It’s that time of the year again, and like most homes, ours is buzzing with excitement with everyone eagerly expectant of the big day. I didn’t get as many Christmas lights out as I would have liked because I’m in the minority when it comes to the number of Christmas lights displayed in my house. I don’t blame them, though! Well, despite the restrictions and lockdown, there’s still some excitement in the air, and we have something to celebrate and look forward to in the next few days.

But the angel reassured them, saying, “Don’t be afraid. For I have come to bring you good news, the most joyous news the world has ever heard! And it is for everyone everywhere! For today in Bethlehem a rescuer was born for you. He is the Lord Yahweh, the Messiah. You will recognize him by this miracle sign: You will find a baby wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in a feeding trough!” Luke 2:10-12 NIV (more…)

What is the one thing you could do to your now that will change your tomorrow? Whilst here on earth, we are limited by Chronos time, so we have only the present at our disposal to manage. We constantly live in the unknown about what lies beyond the present. The story of Hannah inspired this message. Hannah and Peninnah, two women, married to Elkanah, a Zuphite who lived in Ramathaim.

He answered, “The Father is the one who sets the fixed dates and the times of their fulfilment. You are not permitted to know the timing of all that he has prepared by his own authority. But I promise you this—the Holy Spirit will come upon you and you will be filled with power. And you will be my messengers to Jerusalem, throughout Judea, the distant provinces even to the remotest places on earth!” Acts 1:7-8 TPT

God is such an awesome and good Father who doesn’t raise microwave leaders. He loves us too much to see us fail because He wants glory out of our lives. He usually develops and encounters us in our secret place to unction us for transformation and empowerment by His Spirit for our leadership assignment. When He publicly displays us, it presents an opportunity for people around us to receive all that He has deposited in us. God does not desire His children to rush into public ministry when He hasn’t anointed them to handle the pressures that come with it.
