Let God be God

Alvin the Chipmunk (Ringtone) greeted me early last Sunday. It was a distress call. Such call to duty is a common portion of a minister's life. Jerk myself from the slumber mood to get ready to be on the go to meet the need. I felt a deep sense of unpreparedness and inadequacy. No matter how much we know or how learned we are it is hard to prepare for such an emergency call like this.

Let me get straight to the point, one of the maid of a Church member got up early that morning with a rage of anger and smash a glass on the floor. She picks up a broken piece of glass and started cutting herself on the wrist, and she writhed on the floor and was crying uncontrollably in a sort of a trance state.

Reaching the scene, we calm her down in the name of the Lord, and brought her back to the Church to be prayed for. This young lady was possessed by evil spirits. As we pray for her, she resisted and her strength was phenomenal. After about an hour of prayer the Lord had the final victory and she was delivered from the evil spirits.

Throughout this moment, I can only Let God be God, He has to take over and make the difference. We witness the grace and power of God at work. All glory to Him. God does and continues to reveals His people glimpses of his power and reality. Supernatural and the miraculous still happen.

We cannot coerce it to happen. Neither does it happen every day. The fact is it happens and when it happens it humbles us to reckon our human frailty and inadequacy. God's is the one who is in control, it is only Him can cause the miraculous. We are just His channels and instruments of His grace and power. We take deserve no credit and cannot take any credit to the victory accomplished. We can however be thankful that we have been given the privilege to participate and to witness the moments of the power demonstration of His grace.
