Count Your Blesseings

It is usually common and human to always look at the flip side of our life and murmur, complain, Be bitter etc. We hardly remember when our life is at its best. When we are in good health, in happiness, We hardly remember our live is in good stature. We hardly remember when out stomachs are always full because of plenty of supplies around us. We hardly remember any of it. When problems sets in and give us challenges - We cry the louddest as through we have been suffering all the years. it so sad. Let's look up and remember the cross when God gave us all. God gave us Jesus. He gave us the Holy Spirit and He gave us Himself the father. We need to thank God for all that we go through - for it is well...it is well saints all the time, anytime.


Jesus commanded believers all over the World to take the everlasting message to all people of the World

Get Saved and receive Righteousness


By Apostle William K Korir, 

For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son Jesus, to come down to die for our sins, and through his death we all receive Salvation. God loved all peoples and he sent Jesus to come and die to purchase us and secured us from the jaws of the Devil. We are now free in Jesus mighty Name! 
In the Book of Romans 10:9-11, Read on ...

Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
 11 For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."
 (NKJV)

SHEPHERD THE SHEEP


By Apostle William Korir

The church was purchased with our Lord and Saviour Jesus' blood. God appointed you an overseer to oversee and to shepherd his flock. Therefore take heed to yourselves and to all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Savage wolves are roaming about you looking for an opportunity to devour the flock. Therefore keep vigil and be alert. Do have wisdom,understanding and good conduct (Acts 20:28,29 James 3:13)

 I lived with this wonderful couple for ten (10) days and experienced a wonderful moment with this loving family. I was invited by Pastor Nsabimana Venancio to Uganda in August 2010 after browsing through this website. I had never met Venancio before and after exchanging emails for sometimes I eventually agreed to visit Uganda as Guest Speaker in Apostolic Conference held in Kampala. I flew to Uganda on 26th April 2011 and was met at Entebbe international Airport by Pastor Nsabiman. The crusade took 10 days and I flew back to JKIA - Nairobi on 6th May 2011. The couple grew up together in the same village and Pastor Nsaba was attracted to Jerullinah when she was only 12 years. Jerullinah never understood all these and when she was 14 years Nsaba sent her a love letter, only for her to present it to the class teacher and Nsaba was punished severly. Nsaba never gave up but he pushed on and on and after sixteen years he achieved his goal. The two had a very coulorful wedding where many people including dignitaries attended their wedding. They have been married for 7 years and they live happily in Kisigu Kampala - Ebenezar. Pastor Venacio is the founder member of WORLD HARVEST CHRISTIAN FELLOWSHIP CENTRE- KAMPALA.

THE POWER OF FAITH!

By Apostle William K Korir, 

Faith is believing things you do not see. For example if you are extremely broke and you have no expectation of earning some money until some times in future or not expecting anything at all. When you have hope that God will bless you and trust beyond reasonable doubt that you will receive money even where you do not have any anticipation - then this "FAITH". In the book of Jeremiah 29:11-13 it states that God has good plans for all of us and that whenever anyone prays to him He listens and provide the request. Jesus Christ had said if one has enormous faith, he/she will ask for anything and would receive.Jesus gave reference of Birds who have no store houses and yet they never go hungry because God takes care of their food provisions. Then Jesus said, human beings who were made in the image of God were more valuable than the birds and whatever they ask for in prayer God would readily provide them. Trust in God and have faith that God is listening to you and would answer your prayers. immediately you pray trust and believe that God has answered your prayers and you will surely receive it. The LORD God is Faithful.... He will answer all your needs. 

 HOPE MINISTRIES WORLD IS TODAY'S VOICE OF HOPE TO THE WORLD. JESUS INVITES YOU NOW TO REPENT FROM ALL YOUR SINS AND TURN AWAY FROM COMMITTING SINS AND RENEW YOUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOD! IT IS TIME EVERYONE IN THE WORLD TURN AWAY FROM LIVING IN SINFUL WAYS AND WORSHIP GOD THE CREATOR OF HEAVENS, EARTH, THE SEA AND ALL THE CREATURES. TURN TO GOD AND LIVE!

