The Kitchen Newsletter

Good day,
Welcome to The Kitchen, where we explore, prepare and serve the contents in the Body of the Word as the delicacies of God—to create the form of the Father on the earth, to make the earth in His likeness, and to take charge of the economic destinies of nations for God.

Relax, and let's journey through the scriptures to see the Body of the Word.

What if the descriptions of the body of Jesus Christ in Scripture are not merely descriptions of what John or Ezekiel saw—but windows into the invisible God?

John was on Patmos when he heard a voice behind him. He turned, and what he saw was extraordinary: a figure like the Son of Man, standing among seven golden lampstands. His hair was white like wool, His eyes were like blazing fire, His feet like bronze glowing in a furnace, His voice like rushing waters, and His face like the sun in all its brilliance.

John did not encounter an idea.

He encountered a Person.

He encountered Jesus Christ, the living Word of God, in the appearance of a man and with a body (Revelation 1:1–2, 12–17; Ezekiel 1:26).

This gives us a remarkable way of reading Scripture: the Body of the Word is a revelation of the invisible God.

Hebrews 1:3 calls Christ “the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being.” Paul similarly speaks of “the light of the knowledge of God’s glory” in the face of Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6).

Therefore, when Scripture describes the eyes, face, feet, voice, garments, or other details of the Word, these descriptions are not empty imagery. They invite us to inquire into the Person they reveal.

Consider the eyes.

John says:

“His eyes were like blazing fire.”
— Revelation 1:14

Why blazing fire?

Hebrews 12:29 tells us, “Our God is a consuming fire.”

The image therefore takes us beyond the physical description of eyes. It begins to tell us something about the nature, passion, desire and activity of God.

The Body of the Word becomes a language through which the invisible God makes Himself known.

And this is where the subject becomes particularly provocative.

The Father has a hunger.

We often speak about our hunger for God. But what if Scripture also teaches us to consider the hunger of God?

Isaiah speaks of the tongue of the Lord as a consuming fire (Isaiah 30:27). Jesus declares:

“I am the bread that came down from heaven.”
— John 6:33

And:

“I am the bread of life.”
— John 6:35

Then He makes the statement even more striking:

“This bread is my flesh.”
— John 6:51

The bread placed continually before God in the tabernacle was called the bread of the Presence (Exodus 25:30).

So the Body of the Word is not merely something we study. In this revelation, the Body of the Word is the food of God—the object of the Father’s intense desire.

The dining table becomes a powerful picture.

Song of Solomon 7:2 speaks of a rounded goblet, blended wine and a mound of wheat. The imagery presents the Body as a place of nourishment and abundance.

What if our understanding of the Body of the Word is itself part of the Father’s desire?

What if the question is not merely, “How much do I know about God?”

But:

“What does God desire to find in me?”

This takes us directly to the image of the blazing eyes.

The eye is described by Jesus as the lamp of the body (Matthew 6:22). The blazing eyes of the Word therefore present another dimension of the Body: the lamp of God.

A lamp searches.

A lamp illuminates.

A lamp reveals what is hidden.

Psalm 11:5 says that the Lord examines the righteous, while Psalm 14:2 says that He looks down from heaven to see whether there is anyone who understands and seeks Him.

Notice the connection.

The blazing eyes are not merely looking at us.

They are looking for something in us.

They are looking for understanding.

The Father is looking for the knowledge of the Body of the Word in the hearts and minds of His people.

That changes the way we think about revelation.

Psalm 119:130 says:

“The unfolding of your words gives light and understanding to the simple.”

The Word contains depths that must be unfolded.

And when the details of the Body of the Word are unfolded, they bring light—the revelation knowledge of the Father (Psalm 119:130; 2 Corinthians 4:6).

This is also why Jesus said:

“These are the Scriptures that testify about me.”
— John 5:39

The Scriptures are not merely information about religious subjects. They testify about a Person.

The descriptions of the Body of the Word therefore become places of investigation.

The eyes speak.

The face speaks.

The feet speak.

The garments speak.

The voice speaks.

And through these descriptions, we begin to encounter dimensions of the Person of the Word—and consequently dimensions of the Father.

The emotions of God are also revealed.

Isaiah 59:17 describes God clothing Himself with zeal “as a cloak.”

