"If I can lift you up when you're down, I would have done a very good job! Thank you for dropping by."

Reaping the harvest

One cyber blessing I frequently enjoy is receiving lovely stories via e-mail.  Below is an example…

A BEAUTIFUL STORY

             
An unemployed graduate woke up one morning and checked his pocket. All he had left was $100. He decided to use it to buy food and then wait for death as he was too proud to go begging. He was frustrated as he could find no job, nobody was ready to help him.

He bought food and as he sat down to eat, an old man and two little children came along and asked him to help them with food as they had not eaten for almost a week. He looked at them. They were so lean that he could see their bones coming out.

Their eyes had gone into the socket. With the last bit of compassion he had, he gave them the food. The old man and children prayed for him that will bless and prosper him and then gave him a very old coin. The young graduate said to them "you need the prayer more than I do".

With no money, no job, no food, the young graduate went under the bridge to rest and wait for death. As he was about to sleep, he saw an old newspaper on the floor. He picked it up, and suddenly he saw an advertisement for people with old coins to come to a certain address.  He decided to go there with the old coin the old man gave him.

On getting to the place, he gave the proprietor the coin. Alas, the proprietor screamed, brought out a big book and showed the young graduate a photograph. This same old coin was worth $3M.

The young graduate was overjoyed as the proprietor gave him a bank draft for $3M within an hour. He collected the bank draft, went in search of the old man and little children. By the time he got to where he left them eating, they had gone. He inquired from the owner of the canteen who told him that they even left a note for him.

He quickly opened the note thinking it would lead him to find them. But alas, the words in the note reads thus:  "You gave us your all and we have rewarded you back with the coin."  Signed God the Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost. 1 Kings 17:10-16;Matthew 11:28-30 
Have you given your all to Jesus Christ?

If you haven't, do so today and He will surprise you.


PRAYER:

Here is your financial blessing! It's a simple prayer, you got 30 seconds?

If you need a financial blessing, continue reading this email.

Heavenly Father, most Gracious and Loving God, I pray to You that You abundantly bless my family and me. I know that You recognize, that a family is more than just a mother, father, sister, brother, husband and wife, but all who believe and trust in You.  Father, I send up a prayer request for financial blessing for not only the person who sent this to me, but for me and all whom I have forwarded this message on to.  And that the power of joined prayer by those who believe and trust in You is more powerful than anything.  I thank You in advance for Your blessings.  Father God, deliver the person reading this right now and those who will read it in the near future from debt and debt burdens.  Release your Godly wisdom that I may be a good steward over all that You have given me Father, for I know how wonderful and mighty you are and how if we just obey You and walk in Your word and have the faith of a Mustard seed that You will pour out blessings.

I thank You now Lord for the recent blessings I have received and for the blessings yet to come because I know You are not done with me yet.  In Jesus Name, I pray, Amen.
