A wise man or woman observers first, then they reason on what they have observed, they then would seek the counsel of a person they have connected with, they a Plan of Action is agreed to and if it’s God’s Will… It will happen in His time.
Here is a fact, no one owns God’s Church… We all serve at the will of the Pastor as he is led by God.
According to The Acts of the Apostles Chapter 9:31 (KJV)
“Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied.
This means keep the faith, keep walking, be deliberate, specific, and consistent and God Himself will make room for you! He did for all of us!
The Leadership & Members are The Church at Historic Elizabeth Missionary Baptist Church and although we have a beautiful, historic edifice to worship in … we are all clear on this fact!