Desire to serve God in His vineyard

By Apostle William Korir,

The work of God continues suffer tremendously yet Christians throng churches the world over only to give offerings made up of the left overs after their routine heavy spending. Jesus tells us every day to LOVE GOD WITH ALL OUR HEARTS AND WITH ALL OUR STRENGTH! Loving God means we cannot deny what wehe has given us. No wonder we struggle to rise only to plummet. We are always making a 360 degrees turning only to end up where we started!

In the book of Malachi God declares His position and action for those who are dishonest to him.

" I ask you, is it right for a person to cheat God? Of course not, yet you are cheating me. How? you ask. in the matter of Tithes and offerings . A CURSE IS ON ALL OF YOU because the whole nation is cheating me. Bring the full amount of your tithes to the temple, so that there will be plenty of food there. put me to the test and you will see that I will open the windows of heaven and pour out on you in abundance all kinds of good things. I will not let insects destroy your crops, and your grapevines will be loaded with grapes. then the people of all Nations will call you happy, because your land will be a good place to live in (Malachi 3:8-12).

Many people perish for lack of knowledge, they follow the teachings and commandments of men. Since the introduction into modern churches of Prosperity teachings, where preachers dwells much on planting of Seeds, Many people Christians and Non Christians alike - rush to churches to expect miracles of multiplications - through planting of "Seeds". Watch out - for most of what you see and the several testimonies are mainly - tailor made. People just fake riches in order to wood wing unsuspecting Christians.

in the Book of Haggai Chapter 1:6 -, God declares, "You have sewn much corn, but have harvested very little.You have food to eat but not enough to make you full. You have clothing but not enough to make you warm. And you earn salary only to put in pockets with holes!.... You hoped for a large harvest but they turned out to be small. and when you brought home the harvest I blew it away. Why did I do that? Because my Temple lies in ruins while everyone of you is busy working on his own house. That is why there is hardships in your lives. The LORD TAKES no pleasure in causing us grief or pain (Lamentations 3:33).

Therefore be faithful to the LORD and honour him with the resources he has blessed you with, so that there is continued supply of blessings in your Home!

HOPE MINISTRIES WORLD IS TODAY'S VOICE OF HOPE TO THE WORLD. JESUS CALLS ON ALL PEOPLE TO REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND FOLLOW HIM; AND RENEW THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOD! IT IS TIME THE WORLD TURN AWAY FROM THEIR SINFUL WAYS AND WORSHIP GOD THE CREATOR OF HEAVENS, EARTH, SEA ALL THINGS.

A WIFE FROM THE LORD!

By Apostle William K Korir,

A man shall leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they become one (Genesis 2:24). My tears will pour out in a ceaseless stream until the LORD looks down from heaven and sees us. My heart is grieved when I see what has happened to the women of the city (Lamentations 3:49-51).A gracious woman is respected, but a woman without virtue is a disgrace (Proverbs 11:16).
How hard it is to find a capable wife! She is worth far more than Jewels! Her husband puts his confidence in her, and he will never be poor. 

As long as she lives, she does him good and never harm. She keeps herself busy making wool and linen cloth. She brings home food from out-of-the-way places, as merchant ships do. She gets up before daylight to prepare food for her family and to tell her servant women what to do. She looks at land and buys it, and with money she has earned she plants a vineyard. She is a hard worker, strong and industrious. She knows the value of everything she makes, and works late into the night. She spins her on thread and weaves her on cloth. She is generous to the poor and needy. She doesn't worry during the gold months because her family have warm clothing. 

She makes bedspread and wear cloths of high quality. Her husband is well known by many people because of her good behaviour. She works hard in her business and she succeeds because the LORD blesses her. She is strong and respected and she is not afraid of the future. She speaks with gentle wisdom. She is always busy and looks after her family needs. Her children shows appreciation,and her husband praises her. He says, "Many women are good wives, but you are the best of them all." Charm is deceptive and beauty disappears, but a woman who honours the LORD should be praised. Give her credit for all she does. She deserves the respect of everyone.

