Early 2020 and everyone got caught up with the news about a new virus that is hitting Wuhan, China. It was unprecedented that after 3 months when the news broke out, the entire world seems to be at the forefront of a new war - the COVID19 virus attacking almost everyone across the globe.
It's been 2 years since I stopped writing anything on this part of the blog because I felt the Lord has placed me in isolation for some time. I remember Elijah, when at the times when he hid in the caves to prepare to what is to come.
In 1 Kings 19:11 to 13, it chronicled how Elijah went to Mount Horeb and out of depression, didn't want to go back to what he was asked to do. It shares:
The Lord said, “Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by.”
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
Sometimes, the Lord doesn't speak to us through the winds of life, nor the earthquake that will hit us or even with fire of struggles but as a gentle whisper after everything has happened.
Yes, in my silence, the Lord met me where I am and used the season to prepare me for the next. More than a week ago, I started to post videos that encourages through my Instagram account and Facebook page. It was nothing instant, I had to learn and share in a span of less than a minute an encouragement.
It was more of an experimental thing for me. Some of you probably is asking why I started doing such. Well, early last year, a prophetic minister who came to teach for 3 weeks in our Leadership Enhancement Training shared a prophetic word for me. I just listened and received the word with much excitement and perplexity.
She mentioned that I'll be used by the Lord to spread the kingdom work and message through technology. She said that she is not sure how I will go about it but definitely, that's how she is hearing it from the Lord.
Only this week that I realized that I have been living this prophetic call all along. As many of you know, I am a blogger and I love to write and post stuff online. Not only that, I am more keen to be at the back of the lens when it comes to documenting a lot of church activities and all.
But little did I know that God will align both passion to bring in a new season of this ministry. Yes, I am going back to this ministry that I have left. I'll go back to writing and share my thoughts about many topics to encourage, equip and honor the Lord's call in my life.
If you happen to enjoy my writing, you may also follow me at our Generations Project Philippines page to hear more about what I'm doing. We are coming into a new season where God will use technology to bring to light the fulfillment of His promise and we as forerunners are on the forefront of taking in the next season for the glory of our Father's name through the gospel message of Jesus Christ and in the power of the Holy Spirit!
