Today’s Q.T. is still insisting on waiting on God till He comes. “To those who eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.” Heb 9:28

Bishop Paul was talking to us, group of people, last night also about waiting on God. apparently it’s a big topic! how long can you wait on Him in prayer? Till you get tired … till you have to leave … or tell you hear Him. How eager are we?

Yesterday’s Quiet Time was so powerful (Acts 16:16-34)! St. Paul had the Roman Citizenship that could have saved him from beatings and jail and yet he never opened his mouth or mentioned it. He preferred to wait on God to save him not his power, position or people. He preferred to be beaten and imprisoned over saving himself by his own power. That’s why God did a great miracle and opened the doors of the jail for him; He even saved people through this experience. Had he claimed his rights as a Roman citizen he wouldn’t have experienced God’s power and miracle. We need to learn to sit still and wait on God even before we open our mouth, before defending ourselves, before solving problems OUR way. Waiting on God to do things His way at His own timing. We often loose great opportunities seeing God’s miracles because we don’t wait on Him. There is always human solutions and godly solution to every problem; Godly solution shall come by waiting on God NOT by forcing our agenda on Him.

The first and biggest miracle of Christianity will remain to be “the changed lives”. Only Christ can turn Saul to Paul, a tax collector to an apostle and a criminal to a saint. No other power or religion on earth can do that; therefore the changed lives will remain to be the biggest miracle of Christianity.

Since Holy Week I have noticed a lot of changes in the lives of many people including myself. Even the theme of this past Holy Week was “Changed lives” without any one planning it; it was totally His plan. One of the greatest privileges and blessings of being a priest is to witness the change in people’s lives.

May be you are one of them! When is the last time you had a drastic change in your life? May be it’s about time! So I invite you to listen to ALL the sermons of this past Holy Week, in order. These were not my words or Abouna Anthony’s; they were the words of the Holy Spirit to His children.
