Dearly beloved in Christ,
I greet you in the sweet name of the Lord Jesus Christ!
Once we were ministering in a foreign land. A servant of God ministering in the area narrated to me about a person known to him, in a terrible situation. His entire family was in difficulties. Because of the loss incurred, they had to close down their factory and were living in his bungalow in a corner. He had both his parents, two sons and two daughters. All of them had no job and were suffering. As he was narrating about him, we happened to meet him on the street. He asked me to pray for him. We prayed for him there on the street. Then I asked him about the portraits of actors and actresses on the inner walls of his house. Then he shared with me the fact that they were living in enclosures created by cinema billboards which displayed pictures of cine actors and actresses. I told him about the love of the Lord, and His powers and what He would do to those who seek Him. He was a non-Christian, but he wanted to know more about the Bible. So I directed him to go to a nearby church, as the pastor was known to me. Even in the first week in which he went to church, one of his sons got the visa and ticket to go and work in a foreign country through one of his friends. As one person earned, the essential needs of the family were met. It was the Lord’s doing. That person arranged a work for his brother in the same country and took him there. Now they were able to settle their debts. These brothers now helped their sisters also to get employment in the land. All their difficulties were settled one by one. They could also redeem their house. They also made good offerings to the church. The pastor enquired them how they came to that church and they narrated how I directed them. That pastor when I met him told me about this family and asked me whether I knew them. I denied knowing them. Later, I recollected the incident and the revelation during prayer and told him everything.
Dear Brother / Sister, if you listen to the counsel of the Lord and obey the word by attending the church worship, you will be blessed with the fulness of His blessings. He who trusts the Lord will flourish according to His word.
May the Lord bless us!