A garment covers and expresses the person wearing it.

If the garments of God are described through Scripture, and Scripture testifies about the Word, then the imagery of God's garments becomes another doorway into understanding His Person.

The Body of the Word, therefore, becomes a profound vocabulary for understanding the emotions of God.

His zeal.

His longing.

His desire.

His hunger.

His compassion.

His grief.

His expectation.

His pleasure.

His intensity.

These are not abstract theological categories. They are dimensions of the Person of God that Scripture progressively reveals.

And who searches these depths for us?

The Holy Spirit.

Jesus says in John 16:13–15 that the Spirit of truth will take what belongs to Christ and make it known to us.

Paul adds:

“The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God.”
— 1 Corinthians 2:10

The Body of the Word is therefore not a closed mystery.

It is a treasury to be searched.

The Holy Spirit searches the deep things of God and unfolds them so that we can know the Father more precisely.

This is why revelation is more than acquiring information.

Revelation is discovering what is already contained in the Person of the Word.

And perhaps this explains one of the great spiritual questions of our time:

Why does God seem to be searching the hearts of His people?

Because the Father is looking for a place where the Body of theWord can be understood.

He is looking for hearts that can become tables upon which His food is received.

He is looking for minds that can accommodate the revelation of His Son.

He is looking for people who will not merely quote Scripture, but will allow Scripture to reveal the Person of Christ.

The blazing eyes of the Word are still searching.

And the question is:

What are they looking for in us?

Perhaps the answer is simpler—and more demanding—than we imagined:

Understanding.

An understanding of the Body of the Word.

An understanding of the Father.

An understanding deep enough to shape how we live, how we build, how we govern, how we work, and ultimately how we participate in the economic destinies of nations.

The Father wants His form reproduced on the earth through people who have seen, understood and received the revelation of the Body of the Word.

This is why we must return to Scripture—not merely to read it, but to unfold it.

Because somewhere within the details is light.

And somewhere within the light is the knowledge of the Father.

And somewhere within that knowledge is the revelation of the Person of the Word.

DAILY BREAD FELLOWSHIP

Today’s Scripture

John 2:2 (ESV)

“Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.”

Opening the Scriptures

Yesterday we entered a wedding celebration in Cana. Today John gives us another simple detail: Jesus and His disciples had been invited.

Nothing miraculous has happened yet.

Jesus is simply present among ordinary people during an ordinary event in their lives.

Yet the disciples who came with Him were beginning an extraordinary journey. They had left their former lives to follow Jesus, but they still had much to learn about the One they were following.

Soon they would witness something at this wedding that would deepen their understanding of who Jesus truly is.

For now, they simply went where Jesus went.

That is a simple but important picture of discipleship.

Living God’s Word Today

Following Jesus does not mean inviting Him into selected areas of our lives while keeping control of everything else.

Christ is not a guest whom we welcome when convenient and ignore when His presence interferes with our plans.

He is Lord.

The disciples were learning that following Jesus meant going where He led them. That same principle remains true for us.

We follow Christ when His Word agrees with what we want, and we follow Him when His Word confronts what we want.

We follow Him in church, but also in our homes.

We follow Him when people are watching and when nobody sees us.

We follow Him when obedience is comfortable and when obedience costs us something.

There is another important warning here. Inviting Jesus into our lives does not mean that He has come to fulfill all our personal desires. At Cana, Jesus was not present to become a servant of human wishes. What would soon happen would reveal His glory and His divine authority.

That distinction matters.

Christianity is not about adding Jesus to the life we have already chosen.

It is about surrendering ourselves to the Christ who calls us to follow Him.

The disciples did not yet understand everything about Jesus.

Neither do we.

But discipleship begins with trusting Him enough to follow.

Today, do not merely ask Christ to accompany your plans.

Open His Word and ask whether your plans are following His will.

Question for Today:
Are you asking Jesus to follow your plans, or are you willing to follow His?

Respond: “Lord Jesus, I will follow You.”

