Raising new leaders

In preparation for my forthcoming long-term absence in my local church, I have assigned specific duties and responsibilities to the members of the worship team. Last Sunday was the pioneering day of all the newly-ordained tasks. As a leader of the team, I was so blessed to see them “functioning” very well; keeping in mind that these kids are servants of the Lord and their service to the Lord is never in vain. I was really happy to “see” how they would probably be without me. It’s the Presence of God that we need and not anybody else.

I am particularly happy and greatly blessed with Ate Erlyn’s leading us in worship last Sunday. At first she was hesitant with her new assignment. Then we all recognize that promotion comes from the Lord and this is the time she is called to step up. During worship, the congregation felt the presence of God as we sing and praise altogether. All glory be unto God!

Thank you Lord for raising leaders. Thank you Lord for the willing hearts to serve. Thank you Lord for oneness and teamwork. Thank you Lord for camaraderie and friendship. Thank you Lord for using us for Your kingdom. We want to serve You mightily and faithfully. Bless Your children. Amen.
