Passion, Purpose, Potential

I get to visit quite a number of schools whenever I have the privilege of traveling with Diguna Mission (www.diguna.de) around Kenya. Late last year (2010) I joined the school ministry team on a weekend tour of a cold Kenyan town known as Kinamba. We got to visit a few primary and secondary schools in which we were allowed at least an hour to have a program with the pupils and students in those schools. Mostly, I prefer to play guitar as someone else does the singing. I nowadays also have the added blessing of presenting songs from my debut solo album SHELTER. Many schools we visit have students who cannot afford the money to buy the CD so the best I can do is to make the song as memorable as possible, then hope the message rings continuously in their hearts.
I learnt the guitar albeit reluctantly but got hooked on it once I realized how sweet it was. I learnt to sing so that I would enjoy my personal devotion time with God. As amazing as He is, God decided to use both the guitar playing and the songs to minister to many people so that it is not only He and I that enjoy the gift. I have had the blessing of singing in and out of Kenya, and hope to be able to visit many more countries and continents, sharing the Gospel in song and also in the preaching of His Word.
I get the occasional opportunity to preach though nowadays that opportunity is not as frequent as it was before. I have so much bubbling inside and no means of bringing it out, except through music, for the moment. I look forward to greater things, to sold out audiences hungry for the songs God uses me to write and sing. My purpose is threefold: Music, Mentoring, Ministry. To make music that leaves no heart untouched, to mentor young people in the fear and love of God and to minister to those who would be sent my way by Jesus. There is a lot of potential (stored energy) that is yet to come out of me, but as I learnt in church this morning, God works with seasons and it is He who designs the seasons. Therefore I wait on Him and trust Him for direction and for His presence. What are you trusting God for? What great thing are you expecting God to do through you this year, FOR HIS GLORY?
