To Greet the Chiefs
Tonight I sit at my desk reading in Acts as Paul writes of his trips to various cities and think of my journey tomorrow.
In the afternoon tomorrow I plan on driving to Amakom at Lake Bosomtwe to spend the night at the clinic. A friend will go with me, a missionary colleague (Lloyd). We will get up early on Tuesday morning to tackle the purpose for this trip.
The reason to go is to meet the chief and elders in four different villages on that side of the lake. It's the next step into our life and work in the region.
I know that God will give me the words to say. It's a formality, yet in the spirit realm it is shaking the mountains there. I go in the name of the Lord and I am His ambassador - what more do I need really. What a joy and priviledge it is to represent the King of all creation as I go to meet, to greet these chiefs.
My prayer is that I do represent Him well, that my words are as the very words of God. May they see Jesus when they see me, that they will sense the presence of God when we are meeting with them and be drawn to their Father.
I'm not sure what it will be like exactly. I'm not sure where I will sleep, what I will eat, or how - but I know who holds my hand and who protects me and that is all that matters.
I would post a photo, yet our internet connection
is way too slow :)