You married women! this is your mirror. Listen to the VOICE OF HOPE! God intends that you live happily and work hard to make your homes havens of peace. Some women sneaks back to their homes with family resources. In Masai Custom, a wedded woman do not go to her parental home for a whole year. This confirms the Bibles guide that the married couples are detached from their parents to become ONE! this is an eternal separation with their parents to unite and form their nucleus home! Of course Parents from both sides must be taken care of in their old age, or supported at any stage, but, the said support should NEVER interfere with the family matters!

Therefore allow God into your lives and to your homes so that HE Can guide you in all your endeavours to have wonderful families where your children lives in tranquillity in JESUS MIGHTY NAME!



HOPE MINISTRIES WORLD IS TODAY'S VOICE OF HOPE TO THE WORLD. JESUS CALLS ON ALL PEOPLE TO REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND FOLLOW HIM; AND RENEW THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOD! IT IS TIME THE WORLD TURN AWAY FROM THEIR SINFUL WAYS AND WORSHIP GOD THE CREATOR OF HEAVENS, EARTH, SEA ALL THINGS.

DO NOT LOOK BACK MOVE FORWARD IN FAITH.

By Apostle William Korir,

 "And the people spoke against God and against Moses; "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water , and our soul loathes this worthless bread "(Numbers 21:5). So the Lord sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died." In the book of Exodus Chapter 1:6, the Bible states that; " And Joseph died, all his brothers and all that generation. But the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty;and the land was filled with them. Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. And he said to the people , look the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we; Come let us deal with them shrewdly, with them lest they multiply and it happen , in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up against us, and so go up out of the land.Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Raamses. But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel.... An they made their lives bitter with hard bondage - in motar, in brick, and in all manner of service in the field.Exodus 1:7-14) The children of Israel suffered under the heavy york of the Egyptians, always going without food and water. They were maltreated and they toiled the whole day without rest. Many died in the process and many fatherless children were left to suffer. God saw there suffering and intervened for them. He sent His servant Moses to go and lead His people the Israelites out of bondage; out of Egypt. When the Israelites had been freed and were en-route to the land of Canaan; they faced hardships on the way and they gave up. And they looked back to Egypt. 

The people spoke against God and against Moses. This displeased God and he punished them, by sending snakes which bite them and many of them died. They turned to Moses and pleaded with him to pray to God to forgive them their sins. Many a times Christians look up back; they forget their vows to follow Jesus and God and they look back to the world; They look back to their friends in the world of darkness; They look back and engage in Adultery; They chase after riches; They go to witch doctors; They steal from their employers and do all sorts of bad things; The wife of Lot looked back to Sodom and Gomorrah; leaving better things ahead of her and was changed to a pillar of Salt. (Genesis 19:15;24,26). The Israelites looked back to Egypt and brought themselves a wrath of God. Christians too will be asking for trouble when they leave the faith they have received; and look back. 

The Israelites left God and worshiped Baals and Ashteroth and anger of God was hot and he sold them to the hands of the enemies.Judges 2:10-14; 3:7,8) The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble; And he knows those who trust in Him. But with an overflowing flood; he will destroy his enemies. (Nahum 1:7,8). Whenever we abandon our faith in God and follow after Satan's interests, we invite flood gates of God's judgement. It is God who will bless our ways. It is God who will guide our foot steps. It is therefore the desire of our Lord for us to follow him in all our ways and to worship him alone. It is against this backdrop that we must submit to God at all times. We should not look back to Egypt; we should seek the face of our Lord and God. Never again should we follow the footsteps of the Israelites; but rather must follow God as our Lord and Saviour. Jesus came and died at the cross - and through his death God reconciled the fallen earth to himself. By doing so he removed the original sin and made it possible for all man kind to follow Jesus Christ. Come now and let us worship our Lord and God with all our hearts; for He is good; and will bless all his faithful children. 