Two weeks before Littleman’s birthday, I said goodbye to him—one of the most difficult moments of my life. On his special day, Hurricane Helene struck, devastating my home and deepening my grief. It has been a challenging journey of healing and rebuilding.
However, I am grateful to share that we have begun to turn that painful chapter behind us. The loss, the destruction, and the hardships are gradually giving way to blessings and new beginnings. In my heart, I knew it was time to open my home and my heart once again, and to welcome a new furry friend.
I prayed for a tiny teacup Chihuahua—a little bundle of love to bring joy and comfort back into my life. I am truly thankful to say that the Lord blessed me with Charlie, a sweet and gentle little guy.
Many of you have asked how you can help or what Charlie needs. I’ve put together a small registry, and if you feel led, you can bless Charlie by choosing something from this list. Your kindness will help him feel loved and cared for.
Thank you all for your love, prayers, and support. It means the world to me—and to Charlie. ~charlotte Please click on the link

LESSON:
Matthew 7:16-20

As a matter of fact, today's message is a self reflection, that's why it's topic is:

TOPIC:
WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIAN AM I?

TEXT:
You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles?
Matthew 7:16–20 (NKJV)

INTRODUCTION:
It is easy to ask, “What kind of church do I attend?” or “What kind of Christians are around me?” But today, God is asking a more personal question:
What kind of Christian am I?
Christianity is more than attending church, carrying a Bible, singing worship songs, or being known as a believer. Jesus wants our faith to be visible in the way we live, speak, love, forgive, serve and represent Him.
The real test of Christianity is not simply what we profess with our lips, but what our lives produce.
Be immensely blessed by the word in Jesus name.

EXPOSITION:
With a sincere mind, let's examine and consider these 3 basic important points.

1. WHAT KIND OF FRUIT IS MY LIFE PRODUCING?
Matthew 7:16–20; Galatians 5:22–23; John 15:4–5
Jesus said, “You will know them by their fruits.”
Notice that Jesus did not say people would be known merely by their appearance, religious vocabulary, church position or spiritual title. He said they would be known by their fruit. Fruit is evidence of what is happening inside a tree. In the same way, our daily conduct reveals what is happening in our hearts.

A Christian may speak about love, but how do I treat people who offend me? I may talk about forgiveness, but can I forgive those who hurt me? I may preach holiness, but what happens when nobody is watching? I may say that I trust God, but what happens when I face disappointment? These are the moments when our fruit becomes visible.
Galatians 5:22–23 describes the fruit of the Spirit as love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.

This gives us something practical to examine.
Is there love in me? Is there patience in me?
Is there self-control in me? Can people see Christ in the way I respond under pressure?
Because sometimes, the greatest testimony we preach is not from the pulpit. It is through our behaviour when life does not go according to our expectations. Jesus also said in John 15:5, “He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit.”

Fruitfulness is therefore connected to our relationship with Christ. We cannot consistently produce Christlike character while living far from Christ. The question is not whether we once produced good fruit. The question is: What is my life producing now?

EXPOSITION:
2. AM I A LIGHT THAT LEADS PEOPLE TO CHRIST OR A STUMBLING BLOCK?
Matthew 5:14–16; Romans 14:13; 1 Peter 2:12
Jesus said, “You are the light of the world.”
That means our Christianity is not supposed to remain inside the church building. People are watching us.
Our neighbours are watching. Our colleagues are watching. Our family members are watching. Young people are watching. Even people who disagree with Christianity are watching.

Sometimes, before they read the Bible, they read our lives. This is why we must ask ourselves a difficult question: Does my lifestyle make people desire to know Jesus, or does it give them another reason to reject Him? A Christian can become a stumbling block through bitterness, dishonesty, hypocrisy, arrogance, unforgiveness, gossip, immoral behaviour or an abusive attitude. Imagine telling someone that Jesus changes lives, while that person consistently sees anger, hatred and dishonesty in our own life.
What message are we communicating?

Romans 14:13 tells believers not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in another believer’s way.
This does not mean that we live our lives based on people's opinions. It means we recognize that Christian freedom carries Christian responsibility.
Our lives should make the Gospel attractive, not contradictory. Jesus said in Matthew 5:16:
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”

The purpose of our light is not to make people admire us. It is to make them glorify God. So, when people encounter me, what do they encounter? Christ or character problems? Grace or hostility? Truth or hypocrisy? Love or bitterness? We cannot preach the Gospel effectively with our mouths while preaching a different gospel with our lifestyle.

