God has laid a sense of expectation in my heart, of great things to happen. There are so many great things to happen in RR ministry this year.

What does this greatness look like? It comes in the form of souls saved, lives changed, kids wanting to advance on their own, kids achieving medals, and not just once a year or what, but every meeting.

Leaders are the backbone of this ministry. Each one of you plays an important part. Not me or Cmdr Eddy alone, all of us are important.

We cannot see a fruitful ministry happen if we have weak or tired leaders. Royal Rangers is a discipling and mentoring ministry. That means we allow disciples to be apart of our lives; and we share the work of the Lord in our lives with them and impart to them fruit that grows from our lives. How are we to do this if we ourselves have nothing to offer but our tiredness and our overcoming problems? All of us need to stay strong in the Lord.

Don’t take circumstances as a sign of God’s favour or calling to serve. If anything at all, I have a dozen things I can complain about my life right now but I decide in my heart that I am a leader, I am a servant, i am anointed, I am ready to serve.

I draw from today’s Sunday message about promises… God has promised strength when we wait on Him. Sometimes we cannot receive because our hands are full of something else. When the Bible talks about receiving, it is often in the context of claiming or redeeming. Like redeeming points for rewards, except that God wants to take our weakness and brokenness in exchange for life and strength.

In closing, I go back to my first statement about great things to happen. For great things to happen in the ministry, this is how the prayer of Royal Ranger leader needs to looks like: “Lord I may be weak, give me strength to serve the kids, Lord I don’t have much, but use what I have to touch the kids.”

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, And the young men shall utterly fall, But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.” ~ NKJV
