Sharing with families. The white thing is to hold Jasmin on my back!
Recently we have had some problems with our GFR families. We found out that some had been lying about their family compositions in hopes to get more sponsorship or to get the pitty from their sponsor. Though it was only a few families, we gathered all of them around to expose this bad habit and put an end to it.
While praying how I could speak the peoples "language" in order for them to get the point the Lord reminded me of Jonah. He was on a mission, knew the right thing to do, but made the choice not to do it. He even ran from God and thought to be save as he journeyed to Tarsis on a big ship. The Lord allowed for a big storm to come so that the reason of Jonah's presence on the ship would be exposed. After being thrown of the ship and swallowed by a big fish Jonah decided to do as God had told him after all.
The families are like Jonah with a purpose, and choices and even after making a wrong choice God gives a second chance!
I spoke about the storm how it effected not only Jonah, but the people around him. God wanted the sin exposed and He wanted Jonah's attention. The families bad choices will be exposed also and God might just allow for storms to arise in their lives so they will make things right.
The people got the point and understood that lying might interfere with their sponsorship.
After we closed in prayers and talked with more families on a personal level a big wind came. Sand was coming under the covered area like arrows hitting our skin followed by thunder and rain like buckets poured out on us.
What does it say in the bible? Even nature speaks of the power of our Lord...!
Thank you God, I so much appreciate you adding great power to my words by sending this storm! It is so much fun to share Your word with others!