EXPOSITION:
3. AM I OBEYING CHRIST OR AM I ONLY PRACTISING RELIGION?
John 14:15; James 1:22–25; Matthew 28:19–20
Jesus said plainly: “If you love Me, keep My commandments.” That means genuine Christianity must eventually produce obedience. It is possible to become very familiar with church activities while becoming unfamiliar with obedience to Christ.
We can attend services, participate in programmes, sing loudly, pray publicly and even hold positions in church, yet still ignore the simple commands of Jesus.

Jesus commanded us to love one another.
He commanded us to forgive.
He commanded us to serve.
He commanded us to make disciples.
He commanded us to preach the Gospel.
He commanded us to live as lights in a dark world.
The question therefore becomes:
Am I doing what Jesus asked me to do?

James 1:22 warns us not to be merely hearers of the Word, but doers. Hearing God's Word without obeying it can create the illusion of spiritual maturity.
Knowledge is not the same as obedience.
Knowing that we should forgive is not forgiveness.
Knowing that we should evangelize is not evangelism.
Knowing that we should love is not love.
Knowing that we should live holy is not holiness.
At some point, the Word we hear must become the life we live. And this includes the Great Commission.

Jesus said in Matthew 28:19–20, “Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations.” Every Christian may not stand behind a pulpit, but every Christian has a responsibility to represent Christ. There is somebody around us who needs encouragement.
Somebody needs to hear the Gospel.
Somebody needs to see forgiveness.
Somebody needs to see genuine Christian love.
Somebody may be watching our life and wondering whether Jesus is truly real.

So the question is not merely:
“Am I a Christian?” The deeper question is:
“What kind of Christian am I?”
Am I a Christian by name, or by transformation?
Am I only a church member, or am I a disciple of Jesus? Am I carrying the name of Christ while refusing to carry His character?
This brings us to the conclusion of the message.

CONCLUSION:
Today, the mirror is before us.
Not before our neighbour.
Not before another church member.
Not before society. Before me.
What kind of Christian am I?
May our Christianity be more than words, titles and religious activities. May our lives produce good fruit, shine as lights, and demonstrate obedience to Christ.
Let people encounter us and see something that points them back to Jesus.

CLOSING PRAYER:
Let us pray!
Lord Jesus, make us genuine representatives of Your kingdom. Let our lives produce good fruit, let our character reflect You, and let our actions never become a stumbling block to others. Help us to love, forgive, serve and obey You faithfully. May our lives point people to Christ. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.

GOODWILL MESSAGE:
This is my goodwill message for you this week:
May your life become a living testimony of the transforming power of Jesus Christ. May your words carry grace, your character reveal Christ, and your actions draw others closer to God. May your faith remain fruitful, your light continue to shine, and your life bring glory to your Father in heaven. Amen.

HAPPY WONDERFUL SUNDAY,
HAVE AN AMAZING WEEK.

LIKE IT OR NOT!
JESUS IS COMING BACK AGAIN SOON!!
REPENT AND BE READY FOR HIM!!!

Hi. Welcome to my series where I will be going through and discussing each of the 10 commandments from the Bible.

The first commandment states:

“I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:2-3)

