My beloved congregation, the wisdom of the African proverb about the cat aspiring to become a lion by forsaking its appetite for rats speaks volumes about the journey of transformation we all must undertake to realise our highest potential. The path to achieving greatness often involves a profound inner shift, shedding old skin and embracing new ways of being that align with our deepest aspirations.

In our quest for personal growth and self-realisation, we are called to examine the habits, beliefs, and mindsets that may be holding us back from reaching our true potential. Just as the cat must relinquish its comfort in the familiar taste of rats to metamorphose into a majestic lion, so must we release ourselves from the comfort of the known and venture bravely into the unknown realms of possibility.

Let us not be afraid to undergo the necessary changes and transformations that will enable us to embody the lion’s strength, courage, and wisdom. Let us have the faith to let go of what no longer serves us and the conviction to step boldly into the fullness of our own greatness. As we reflect on this profound truth, may we find the inspiration and determination to unleash the lion within us and roar with the power of our awakened spirits.

JESUS IS LORD
