Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
(Eph 3:20-21)
The mission to GroblersHOOP was truly beyond anything I could have asked, thought or even imagined! I have said this before and I am pretty sure I am going to say it a few more times in my lifetime… God is faithful if we simply make ourselves available. From the beginning it was evident that we were not the ones in control of the mission, but the Holy Spirit was leading and empowering and inspiring each one of us in the work the Father had given us to do.
The first evidence of this was the fact that almost all of us were there on last minute arrangements. Most had no thought of going to Groblershoop, but had other plans which fell through at the last moment. The way in which God led us further whether in teaching, prayer, devotions or service, was further proof that we were not in control.
I would be amiss if I did not mention that in fact this mission was a huge learning curve for me and in it I learned the value of obedience. What Samuel said to Saul is very, very true: “Obedience is better than sacrifice.” Disobedience cost Saul the Kingdom of Israel, it cost him his crown and the authority God had given him was taken away. Quite a sobering thought…
But what a pleasure to see the Holy Spirit at work in Groblershoop and know that because of this, and not our presence or teaching ability, His Kingdom will come in that place! If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed!
