Worries ends where Faith begins(Day 7 in camp)

My day went well as usual. I didn't involve in much activity today because today was our graduation as SDG's(Sustainable Development Goal). That's my CDS group. And I'm awaiting when I will create my own platform focusing mainly on child abuse.

I heard the story of a very poor woman today. I was told she called a radio station asking for help from God.

Then in another place there was a non-believer who also happened to be listening to this radio station's program, he decided to make fun of the woman.

He decided to get the woman's address from the radio station he was listening to and then he told his secretary to carry a very large amount of foodstuff to the woman and also packaged money for her.

However, he sent the secretary off with the following instruction, "When you get to the woman's place and the woman asks who sent the foodstuffs, tell her that it was sent to her from the devil.''

So, when the man's secretary got to the woman's house, the woman was so happy that God answered her prayer.

She was grateful for the help she just received and then she started putting the food packets into her small house.

The secretary then asked her the question he was ordered to ask by his boss,

''Don't you want to know who sent the food?''

The woman replied,

''No, I do not have any care about who sent the foodstuff or even the money because whenever GOD orders, even the DEVIL obeys! He dare not go against the order"

Now, imagine the woman's reaction/faith. She announced her needs because she knew God will definitely send help. God did sent help.

It made me remember a song we do sing when I was in teenage class.

Verse 1

You’re worried about tomorrow

And what the future holds

Your mind is filled with questions

As you face the unknown

You’ve spent so many sleepless nights

Trying to work it out

Worry has consumed your faith

With all its fear and doubt

Chorus

Worry ends where faith begins

When you put it in God’s hands

And leave it there…Oh just leave it there

He’s still in control so trust in Him

And take a hold of faith again

For worry ends where faith begins

Verse 2

Why should we ever worry

Why should we fret at all

When worry only hinders

The mighty hand of God

He said it is impossible

To please him without faith

So lay aside your worry

Walk on in Jesus name

WORRIES will definitely END immediately where or when FAITH BEGINS.

My sponsors 

There's also a story about two farmers who desperately needed rain to fall in order to have good farm produce during the harvest year.

Both of them decided and they prayed for rain to fall, but only one of them went out and prepared his fields ahead in other to receive the rain.

Who amongst them do you think really trusted and had faith in God that He would send down the rain?

In the bible days, the people who lived around surroundings of Isaac, stopped sowing seeds, they keep saying,

“There are neither winds nor rains”.

However, Isaac casted his entire burden on God, relying on Him without having any reservations. He likewise sowed seeds with faith keeping his focus and gaze on the heavenly Father, the one who is the Maker of heaven and earth. We know from Him our help comes.

The Almighty God does not look at the seeds Isaac sowed but He saw his faith and said,

“My child has sown his seeds believing and trusting me, therefore let me bless My child.” He blessed Isaac on every side and made him prosperous a hundredfold.

Likewise friend, whoever you might be, reading this article, anywhere in the world, if you are waiting for something good or expecting blessings from the Lord it won't happen unless and until you go out and work for it.

That was the faith the woman in the first story used, going to the radio station. The farmer in the second story also made these great move by tilling and preparing his farm ahead of the rain.

If you know you want to score high marks in your studies then you have to work hard and study well.

If you want to see/receive profits in your businesses then you have to put in all your full efforts into it.

Then the Lord will see your faith and bless you just like the woman in the story, the farmer and of course like Isaac – a hundredfold.
