Are you a lifelong church goer who has seen your congregation dwindle and age along with yourself? Are you discouraged and downhearted? Look up, God is still on his throne, he is still sovereign. He can yet use you for his glory.In Ephesians 1 verse 19 Paul speaks about "the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe." This is the power that raised Jesus from the dead. It is the power that saves us. Do not give up, your God is with you and will work through you if you tell him you are willing. Sometimes God is waiting for the right moment to act. We find waiting very difficult, but if you can wait it will be worth waiting for.
You may think it is all very well for me to say these things, you may think I come from a large church. Well on a good day we might get six people in our congregation. If I can be upbeat about it, so can you. God was never interested in big numbers. He just wants faithful followers. Be faithful.

6 here last week including Minister and organist
ReplyDeleteWe were three last week, two local preachers and the minister. But we had fourteen at the coffee morning the previous day. God can work with a small number. Remember how he cut Gideon's army down to 300 so that they would realise that the victory was God's. He can use a small number for his glory again. Don't give up. Thanks for commenting.
