Experiencing The Sovereignty Of God [Part 1]

For the past month, I've expressed to many of you how I've been feeling lately. The way I've illustrated it is that my borehole is running empty in this dry season of my life. My relationship with the Lord began to feel empty and dry. One thing that I noticed was that I did not have the same type of fellowship/community here as I did with my church back at home. Almost every Sunday, the congregation back at home would enjoy times of fellowship, chatting and catching up on each others' lives. Everyone knew more than just one each others name but we knew each other well enough that we can share, joke around and know how to pray for one another. This fellowship was not available here. I finally came to a realization that being part of a mega/large congregational church is not what I feel comfortable being in. Since I had a tough time being in a large congregational church, I decided that I needed to find a fellowship among a few of the believers. I came up with the idea that I should have a Saturday Morning Prayer Breakfast with a few of my brothers from this large church. It began well and the test came when I took a break going to Kampala from what I stated in my last post. I was a little concerned because I would be t a few days in Kampala and would miss the Prayer Breakfast. I decided to text my fellow brothers to notify them in advance. This really meant that I had to trust God on this one, that even if I am not around, the Prayer Breakfast would still happen. Very selfish of me to think about this isn't it? Even I believed that it was selfish of myself to have these thoughts, but I knew that the Devil wanted to play games with me and bring doubts into my mind.

While you read this, maybe you can reflect on a situation where you had the same type of doubt because I am sure many of us have a small feeling and would be concerned that an event would not happen because we are not there.

After returning from Kampala after preaching on Lukewarm, I asked one of the brothers that goes to the Prayer Breakfast on how it went. He mentioned that it was a good time and even told me that they are changing it to begin at 8:00am instead of 8:30am because others have prior commitments. I was blown away when he told me this! Not only did the Prayer Breakfast happen with the three of them, but that they made a decision without my consent! I'm not saying they need my permission, but it goes to show of a few things:
1) God started this, not me. I am not the one that is considered the leader of the Prayer Breakfast since I came up with the idea. Others should not ask for my permission to move on.
2) God will continue to do His work amongst His people even if I am not available/around.
3) God is in control and there is no doubt about that. He is at the centre of all this, not me.
