Through my children ...?
There are two promises the Lord gave me:
(1) John 6:1-15 (to me) and (2) Matthew 16:18 (to my church, Victory Presbyterian Church).
(1) The first word of promise is,
When I offer my life to the Lord like a boy who offered his 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread to Jesus,
it is a promise that the Lord will use me as a tool to feed 5,000 men alone.
(I struggled with the Word for over 20 years, not knowing what it meant.
What I came to realize a little was that when I meditated and shared the words of Jesus,
who is the bread of life, day and night.
It seems that the Lord uses the words of meditation as His tools),
(2) The second word of promise is
that the Victory Presbyterian Church where I serve as senior pastor
(a) It is the Lord's church, and (b) it is the promise that the Lord will build His church.
As was reading 1 Kings 8:15,
The though that came to my mind was that
the Lord will fulfill His words of promise
not only through me but also through my children as well.
