God by His nature seldom does or works things out in a conventional way. When we trust and believe in His promises knowing that He delights in helping and blessing us, He answers prayer in such a greater way that we could ask or think. Knowing and believing this becomes His power working in us. Eph. 3:20 says it like this; “Now to Him (God) who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us…”
I have always believed in God, used to go to Church, but have not always been a regular prayer...
However, seeing in Ghana how much they truly believe in God and how they live their lives focused so much on religion, it made me think maybe it is worth turning to God and thanking him when we need him/he does something good (which of course he does everyday!)
Not only are the children extremely happy and mostly healthy, religion gives them a strong sense of togetherness. They have a support system and something to celebrate. Whether or not you believe in God, he is definitely enriching their lives.
Today I will be praying that he continues to help with the work in Santrokofi, but also to thank him for what has already been achieved. So much has been accomplished in the few years that RHF has been set up - and that is definitely thanks to God, as well as the amazing team of volunteers, fundraisers, supporters and the RHF board of trustees.
We should be thankful for what RHF has created - we have all made friendships, we have built an RHF community! And we are doing something amazing together, along with the Living Faith Foundation in Sogakope.
I will ask God to be with us all again this year, from today during this important day, throughout the Month of May and then on and on. I hope we gain the support at all the great events we have planned before Ghana, I hope people donate not just money but clothes, books, toys for the children and I hope that he helps everyone that wants to go to Ghana this year or the next or the next find a way of doing so!.. I already know that he will be with us when we go over there and throughout the summer camp!, but I may pray for that too.
Romans 4:16-22 “So that’s why faith is the key! God’s promise is given to us as a free gift. And we are certain to receive it…if we have faith like Abraham’s. For Abraham is the father of all who believe. That is what the Scriptures mean when God told him, “I have made you the father of many nations.” This happened because Abraham believed – the God who gives life to the dead and calls things that are not as though they were.” When God promised Abraham that he would become the father of many nations, Abraham believed him. God had also said, “Your descendants will be as numerous as the stars,” even though such a promise seemed utterly impossible! And Abraham’s faith did not weaken, even though he knew that he was too old to be a father at the age of one hundred and that Sarah, his wife, had never been able to have children. Abraham never wavered in believing God’s promise. In fact, his faith grew stronger, and in this he brought glory to God. He was absolutely convinced that God was able to do anything He promised…”