 HOPE MINISTRIES WORLD IS TODAY'S VOICE OF HOPE TO THE WORLD. JESUS CALLS ON ALL PEOPLE TO REPENT OF THEIR SINS AND FOLLOW HIM; AND RENEW THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOD! IT IS TIME THE WORLD TURN AWAY FROM THEIR SINFUL WAYS AND WORSHIP GOD THE CREATOR OF ALL THINGS.

Fasting should Exalt the almighty God!

By Apostle William Korir, 

 Fasting means taking a quite moment to seek the Load. we therefore move away from our daily lives to concentrate on heavenly matters. Fasting is done in order to have concentration in Spiritual matters and to in order to seek God to provide our special needs. The kind of fasting our God wants is to remove chains of the oppressed persons in our midst and the yoke of injustices, and to let the captives free. During fasting we are required to share food with the hungry and to open homes to the homeless poor. we ought to clothe those without clothes and to assists your own relatives. When we comply to the above, God's favour will shine on us like the morning sun, and our wounds will be quickly healed. God will always be with us to save us; His presence will protect us on every side. When we pray He will answer us. When we call to Him he will respond.If we put an end to oppression, to every gesture of contempt, and to every evil word; if we give food to the hungry and satisfy those who are in need, then the darkness around us will turn to the brightness of noon, and God will always guide and satisfy us with good things. He will keep us strong and well. We will be like a garden that has plenty of water, like a spring of water that never runs dry. Whenever we fast ensure we remain faithful and trust in God who will always honour His pledge to Bless us(Isaiah 58:6-11). 

 HOPE MINISTRIES WORLD IS TODAY'S VOICE OF HOPE TO THE WORLD. WE URGE PEOPLE TO COME TO JESUS AND RENEW THEIR RELATIONSHIPS WITH GOD! IT IS TIME THE WORLD TURN BACK TO GOD OUR SOURCE OF HOPE.

GOD ALWAYS PROVIDE FOR HIS FAITHFUL CHILDREN

By Apostle William Korir, 

 I have been young and now I' am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsake; nor his descendants begging for bread (Psalms 37:25). Those who remain righteous to the Lord Jesus and dedicate their lives into serving God with all their hearts, will lack nighting. They receive food provision to meet their needs. They never lack anything desirable for them. God loves his children on earth and He is ever merciful and lends and his descendants are blessed(Psalm 37:26). Seek God always and serve him faithfully for he has made provisions and daily appropriates His blessings to you. The Angel of the Lord encamps around all those who fear (worship) him and delivers them from the hands of the enemy(Psalms 34:7). Oh taste and see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man that trust in him! Oh fear the Lord , you his saints! There is no want to those who fear him (Psalms 34:8). The young Lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing (Psalms 34:10). For the eyes of the Lord looks to and fro so as to show himself strong to those whose hearts are faithful towards him (II Chronicles 16:9) Dear child of God, it is time you evaluate your past and see if you have been living in accordance to God's will. If so, keep it up and always aim higher. If you have been living contrary to his will, it is time you accept Jesus Today as your personal Saviour and receive abundant grace and blessings.

KEEP YOUR FLAG OF FAITH FLYING - NO LET UP!

By Apostle William K Korir

Many a times we experience lots of chalenges in this life and many people are tempted to think that what they are being taught every day by the servants of God may be untrue. The current crop of preachers teach prosperity and earthly riches so as to woo members to their churches. They tell the members what they want to hear, and they know very well that if they give them false hope, they will fill their churches. They have also learned the art of avoiding to rebuke sin. The whole scenario appears to be highly stage managed to be true. Some Pastors are too extreme, and are said to secretely lineup some members who would proclaim publicly that after giving certain amounts, they were blessed three times or were promoted.This is done to woodwink many followers into believing the lies and remain trapped in falsehood. Fearing that they would soon be discovered, they caution members that if they give and they continue to remain unblessed, it is because they were unfaithful and were living in sin. The preachers continue to preach prosperity,while, the followers wallow in abject poverty as the siad preachers prosper at their followers expense.

