Hey everybody! So it has definitely been a few weeks since I last posted a blog. My apologies on negligence! I have definitely been very very busy! With 2 jobs and Greek class I have felt quite overwhelmed as of late! We only have 2 weeks of classes left here at the Seminary! I am actually stunned by how quickly this semester has passed! I have been a little passive towards my Greek within the last week! I have allowed an excuse to working a lot to resort to way too much laziness! I am still making a high grade in my Greek class but I am not interested in just making an A in the class. God has been moving within my heart as of late to press me towards diligence to understanding His Word better! Not so I can boast about how much more I know than the next guy here at the Seminary but so that I can preach the gospel more soundly! When I evangelize to others, I don't want to have a confused facial expression because I have not been diligent enough in my practice of Greek and the study of the Holy Word! I ask all that read this blog to pray for me! Pray that my heart would continue to be convicted so that I might be the light to the darkness!
As for my job status! There have been some shifting if you will. My last night with Target was actually this past Saturday! I will continue to work for UPS because of how much assistance I receive in my education funds! I have been trying more and more to be involved with Highview and the members within the body of the church! I have been attending a campus church through Highview, which is based on the University of Louisville. I talked with the pastor of the campus church about being involved with the media ministry at the campus church. Dan, the pastor at the campus church recently offered me a media staff position at Southern Seminary! For this I am so excited, I am without words! Because of this opportunity I will have access to resources I need in order to create media resources to aid the proclamation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ! I am most certain that God has me at this campus church for a reason! God has already weighed my heart heavily for the students on campus!
Now, just to share a little more about the situation at Target! I am no longer an employee obviously but I was surprised by how much of a connection that God has planted from me to others that I worked with at the Target store! I was only at this store for no more than 2 months and yet when many came to understand the news of my leaving the store they were unhappy with my decision to leave. I can only resort to the essence of the power of the gospel in this instance! For I will be blunt in saying that because of how busy I was at Target, I was honestly not given many opportunities to really sit down and talk about the Lord with others! Therefore, I conclude that the Spirit of Christ was heavily at work within me during my time at the store! Moreover; I am pressed to visit the store when I am able to, in order that I might continue to share the gospel with these employees at the store! Praise God for the work of His gospel to men everywhere! Would you please, also pray for these employees as I search for more opportunities to reveal the gospel to them!
This next request for prayer is of high value! I am in utter despair over my coworkers at UPS! Not that it is a surprise to me but I sense a very supernatural darkness while working with the coworkers in my area! This fact causes me to have a bit more hesitancy in how I present the gospel! I must be honest in saying that I have taken very little efforts in sharing the good news with these people! I truly beleive that this is cause by the spirit of timidity by the devil himself! I feel more and more frustrated with myself when I leave my job at UPS! Its not that I have the power to save these people! I know that this an obvious statment but I know that God has placed His sovereign hand over this situation and that I am called to be within this particular mission field! I truly want the people I work with at UPS to see the gospel in me! Please! Please! Pray for these people and for this evil power of timidity that is at work within me to be vanquished and that I would have more and more opportunities to share the good news with these people!
I sincerely thank everyone for their prayers and encouragement! God is at work in the city! I can see it more and more! I pray that I can only die more and more to myself in order that Christ and Christ alone is seen and I fade away!
For His kingdom,
Twiga
