In his sermon, Archbishop Sentamu called for patience among believers.
“There are some Christians, when the Holy Spirit is brooding and wants to bring life, instead of sitting still, and waiting, they want to rush on. Incubation takes a long time.” He said, referring to Acts 2
The 68-year-old said the Holy Spirit wants to do something more glorious in the life of a believer.
“The brooding period is absolutely critical. The Holy Spirit was brooding over the face of the dead [earth] in Genesis and God said; let their be light…Day by day, that Holy Spirit is brooding over us..wanting the glory of the Lord to be seen.” The father of two biological, two foster children said.
He revealed that he gave his life to Christ at the age of 10, “but for a number of years didn’t know that everyday, I had to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Do you know why we have to be filled with the Holy Spirit everyday? Because we daily leak.”
