The very day I believed I had prayed up myself with faith and courage, I practically ran into the ward and this woman was no more. I was but a young believer and was not sure of myself and delayed in responding. It was my first call as a young adult, I was twentyish, my mother was hospitalized and anytime I go in to visit at the hospital, there is this particular person in pain that the Lord asked me to pray for. But then, I had slacked behind to reach out as prompted and many years after I am still wondering if that soul is lost for eternity because of my unbelief. Many a time I have acted as prompted and lead by the spirit and the result was tremendously uplifting. At the appointed time, God does make all things beautiful – Ecclesiastes 3:11. I have come to understand however that even though you do not have to wait for all resources to be readily at your disposal before you venture on in a project, you however need the guidance of the Holy Spirit for the things of the Spirit. I am one for doing what need to be done right away and do not slack at all in pursuing what I believe in. 30 They would say, ‘This man began to build, but he was not able to finish.’ And if you could not finish it, everyone would laugh at you. 29 If you don’t do that, you might begin the work, but you would not be able to finish. You must see if you have enough money to finish the job. According to Luke 14:28 ““If you wanted to build a building, you would first sit down and decide how much it would cost. The Fire of the Holy Spirit burning in a soul this fiercely, if care is not taken, one might step out too fast. God in His infinite mercy has always and continuously shown mercy and have not allowed me to suffer irreparable loss. In many ways, and for so long, I have been hasty in running with divine prompting.

Take time to Observe, reflect on your observation, examine and highlight your findings, organize yourself, then you act on the best possible means to achieve you goal. In line with your suggestion, prompting, and encouragement with regards to stepping out in faith, seizing my kairos moment, to walk the path heaven has bestowed on me, I write this to you.

May the Lord keep you and I, and all that is ours. I am trying my best to keep safe, knowing my ultimate safety is of the Lord.
