God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Your pastors will be consistently “afflicted,” as 2 Corinthians 4:8 declares. Their personal life will be scrutinized. Their labor will be relentless. Their family will be tested. Their freedoms in Christ will be limited. Their decisions will be questioned. If it goes well all the glory to God. Yet if it doesn’t, it is the pastor’s fault. As Paul said, they will be afflicted in “every way.” Changing churches or careers will seem like the greener pasture. Yet pastors must remember that God is sovereign and because He is in control, they are not, as the verse say, “crushed.” As one pastor said, “Squeezed, but not squashed.”
FOR GARNISH
SPRINKLE THE CHICKEN with salt. Grind the peppercorns, clove and cinnamon
together in a spice mill and mix with the sugar, sherry, garlic, vinegar
and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Spread 1/3 of the onion in the bottom of the
crockpot; cover with 1/3 each of the tomatoes, chicken and fruit. Add the
bay leaves and sprinkle with some of the seasonings and pour on half the
vinegar-spice mixture. Repeat the layers, finishing up with a topping of
onion, tomatoes and fruit. Cover and cook for about 1 hour, then uncover
and cook for 30 minutes longer, or until the chicken is tender and some of
the juices have been reduced. Discard bay leaves. FOR THE GARNISH: Heat the
oil and fry the plantain slices until deep golden brown. Remove and drain.
To serve, cover the top of the stew with the capers, olives and plantain.
