The
rush to stardom and to be seen is taking many young believers into spiritual
quagmire. It has become a norm and a must that so far as I can do something, I must
be given the chance to do it. Anyone who stands on my way is an anti-Christ.
The moment a Christian experiences and exercises one form of spiritual gift or
the other then they start demanding a stage or pulpit to sing, preach or even lead
prayer. No one wants to wait, no one wants to go through the mill to be refined
and prepared for the Masters use. No one wonder there is so much vices in our
church today. Many young Christians and believers are committing serious blunders
and bringing the name of Christ into disrepute because they could not wait and
go through the mill. Many have stopped their churches because they are not been
given the stage or pulpit to use their gift. There are many pulpits not only in
the church but at the market places, local transports or even open air at dawn.
I spent a lot of time preaching in public transport and open air (dawn) to
carry the message of Christ across. Do not quit your church because there is no
stage or pulpit for you but with patience, prayer and preparation your light
will shine and no one can stop it. Apostle Paul spent fourteen years in Arabia
when he had an encounter with our Lord. How long are you willing to wait to be
prepared by the Lord? Thomas Kempis states that the greatest desire of the
believer is to crave to be unknown and considered as nothing. Are u willing to
be humbled to be unknown and considered as nothing? Christ is our Example…
