Sunday was a day of celebration. I had the pleasure of preaching at a local church in Ndola. Singing with the people of Zambia is an experience almost worth the cost of the trip in itself. I am convinced that the Zambian people will have a significant role in leading the choir in heaven. What a celebration!
I preached from the text of John 6, examining the words of Jesus the day after he fed the 5000. He makes the will of God very clear in his conversation with the people: the will of God is to believe in Jesus. In this passage we see three types of people responding to his words: the crowd (who want Him to feed them again); the religious leaders (who fear losing their authority and influence); and the committed (who know Jesus has the words of eternal life). Which group do you belong to?
Later that afternoon, we celebrated with Living Hope International as they dedicated their land. They have 40 acres on which they will ultimately build a school, medical clinic, church and homes to house 100 orphans. It was a God-glorifying celebration. The chief of the Mushili tribe was present as he granted them land and helped them secure surrounding parcels from their neighbors. I am especially happy for Lee and Trina Davis to see this next step toward the accomplishing of their dream take place.
I apologize for the blog being out of order, but I needed to share this thought as it came to me. God bless you all.
