The last shall be first!

I received the Holy Ghost at nine year old. During my teen years, I went to church but did not live for God like I should have. When I was 21 years old the Lord began to deal with me and I gave my life to Him once and for all. There have been some real hard times but the Lord saw me through and He still does. I cannot tell anyone the very moment God called me to preach but I can tell the year I accepted the call, in 1992. Bro. Forbes and I feel we will pastor a church one day but until then we are both happy in the ministry He has us in. It is very rewarding to be in the will of God, where you know you are called and it is a restful place, if you know what I mean. I like the way the Lord give us the desires we desires of Him but will give another desire to attain in Him. Word of advice, an important fruit of the Spirit that needs to be cultivated in a minister's life is patience, waiting on the Lord.
