Our Assembly welcomed back these faithful men of God to encourage us. Continuing with yesterday's theme of affliction, Britger Richard showed us that affliction is the mirror in which we see our true selves before the Lord. God's love is so great he will not allow His elect to be undisciplined. King David's insight becomes our own: "Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word. Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes." (Ps. 119:67-68) 

Brother Githinjii stated, "Nobody likes affliction, but the pressure of trials causes us to submit to the Father's will. God's will is that the elect, "Seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; then all that we need shall be added unto you."
