the bookstore
To purchase a video
Inspiration On: Thursday, 8 January 2016
Lord, it has been four days my business mentor has been ignoring me. I still see that she doesn’t read my WhatsApp messages. I feel so sad so I decide to call her to apologize. Unexpectedly, she answers my call and is busy. Glad she isn’t angry with me. I’m surprised that she is going to the bookstore to buy DVD titled ‘War Room’. So I ask her to buy the book ‘Developing A Vision for Ministry’ and I’ll pay her back. Upon seeing the book cover and the $28 price, she replies “That’s a rather expensive book.”
“Yes. It is. Because my friend and I need the understanding in it.” is my answer.
I am surprised for her to respond, “Are you aware that this book is for church leaders for ministry work?”
“Yes,” is my reply.
Suddenly, she questions, “You both aspire to become church planters, pastors and ministry leaders?”
“Huh? I’m finding out about it.” I’m baffled by it.
She clarifies, “Just alerting in case you have a misunderstanding of what the book is about. The book is not for me.”
Grateful for her explanation, “Thanks for the alert.”
“I find it strange. Guess you both have a calling to become future pastors.” she wonders.
“What?!” I get a shock in my life.
She questions, “What is it that you don’t understand a simple question as that?”
“I’m just shocked.”
“Why shock?” she interrogates further.
“The way you guess it.” is my reply.
She explains further, “Because the book is meant for church pastors, church planters and ministry leaders.”
“Hmm . . .” I am thinking how to answer.
Another question bombs onto my face, “And you both want to understand the book. Understand what? No worry. I can get for you. I will not want to read that book until I am called to be future pastors or God wants me to plant churches.”
“About the vision for ministry.” I answer. My purpose is to improve the vision for the ministry. Oh no, a confirmation through a sister in Christ?
Wish you all have good days and thank you.
