Thanks Mukoma Simba. That is really something to ponder on. How many times have we received a breakthrough after someone stood with us and when it came we acted like "it just happened".
May God forgive us. Pastor Bonnie gave an illustration once of how someone lays down their life to make something happen and doesn`t give up until the fruit comes and when we look at it we say "it just happened its the grace of God". But Paul said he used the grace of God to work harder than all the Apostles, he used the grace to go through whippings and the cold and fastings ad trials. Here is the thing however, it is the grace of God but someone had to make themselves available to use the grace to work hard, to persevere, it doesn`t become less painful and the fruit we see may not have happened if someone had not perservered. When I think about this it makes me appreciate Pastor Lync and S. Nkosie more. It makes me appreciate our leadership in Vibe. Guys these things just don`t happen someone has to lay down their lives even if its just for a season but without that sacrifice we won`t enjoy the benefits we take for granted. As Vibers lets learn to be grateful, lets learn to say thank you, lets learn to go up to people who you know are working hard for you and say thanks. Some of us are staying with our siblings who are sacrificing for us lets say thank you, lets say thank you to our parents. There is a group of guys who are working flat out to make Camp 2011 happen, find one of them (be intentional about it) and say thank you. *Mukoma Simba thank you for bringing us the Word every morning you don`t have to but you do it anyway. Thank you.* Thank you Vibers for sticking with the Tribe and making it fabulous!! You make Castle great...oops sorry I meant you make Vibe great!! Thank you, thank you. Lets be doers of the Word guys and not be like the ungrateful cupbearer. I`ll have to stop now but that story is so touching Joseph said when all goes well with you remember me. Lets remember the people who have been a part of things going well with us. Amen.