If you are one of this faithfuls who are getting fatiqued and about to give up your faith, just hold on. listen to the voice of God and the Holy scriptures. I have very good news for you today!

It doesn't matter what you are going through right now. It doesn't matter whether you have too much or too little to live on. God purchased you by paying an expensive price at the cross to save you; just because he loves you (John 3:16). He shall protect you always (Psalms 121:7,8),and will provide all your needs according to his will (Mathew 7:7,8. He will never forget you (Isaiah 49:15), for he has inscribed your NAME in the palm of HIS hand (Isaiah 49:16).
God watches over you, 24 hours a day, seven consecutive days, four weeks a month. He has set before you an open door which no one can shut(Revelation 3;8).

I urge you therefore to Keep your faith burning till Jesus Comes (Rev. 2:25),for He is coming soon and if you overcome temptation and remain faithful, He will make you a pillar in God's temple (Rev. 3:11,12).

Therefore be of good comfort, mind, peace and God of love and peace will be with you (2Corinthians 13:11)

GOD BLESS YOU AND KEEP YOU TILL HE COMES TO TAKE YOU HOME.

SERMONS: JESUS WILL OVERCOME YOUR CHALLENGES

By Apostle William Kipyegon arap Korir

LUKE 12: 13-21. And one of the company said unto him, master, speak to my brother, that he divide his inheritance with me. And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? And he said unto them, take heed and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consistent not on the abundance of the things, which he possesseth. And he spoke a parable unto them saying, the ground of a certain rich man brought him plentifully: And he thought within himself, saying what shall I do, what shall I do because I do not have enough room where to bestow my fruits. And he said, this will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and goods. And I will say to my soul, Soul, though had much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that laid up reassure for himself,and is not rich toward God.

But now, Oh! Lord, though art our father; we are the clay, and though our potter; and we all are the work of your hand. Be not wrote very sore, O Lord, neither remembers iniquity forever: behold, see, we beseech thee, we are all thy people Isaiah 64:8-9 – (NKJV)

Jesus Rebukes the Storm

Matt 8:18-27

18 And when Jesus saw great multitudes about Him, He gave a command to depart to the other side.
19 Then a certain scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go."
20 And Jesus said to him, "Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head."
21 Then another of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, let me first go and bury my father."
22 But Jesus said to him, "Follow Me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
23 Now when He got into a boat, His disciples followed Him.
24 And suddenly a great tempest arose on the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves. But He was asleep.
25 Then His disciples came to Him and awoke Him, saying, "Lord, save us! We are perishing!"
26 But He said to them, "Why are you fearful, O you of little faith?" Then He arose and rebuked the winds and the sea, and there was a great calm.
27 So the men marvelled, saying, "Who can this be, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?" (NKJ)

Mark 4:35-41

Jesus will Rebuke the Storm in Your Life

As we speak, you could be facing serious life challenges:
You could be under Satan’s yoke and
Are facing serious storms of life:
You have unstable family, which is in the rocks and at the cross roads;
You are facing a financial crunch and have no money to meet your financial commitments;
Your business is at the verge of collapse;
You have just lost your job and your spouse is ailing,
You have a chronic disease, which is siphoning all your meagre resources
You have lost hope in life and you feel like taking your life.

Just hold on! I have GREAT NEWS for YOU!
Do not give up yet……….just press on …….. for life is worth living.

As the Holy Scriptures declares that “Jesus arose and rebuked the winds in the sea, and there was a great calm. Your loving JESUS CHRIST will stand before You and He will Rebuke the storm in your life; and you will receive great calm. From now on, start thanking God and believe in Jesus who has now rebuked the storms in your life.

For God so loved the world that he gave His only beloved Son that who so ever believes in Him should not perish. But have everlasting life.
God loves all His children and it is His will, that His children live happily even down here (John 3:16). It is this love, which compelled God to sent Jesus to the earth to die at the cross, for your sins. God loves you and He cares for. Call Him in the name of Jesus, and he will respond to you instantly.

