The Year of the LORD’s Favor

 1 The Spirit of the Sovereign LORD is on me,
       because the LORD has anointed me
       to preach good news to the poor.
       He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
       to proclaim freedom for the captives
       and release from darkness for the prisoners, 2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor
       and the day of vengeance of our God,
       to comfort all who mourn, (Isa 61:1-2)

The First time I attended JIL Church, I wanted to be involved in all the Ministries. I want to be a part of VIA (Voice in Adoration) because I love singing. I want to be involve in Children Ministry because I love Children. But that time wasn’t the time for me to be involve in the Ministry… why? I guess because God is still preparing me for that. I even thought that I will never be a part of the Ministry, because I could not commit before. Although I prayed to God for a Ministry… still He told me to wait… so.. I wait.. and wait and wait… until I got tired of waiting. God kept telling me to “Wait” for His timing. But I did not listen. So I focus on my online Ministry… until Pastor Arnel tapped us in CORE Leadership. I got soo excited and I was so happy!

But as I was given more and more responsibility… I got scared especially when I was asked to lead Prayers. (It was my weakness.) So this was the training is all about. Then I became not only a Core Leader… I was promoted to be in the Inner Circle of the Leadership (SPT). I got scared of what’s coming unto me… I wanted to back out… but Pastor Arnel said, “Chette… Now is the time”. Pastor Arnel confirm this when He annointed me with Oil. “This is your time Sis.Chette”

I thought… I can’t handle it, but by God’s grace and because of the training. I found out that I am ready to face the Battles.

God’s timing is really “Perfect” He knows me and is fully aware of my circumstances. If He gave it to me? Surely He will be with me, He will provide the sources, His grace is sufficient for any assignment and He will not give it to me if I can’t handle it.

Lord… Just help me to full fill what you want me in these Ministries…
