Doing this daily has not been the easiest task, and truthfully it's been arduous strenuous. It's drawn me out of my comfort zone because I'm not one to love being out in the open. I'm more of the backstage guy so it was not easy obeying God to open this blog. I mean, I have to come out of my shell, post links daily and share to people on my status... It's the most demanding thing I've done this year and if not for the strength the Lord gave me and wisdom, I'd have packed it up since the first week. However, I cannot disobey the one who gave me the assignment.
I got to learn since the course of this blog that when God sends you on an errand, it's not about
“I'm not that kind of person or I'm not cut out for this kind of a job..." It's about “Who sent you." He saw
others before He decided it was you that'd run that errand for Him so why don't
you trust Him for strength?? That's exactly what I did and am still doing. I told Him if He'd have
me do this, He'd have to help me.
There's a name the Yorubas call Him; “Oromonisefayati"
which means "The One who sends you and backs you up," that's Who God is. He
wouldn't send you on an errand and have you do it on your own. Ask Him for help for that
errand He has sent you. One of the ways by which I'm sure God is the One sending
me on that errand is if I'm struggling with it and its totally taking me out of
my comfort zone (I'm not saying I struggle with all of God's instructions but then, you get the gist).
I'd usually have to struggle with the instruction before I
finally give in. Like this blog, I got the instruction around November 2020 but
I didn't open it until 11 months later; the 19th of October, 2021, and it's one of
the best decisions I've ever made. Imagine having to impact the lives of people
without ever meeting or knowing them. I don't know half of my audience but I'm
happy with the impact TRC is making and I know we'd do more because we've not
even started.
In our Kingdom, the reward for work is “more work" so I
know I have much more to do but this is just a training for the greater works ahead. I'm still trusting Him for strength because it requires more of “leaving
my comfort zone." Well, I trust the One Who sent me for help and I'd love
you to trust Him to help you with that instruction He has given to you.
No matter how difficult the instruction He has given you is,
ask Him for strength and wisdom to do it because He alone can help you
Shalom.
