Romans 8:19 says, “for the greatest expectation of the creation waits for the revelation of the sons (bane, ben or bin, meaning ‘builders of the family’)of God”. In this case the family of God on the earth, the Kingdom of God to be more precise, where God is present and exerting His rule.
Having known Pearl for almost a decade and a half, I have watched her grow from a seeker of God’s presence to the emitter of the same. Prayer and intercession had so much characterized the desperate young lioness right through to that point in 2000, when she was launched into the wilderness to fend for herself, as a mighty huntress. Pearl has gone through the meal and the broilers of our time, but is emerging a carrier of God’s presence.
Looking at her today, I have no doubt she is one of those “sons” of God like I meet around the globe, which God is raising. Listening to her minister, one has so much hope for Africa and the world, that indeed, not too long down the line, most of us that will be around may not recognize what our nations would like. There is a shifting coming for sure.
To Pearl, I can only say, continue to decrease (Humility) that He may increase, the future is bright, and you will impact your generation and fulfill your God-given destiny. |
