On Tuesday we had our home group at my place, and the Lord allowed me to learn a valuable lesson that I hope I will never forget. We started worshiping and as I got into the presence of God I really felt th anointing of the Lord. After a short while I started feeling a burning sensation in my lower back, and not having been suffering from back pain I asked the Lord whether He wanted to heal anyone in the group form back pain. The lesson is this, instead of stopping everything that we were doing and asking if anyone had any pain in their lower back, I continued worshiping, sort-of getting lost in the flow of things and thinking that later we could have a time of ministry and prayer for healing. After a few more minutes I suddenly see this brother with a perplexed look on his face bending forward, and setting himself back straight over and over again. He then said that he had been suffering from pain in his lower back, and it was getting worse as he was involved in construction work, among other things. Even without asking the Lord for it, in the atmosphere of worship the pain just left. C'mon!

I rejoice in that my bro. got healed from his affliction, but I cannot but think that the Lord wanted to use ME to bring this healing, and because I did not STOP EVERYTHING and go with God's KAIROS moment, the Lord in His awesome goodness just went ahead and healed him anyway. Cool as though this healing was, this would have been way cooler had I been used by God for this! I do not know if I am making sense here, but in learning to co-labour with God I want to be at a place where I am available, sensitive, and free to cooperate. Free from hindrances, fears, insecurities, and the like.

Friends, I do not want to look back at my life and imagine what may have been that never was.
