The importance of preparedness

by Michael Oluwatosin OKUWOBIpublished on February 10, 2021

God calls us to do things for the Kingdom and oftentimes, we aren’t ready in the space that we are at the moment to carry it out. In this week’s devotional, Pastor Dele Okuwobi dives into why it is so important to lean into the training that God is putting us through to prepare us for the work that we each have been called to.

Life is not a simple endeavor. It is okay to lean on God when caught in tough times or uncertainty. In this week’s devotional, Pastor Dele Okuwobi shows us that we don’t have to go through those spaces alone; that we can lean into God in those spaces.

It's easy to find safety in a "just me and God" or even "just me and a few friends" mindsets. What would richness in relationships look like if we leaned into the "more" of relationships with the people God has placed in our path?

When we think about injustice, it involves the oppressed and the oppressor; interestingly enough, both people are loved by God and created with glory and honor. How do we both confront the indignity of injustice while preserving the dignity that God created in the human being that we're confronting? In this week's devotional, Pastoral resident Ashley Edelen helps us understand the depths of dignity. Offering dignity to the oppressor and preserving the oppressed's dignity is hard to hear and live out. (Don't miss this week's word study on Friday; it will give you great insight into the depth and completeness of the Hebrew word righteous).

We have to contend for unity in the church, and we will need each other to withstand the difficult path toward it. In this week's devotional, we ask a simple question: Why is unity in the Church so important to God?
