TAKE THE CAP OFF THE WELL!

This week, Pastor Jeff and I are at the Regional MFI Conference. We heard a word this morning that lept in my spirit for our team. It is a great step to the word I shared on committing our works, gifts and burdens to the Lord (Psalm 37:5, “Commit your way to the Lord, trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass.” Proverbs 16:3, “Commit your works to the Lord, and your thoughts will be established.”) This commit is the same word Jesus used on the cross in Luke 23:46, “Father, into Your hands I commit My spirit.” Wow! That’s is a huge commit. He placed His utmost trust in the Lord: His ministry, His life, His future, everything. When we individually and as a team commit (roll) our gifts and lives to the Lord, He shall bring our purposes to pass.

Here’s the word that was shared today…Genesis 29:1-8, “So Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the East. And he looked and saw a well in the field; and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks. A large stone was on the well’s mouth. Now all the flocks would be gathered there; and they would roll the stone from the wells mouth, water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the well’s mouth…Verse 7 Then he said, “Look, it is still high day; it is not time for the cattle to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them. But they said, “We cannot until all the flocks are gathered, and they have rolled the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.”

In order for the stone to be removed from the well, the shepherds had to come together, commit to one another. When they did, they were able to remove the cap off the well and water the sheep. The water was life-giving water. This is speaking about shepherds coming together and also applies to a team. As RC Creative Worship Team commits to one another, we will be well able to cause living water to flow amongst our congregation.

Let’s have fun this year! God a fun idea the team can do together?