Return to God and be Uplifted!
Repentance brings a change of attitude concerning God. The sinner naturally vilifies God. Even when he speaks of His love, he has no conception of God’s justice and wrath. True repentance brings a sense of the Holy God who cannot look upon sin. It impacts a change of mind concerning sin itself upon a person.
The unrepentant delight in sin. A child of God may be tempted to sin and even fall into sin, but his bosom aches when he does so. A true child of God who has repented cannot enjoy sin and continuously longs for deliverance. Before every child of God, there is a vision both of what he is and what he ought to be. He cries with the poet; “O that a man might arise in me that I might ease to be.”
Repentance gives the sinners a change of mind concerning him. Before our salvation, we all had a good opinion of ourselves. Like the Pharisees, we often thanked God that, “we were not as other men, extortionist, unjust, adulterers, or even as the publican" (Luke 18:11). But, every one that exalts himself shall be abased, and he that humbles himself shall be exalted (Verse 14). Where there is true repentance, though, men often despair of themselves, and like the publication, their cry is, “God be merciful to me a sinner”. They echo Paul’s exasperated plea: “O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death" (Romans 7:24). For Christ came not to call the righteousness, but sinners to repentance (Luke 5:32).
Repentance affects the motions and will, and also creates a change of feeling. We must beware here lest we are deceived. The old time evangelist who specialized in death-bed stories often created mere human emotion filling the mourners' bench with weeping people. These mourners often had a remorse for their evil doings, deeply regretting they had not been better men and women when they were told about meeting their “mother” in heaven. But remorse in not repentance, though I must say remorse is a very common experience for those who commit sin. Someone has called remorse the “echo of lost virtue”.
Remorse is the attitude of mind and heart for some evil done. Repentance, however, goes deeper. Repentance creates a sorrow for what we are rather that remorse for what we have done. Therefore says the Hebrews writer, “Leaving the principles of the doctrines of Christ (Messiah), let us go into perfection by not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works” (Hebrews 6:1).
Christian repentance is not merely the pangs of an injured conscience. Christian repentance follows the Holy Spirit’s convicting work deep within our soul (John 16:7 and 8). It lays strong hold upon the human will and brings the sinners into conformity with the will of God. It is heeding God’s call from a life of destruction (Mark 1:15). Repentance does not mean merely shedding tears over our wrong doings. It ends in faith in Christ, the Saviour. The Church must preach and teach until these conditions are obtained in the ministries. Then our revival shall have come. For this is the will of God for all mankind (Acts 17:30).
Today what the Church and the continents at large need is repentance. The call of the pulpit to the pew must be repentance. And that of the crusades to the nations must similarly be repentance, and this must eventuate in confession of sins. The scripture, therefore, tells us: “Only acknowledge your iniquity, that you have transgressed against the Lord your God” (Jeremiah3:13).That will move our God to come down and heal our many wounds. We are reminded that, “The Lord’s hands is not shortened, that it cannot save neither is His ear heavy that it cannot hear, but your iniquity have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear” (Isaiah59:1 and 2). He that covers his sins shall not prosper, but whoso confess and forsake them shall have mercy (Proverbs 28:13). “For as many as the Lord loves, He rebukes and chastens; be zealous therefore and repent!” (Revelation 3:19).
The repentance must not only be among the lowly citizens but must spring from the governors trickling to the governed. “Therefore whosoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man which built his house upon a rock. And everyone that hears these sayings of mine and does them not shall be likened to a foolish man which built his house upon the sand,” declares the Lord Jesus Christ (Mathew 7:24 and 26).
Almighty God is calling to the people today as He did to former Israel that, “Therefore also now, says the Lord, Turn even to me with all your heart and with fasting and with weeping and with mourning. And rend your heart and not your garments, and turn to the Lord your God. For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repent Him of the evil. Who knows if He will return and leave a blessing behind Him, even a meat offering and drink offering unto the Lord your God? Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly; gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those that suck the breasts; let the bride-groom go forth of his chamber, and the bride out of her closet. Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord weep between the porch and the altar and let them say: Spare your people O Lord and give not your heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them; wherefore should they say among the people, Where is their God? Then the Lord will be so jealous for His land and pity His people. Yes the Lord will answer and say unto His people, Behold I will send you corn, and wine and oil, and you shall be satisfied therewith; and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen but I will remove far off from you northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face towards the east sea and his hinder part towards the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up and his savor shall come up because he has done great things. Fear not O land; be glad and rejoice; for the Lord will do great things. And I will restore to you the years that locusts has eaten, the cankerworm and the caterpillar and the palmerworm my great army which I sent among you. And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that has dealt wondrously with you, and my people shall never be ashamed" (Joel 2:12-21: 25 and 26).
The Lord’s northern army is the destruction God brings upon a people as a result of their wickedness. Indeed righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people (Proverbs 13:34). For the Lord God of Israel, the Creator of the heavens and the earth loves righteousness and judgement (Psalm 33:5). He stresses that judgement is his strange work (Isaiah 28:21). The reason being that when his judgements are on the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness (Isaiah 26:9). When a nation leaves wickedness and turns to the Lord, such a people receive pardon and sure favour from the Lord God Almighty. The psalmist thus wrote: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord and the people whom He has chosen for His own inheritance” (Psalms 33:12).
The Lord delights in the humility of a people. This makes Him hear our plea and smile back at us with a pardon. And this humility must start in His sanctuary. He says: “If my people, which are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins, and will heal their land” (2 Chronicles 7:14). Therefore every Christian by and far, let us rally in repentance for the healing of our lands. For repentance turns away God’s wrath.
Nineveh found itself in a similar situation many African nations are in today. Plagued with wickedness in diverse places and faced with imminent judgment, the Almighty God used Jonah to deliver a message of judgment to the people of Nineveh: “Surely the Lord God will do nothing but He reveals His secrets to His servants the prophets” (Amos 3:7). Unlike most of our folks who hear and turn the head the other way, the Ninevehs believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest-including the king-to the least of them. And God saw their works that they turned from their evil way, and God repented them of the evil that he had said He would bring upon them, and He did it not (Jonah 3).
Repentance touches the core of God’s heart. Humble yourself and return to the Lord your Creator. Repentance automatically brings healing. The Lord says, “Wash you, and make you clean; put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes, cease to do evil. Learn to do well, seek judgment, relieve the oppressed, and judge the fatherless plead for the widow. Come now and let us reason together; though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow: though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool. If ye be willing and obedient you shall eat the good of the land” (Isaiah 1:16-19).
The Living God is the healer of nations. The psalmist has declared of Him: “God be merciful to us, and cause His face to shine upon us. That your way may be known upon the earth, your saving health among all nations” (Psalm 67:1 and 2). Perhaps this ought to be the prayer on everyone’s lips now.
Stay awake O Christian in the truth!
The good LORD has always extended this gracious invitation to man over the millennia. And, therefore, if it is your desire to know Him as He truly is - the Lord of lords and King of kings, the Savior, and Redeemer of mankind, then pray this prayer of repentance unto salvation: “Lord Jesus Christ, I come to you with all the sins I have committed and I beg you to forgive me. I confess that I am a sinner and that I cannot save myself. Please cleanse my body, soul, and spirit with your precious blood. I need your help Lord, and I ask you to come and live in my heart. I want to serve you, obey your commands and do what is right. I want to live for you every day, please lead and guide me by your Spirit into righteousness. Thank you, O Lord for hearing and answering my prayer. Amen!”
Welcome now to this grand and mighty army of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ on earth. Read the Bible often, and join a congregation near you where Christ Jesus is preached and the Almighty Godhead: Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit, is worshiped in Spirit and in Truth for your own spiritual growth and strength.
The Almighty God make you the apple of His eyes as I solemnly declare of Him: “After He has honored me and has sent me against the nations that have plundered you - for whoever touches you touches the apple of His eye - I will surely raise my hand against them so that their slaves will plunder them” (Zachariah 2:8). The peace and love of Christ Jesus the Lord be with you now and forever.

