A few years ago, my household head in Couples for Christ approached me and said "you are being called to be our new chapter head". Wow! My head spun, everything went black, and I was thinking "what just happened?". Am I ready for this? Am I qualified for this task? Then a voice came into my head asking me "where is your faith?".There's the answer! God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called!
My wife and I accepted this new service with nothing but faith in our God. We've faced challenges and difficulties along the way. But the biggest challenge was not in our service, it is in our age! A lot of members are saying that we are too young to lead! I don't blame them for their children are older than I am. Yet, we continued on our service with the support of our family, friends and other members.
Its been three years since that day we accepted this service and God has showered us with everything we ever needed and more! He guided us through all the challenges we've faced and always came up on top! We were tested by fire, and like gold we survived. We survived by holding on to God and His words! Truly God is enough, He is our sure foundation. Just like in John15:5, "I am the vine and you are the branches. Whoever remains in Me and I in them shall bear much fruit. For you can do nothing without Me", we remained in Him and as promised, we bore much fruit.
The next time God calls you for service, just accept it with an open heart and faith in God, and He will make sure that you will bear much fruit!
Are you ready?