God has the following everlasting promises for YOU!

“For I know the thoughts I think toward you saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (Jeremiah 20:11).

“For I the Lord thy God, will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, fear not; I will help thee. Fear though not for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness” (Isaiah 41:13,10).

Therefore stop worrying and start a new journey of Hope which is found only in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

YOU HAVE ALL YOUR HEART CAN WISH

You have all your hearts can wish!(John Flavel - The Method of GRACE)

My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19 O say with a melting heart—I have a full Christ, and He is filled for me! I have . . . His pure and perfect righteousness to justify me, His holiness to sanctify me, His wisdom to guide me, His comforts to refresh me, His power to protect me, His all-sufficiency to supply me. O be cheerful, be thankful—you have all your hearts can wish! And yet be humble—it is all from free-grace to empty and unworthy creatures!

HOW DEEP IS YOUR FAITH IN GOD?

Christians are true ambassadors of God on planet earth (2Corinthians 16:17-20). Let us look at the role of an ambassador. A country send its Representative to a foreign country to represent its interest in that country. The ambassador would concentrate on marketing his/her country's trade and tourism which leads to economic prosperity back home. The Ambassador acts with deligence and loyalty for the benefit of the mother land.

As heavenly ambassadors Christians represent God here on planet earth (Col. 3:1-4) and are duty bound to serve the interest of heaven in as far as their calling is concerned. Christains follow the example of Jesus and would therefore serve God faithfully.

Faith means total surrender in its holistic sense. When you have faith you believe and trust that Jesus would provide you with what you have asked for. Christians are therefore required to have Faith in God believing that they have already received what they have asked for. Whenever challenges face them in their daily lives; they will worry less for they have faith in God and believe that he is in control. They will not be swayed by the storms in their lives but they will remain steadfast; praying, fasting and waiting upon the Lord to bring them blessings.

One young man was walking through a tiny path, a long a river which had busted its banks. He came to a place where the path was even thinner and below it was a deep cliff. A few metres a head he stepped on dry grass and accidentally slipped, falling down the cliff. As he rolled down the steep hill, he got hold of an overhanging branch and held it firmly with both hands. Below the overhanging branch, the cliff was over 100 feet deep. He called for help for several hours but no one responded to his distress call. His hands were getting weary and he badly needed help.

The young man then heard a response asking him who he was and what he was doing down there? The young man gave his name and inquired who the person was and requested him to make haste and rescue him. The voice respond that he was the Lord, the the young man interjected, ....... you mean the Lord God? The voice answered; yes! I 'am the Lord your God. The young man tanked him for coming to his aid and profusely promising to remain faithful and loyal to Him all his life, once he is saved and come out of the glaring death.

The Lord told the young man to go easy with his easy promises........ and instructed him to listen keenly to his rescue plan. The young man hurriedly promised the Lord that he would do anything .... whatever he told him to! Then the Lord told him to let go of the branch. The man exclaimed what! .. .. The Lord repeated .......... Let go of the branch. There was deep silence for a few minutes as the young man searched his soul..... then he shouted again. Help! Help! Help!............. Is there any one else up there?....... The echoes rang accross villages.

As Christians do we trust and belief the promises given to us by God in the Holy Scriptures(Mathew 7:-12)?. When we encounter tough times and storms in our lifes do we have the courage to respond to God's will when he tell us to let go of the branch? Jesus gave us his assuarance that God will love us and would bless us as His beloved children. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Whenever God ask us to let go the branch, we should willingly do so in faith.

The Bible gives us an example of Job, a righteous man of God, who lost virtually everything he had including his children he almost lost his life. Despite the calamities he went through he remained loyal and true to God, throughout his tribulations and God was pleased with him and he blessed him abundantly. He received a double portion of what he had lost.

When we trust and believe in God, He will provide all our needs according to His will for he cares.

Have Faith and Believe that he as a father answers our prayers.
