The men God calls to His ministry often labor in obscurity, with little tangible evidence that their work pleases God. Contrary to the world's impression of success, with mega-churches, private jets, and extravagance, the Mississauga Assembly is Smyrna-like. (See Revelation 2:8-11). Messages of appreciation from churches like the one received this morning from Cape Town, South Africa, buoy Brother Singh's heart immensely.

Historically, Christ's church operates inconspicuously, and the world often rejects its message, except God's elect. Our faith, dear saints, is a testament to this.
