I remember as a young boy our church singing the hymn, “Showers of Blessing”.
The chorus went like this…
Showers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need
Mercy drops round us are falling,
But for the showers, we plead.
Showers of blessing could come in many ways depending on your need. Financial blessing - Healing blessing - The blessing could be marriage restoration or the blessing of a job opportunity. For me, it was a job opportunity.
After graduating from Bible College, the door to full-time ministry opportunities closed. So, we moved back to our hometown and I got a job driving a truck to provide for my family.
It just so happened that my brother told a preacher friend that his little brother was driving a truck praying and waiting for the Lord to open a door. The minister told my brother of a church he once pastored that needed a pastor. He was kind enough to call and inform the church of someone they might want to contact.
Soon after I received a call from a church in Combes, Texas. They asked if I was willing to consider becoming their pastor. I was and pastored there for six years.
During that time, I received the Baptism of the Holy Spirit (a tremendous shower of blessing and refreshing). Due to that church’s beliefs, I needed to move on.
So, my wife and I and several families started a new church in a nearby town. We pastored there for 25 years; then passed it on to another man of God. Since that day there have been one shower after another. I have discovered when one finds their purpose, their calling, and placement, God will open doors beyond their imagination.
God has allowed me now to oversee a network of several churches apostolically. The showers of blessings just seem to keep on falling. Whatever you may be experiencing, continue to pray, remain faithful, and trust God to send you a shower of blessings.
“And there shall be showers, showers of blessing, for I will not shut
off the rains but send them in their seasons.” Ezekiel 34:26
