Hi Church,

Greetings in the name of Jesus!

How are you? Once again I pray that this week’s Pastor Writes finds you blessed and well.

We are in a very interesting season of our church life right now - TRANSITION. The last 9 years had been an amazing journey. From a humble beginning of only 20 people, we have grown to a sizeable congregation. However, the growth is not just in numbers but also in age. Oppss! As a result, a lot of things have changed. We are certainly older now. What used to work may not work anymore. And what used to be fun may not be that applicable anymore.

As I seek God, one of the recurring themes that keep impressing upon my heart is for God to give us the grace to embrace change. Yes, all of us know that change is constant. We talk about it and we often preach about it. But we have come to the point whereby preaching about it is not good enough or teaching others about it is not sufficient. We need to be open enough to say that we ourselves need to change. We need to ask God to give us the capacity within to change. Change the way we think. Change the way we speak. Change the way we do things. If this change does not come from within, it will last for just a couple of months, or weeks perhaps. This change is not just about changing our programs or changing the way we do church. It is about changing ourselves on the inside and the way we view our world. We need to recognize the new season that is dawning upon us.

The Holy Spirit gives fresh revelations. His manna is for this present season. Draw close to Him and draw from Him. As your pastor, I am very excited about what is ahead. But there is a condition: we ought to seek God personally. The pulpit is not a place for personal revelation!

In Him,

KEV
