Kingdom Carriers | God Was Already There
This week, our workplace fellowship gathered in the hospital chapel for a time of prayer. As I entered, I noticed a gentleman sitting quietly on his own. I greeted him and let him know that we met there regularly and that he was welcome to join us if he wished.
He thanked me, but chose to remain where he was. And that was perfectly okay.
Our fellowship continued as usual. We shared from God's Word, prayed together, and just before closing . As we finished, something unexpected happened.
The gentleman walked over to us and asked,
"May I pray for you'll?"
"Absolutely," I replied.
What a privilege it was to have someone we had only just met pray over our fellowship.
Afterwards we spent some time talking. As he shared his journey of faith, I was deeply encouraged by God's work in his life and by the legacy of faith within his family.
As we spoke, one word kept stirring in my heart:
Mission.
I excused myself, walked back to my office, collected a number of copies of Kingdom Carriers along with a copy of Hope Rising, and returned to the chapel.
He was still there. With great joy, I placed the books into his hands.
As I walked away, I couldn't help but smile. I hadn't gone to the chapel looking for someone to give books to.
He hadn't come looking for our fellowship. Yet God, in His perfect timing, brought our paths together.
It reminded me once again that we don't create Kingdom encounters. We simply have the privilege of recognising them when God brings them across our path.
"The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives." — Psalm 37:23
All glory, honour and praise belong to Jesus alone.
Grace and peace,
Jacob
