In Joshua 7:7-13, we find a poignant example of a prayer that angered God. This biblical account serves as a reminder that prayer must have a vital place in our lives, but it must also be balanced with action. Pastor Mwebe Joseph during Sunday service at Full Gospel Church Makerere has emphasized that “There is time to pray and there is time to take action.”

This delicate balance is rooted in the concept of discernment, a crucial aspect of our faith. We must learn to discern when to pray and when to take action, doing what is humanly possible and leaving what is not possible to God.

But how do we cultivate this discernment? Pastor Mwebe Joseph offered a profound insight: “How much of me does God possess?” This question gets to the heart of our relationship with God. When we are filled with the Holy Spirit, our bodies are guided by His divine presence. This is the key to discernment – being yielded to God’s will and allowing Him to guide our actions.

However, this relationship is a two-way street. As Pastor Mwebe Joseph cautioned, “God will not be with us if there is willful sin in our lives.” We must take responsibility for our actions and our faith, ensuring that we are not harboring sin that can separate us from God.

Ultimately, the consequences of our actions – or lack thereof – can have far-reaching effects. As Pastor Mwebe Joseph so aptly put it, “Whatever is not transformed, it’s transferred to the next generation.” This is a sobering reminder that our choices have the power to impact not only our own lives but also the lives of those who come after us.

As we navigate the complexities of our faith, let us strive to find this delicate balance between prayer and action. May we cultivate discernment, yielding to God’s will and allowing Him to guide our steps. And may we take responsibility for our actions, ensuring that we are not transferring our unresolved issues to the next generation.
