One Thing


John Mulinda is a Ugandan minister. There is currently a great move of God among the nations of Africa – many people are being saved.  Pastor Mulinda has been asked to share what’s happening in Africa with churches in the United States, since so many churches here have dropped in attendance.

Pastor Mulinda says that churches in America try to do too many things.  Church-going Americans try to do so many things in the name of Jesus that sometimes they miss the one thing they are each supposed to do.  Some of us are better at some things – others are better at other things.   Churches are no different.  He said we each must seek the Heart of God first, and then go after the thing we were made to do.   Not only that – we should also seek Him for the way to do it.  Sounds like a lot of listening to God.

Sometimes in all our busy-ness we, as individuals, avoid listening to the One who made us.  It’s a little scary – allowing God to interrupt our routine.  If you currently do not have a church in which to serve, perhaps this is your opportunity to hear God.  The One Who operates with perfect clarity of mind has made us each so marvelously different – so He can accomplish different parts of His plan through each of us.