Kingdom Carriers | Beyond the Uniform

Around midday on Wednesday, I was making my way to the hospital chapel for our weekly time of fellowship and prayer.

As I approached, I noticed a gentleman from our security team sitting quietly inside.

From a distance, the uniform caught my attention first.

But then I noticed something else.

He was reading his Bible.

I had seen him around the hospital before. We had exchanged greetings in passing, but we had never really stopped to talk.

This time I did.

I introduced myself, and he told me his name was Tama.

I explained that a few of us gather in the chapel every Wednesday around midday for fellowship and prayer, and that he would always be welcome to join us.

As others began arriving and our fellowship was about to start, I sensed Tama would soon need to return to his duties.

So before he left, I excused myself for a moment and brought him a copy of Kingdom Carriers.

He received it gratefully.

I watched briefly as he looked at the front cover, turned it over, and began reading the back.

Then he returned to his duties.

That was it.

No long conversation.

No dramatic ending.

And I don't know what God will do with that brief encounter.

But afterwards, one thought stayed with me:

At first I saw a uniform. When I stopped, I met a brother.

How easily we identify people by what we first see.

The uniform. The occupation.
The position. The label.

But Jesus consistently looked beyond what people did and saw the person standing before Him.

Perhaps there are people we pass regularly whose faces we recognise, but whose names we have never learnt.

Sometimes a Kingdom encounter doesn't begin with preaching.

It begins by stopping long enough to see the person.

Wednesday reminded me:

There is always more to someone than the uniform they wear.

I sowed a small seed.

What happens next belongs entirely to God.

All glory and honour belong to Him.

Grace and peace,

Jacob
