MINISTRY WITHOUT RETIREMENT

Can you imagine; how time takes off and soar gone? Like a twinkling of an eye, not hard to recall when one was bouncing as if in arrogance in youthful exuberance; it looked like one would escape the winding of time. But glory to God Almighty, I am 70 today!

This is where it is considered in many quarters as an entrance into the myth of retirement. But amazingly, eternity orientation does not welcome beginnings and ends. All Kingdom citizens are ever useful tools for transformation without age limits. In fact, this is what makes the Spiritual journey mysterious; not knowing where we are coming from nor where we go! (John 3:3-8).

At Seventy (70), and learning to walk with God than I had ever done it before; then God keeps revealing Himself without a shadow of doubt; He graciously remains faithful to uphold His Word concerning me. Thank You Lord! I hear Him say to me:

"Although your coming into life was not predicted as it were of John the Baptist and Jesus Christ, it was hidden from people and you; however, just like My concept for all people, all were meant to be great in My sight, not in the sight of men. I am revealing this about you by the Holy Spirit, what eyes have not seen, nor ears heard, nor what the hearts of men perceived what I have in stock for you as you continue to walk with Me." Amen and Amen Oh Lord God Almighty in Christ Jesus!

A lot about us from God shall continue to flow from the mainstream of the divine as we keep our focus to do His will without compromise. I am confident to say, at 70, though I had made blunders at one point of my lifetime or another as it's obvious about everyone, but I have no regrets whatsoever. With the careful guidance of the Holy Spirit, each station of my life had served as a training session in God's college of mercy!

That is why today I can boldly declare, I have no business with world's retirement mentality. In fact, in the realm of God, for me, this is where the real life and ministry with God begins! Are you talking of fun? Spiritually, life with God is wonderfully exiting!

Never make the mistake of trying to offer your life as leftover to God. Though He would not mind to use remnants, yet allow Him to use you in soul winning and making disciples of all nations (Mt 24:14, Acts 1:8) from age one to full old age, and let His NAME alone be glorified for ever and ever. AMEN!
