Worship at the WellNäide

Last year was quite a year! The pandemic took most of us by surprise and nobody seemed to be prepared. We all had a variety of emotions including fear, frustration, anger, anxiety, sadness, uncertainty, disappointment, loneliness, and maybe some even felt a sigh of relief that life as we know it came to an immediate halt.

If you were like me, you were running from store to store to find toilet paper, food, and basic necessities for your family. During this season, I kept hearing the word "prepare". I felt an urgency to get back to the basics of Prayer, Scripture, and Worship. The time for sitting on the sidelines is over. The time for building our own kingdoms has ended. We have lived comfortably for too long. Many of us have lived for ourselves and served Baal.

I am reminded of Elijah in 1 Kings 18:21 when he asked the people how long would they waver between two opinions. 

If the Lord is God, follow him but if Baal follow him.

It’s time to choose, to Pray, to believe the Word, and to have a heart for the lost. It’s time to prepare! Let’s be like the five wise virgins in Matthew 25 who prepared and had oil in their jars.

Jesus is coming back for His glorious Bride. It is time to prepare and be the Bride that He is coming for. It’s time!
