When I first accepted Jesus into my heart, I was so in love with Him. Because I was in love with Christ and I was growing in His word, God gave me the promise that I would be a queen in His Kingdom and establish His government on Earth someday with the 7 wise counselors mentioned in Micah 5, who are also the 7 pastors of the churches in Revelation 2-3. I was so elated to receive this promise from God.
However, as the years passed and the promise did not come to pass, I started getting a little impatient and ungrateful at times. I even tried to force the promise to come to pass by dropping my name to well-known pastors. But this week, as I visited the Prayer Ministry of The Shepherd Church, the Lord spoke thru 3 ladies who ministered to me that it is more important to be fully satisfied in Christ than seeing God's promise come to pass. I learned this important lesson this week. I learned to lay down God's promise and just being content with Christ. I know God chose and anointed me to be the queen of His Kingdom in January of 2016, but I still haven't been able to establish God's gov't with the wise counselors. I don't know when God's promise will fully come to pass, but for this Christmas season, I am truly grateful that I already have the greatest Christmas gift of all.
