When you begin to allow your true identity to find expression, you are allowing your capacity to be stretched.
You see, everything you have been has been informed by what they told you, by your former beliefs and expectations, and by your past experiences.
And that had taken all of 20, 30, 40, or even 50 years to live with.
Evolving is really a journey…where you accept one dimension, fearfully step into it, and just as you begin to settle in, another dimension begins to beckon, and then once again you have to conquer fear, and step forward.
When I first started, The ReAlignment Program, I didn’t think I qualified as a representative of the Kingdom.
My inner doubts kept telling me, I needed validation by Ordination.
My inner doubts kept telling me I had no qualifications.
And so, I called myself a Life Skills Developer.
That settled well with my Corporate background.
Until God used His servant, Apostle Denis Wekesa who shed light on my ministry; and testimonials from the people who had taken the program confirmed His Word.
I then understood that what I was doing was different and that the results were not my doing.
I was simply a vessel being used by the Master.
My heart settled.
I yielded and acknowledged the difference.
Indeed, I was a Kingdom Life Coach.
By the grace of God, I found favour with the media, and have been able to keep speaking about Wholeness and its effect on our personal, professional and spiritual lives.
As I began to appreciate the role that the Program was playing in strengthening believers in their Christian journey and empowering them in the marketplace and their personal lives, my heart began to yearn for greater impact, for opportunities to reach Christian communities.
So this last week, a friend of mine called and told me it’s Mothering Sunday in the ACK Calendar, would you be available to speak at St. Paul’s, Jamhuri.
I obliged.
Only when I got there, did I realize that my capacity had been stretched.
With every step as I got into the church in the procession of priests, I understood God was telling me I was ushering you into a new dimension.
As they introduced the Preacher of the day, I understood my capacity had been stretched (am more comfortable being called a Speaker).
As I shared on Mothering by Wholeness, I forgot my inhibitions because passion took over.
When at the end of the sermon, I realized that the Canon in charge of Africa was in the service, and He thanked me for delivering the Word, I understood God was using His servant to endorse me.
When they invited me to plant a tree at the end of the service, I understood that God was telling me I was establishing you.
That, my friends, was my first Sunday main service engagement. (Am still struggling to say preaching 😊 ).
When we went to the vestry to pray, I knelt and cried.
No one else knew what that meant for me.
My capacity had been stretched.
And so, this week, even as you permit yourself to evolve, I invite you to allow Him to stretch your capacity – and usher you into dimensions you never knew were possible.
Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
