Prayer for others is powerful...try it today

A voyaging ship was wrecked during a storm at sea and only
two of the
men on it were able to swim to a small, desert like island.
The two
survivors, not knowing what else to do, agree that they had
no other recourse but to pray to God. However, to find out whose
prayer was more powerful, they agreed to divide the territory between them
and stay on opposite sides of the island.

The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning,
the first man saw a fruit-bearing tree on his side of the
land, and! he was able to eat its fruit. The other man's
parcel of land remained barren.

After a week, the first man was lonely and he decided to
pray for a wife. The next day, there was a woman who swam to
his side of the land.
On the other side of the island, there was nothing.

Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes, more food.
The next day, like magic, all of these were given to him. However,
the second man still had nothing.

Finally, the first man prayed for a ship, so that he and
his wife could leave the island. In the morning, he found a ship docked at
his side of the island. The first man boarded the ship with his wife
and decided to leave the second man on the island.

He considered the other man unworthy to receive God's
blessings, since none of his prayers had been answered.

As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice
from heaven booming, "Why are you leaving your companion on the
island?"

"My blessings are mine alone, since I was the one who
prayed for them," the first man answered. "His prayers were all unanswered
and so he does not deserve anything."


"You are mistaken!" the voice rebuked him. "He had only one
prayer, which I answered. If not for that, you would not
have received any of my blessings."

"Tell me," the first man asked the voice, "what did he pray
for that I should owe him anything?"

"He prayed that all your prayers be answered."

For all we know, our blessings are not the fruits of our
prayers alone, but those of another praying for us.

My prayer for you today is that all your prayers are
answered. Be blessed.

"What you do for others is more important than what you do
for yourself"

This was shared with me by a friend, I hope you will share
with your friends!

A hand that giveth is more blessed than a hand that receiveth

If you do not receive often as per your wish then you need to review your giving history.

God said give and you shall receive. So who do you think you are to kaa ngumu and expect to receive. Am not saying you go out the streets and start broadcasting your riches, no. I mean you should be kind to those in need and be quick to assist the desolate in society.

Do to your neighbour the way you would want it be done to you. Simple...God is not so poor not to fulfil all problems. All riches belong to whom. You could be your own obstacle to your own prosperity...just think how often you you give back to God.

A winner never quits and a quitter never wins

Are you about to give up? Please don't. Dawn comes comes after the darkest hour and no condition is permanent. Remain focused and draw you inspiration from God. Do not listen to the voice of discouragement.

Soldier on and think of the benefits ahead.
