This is a guest post by Judah.
It was on a Tuesday, at another KKrew Bible Study Session. So very many stories of faith and resilience under one roof, all attributed to the existence of a loving and ever so faithful God. This particular Tuesday, one testimony planted itself in my mind. Nelima Peters, stood up to share with the rest of us how great God had been to her, giving a brief but detailed account of her testimony.
“There was an event at Kayole that I regularly attend.On this particular day, I was late so on arriving at the church, I decided to play with some children who were gathered outside the building as I waited for the event to start.
A certain lady, who at this particular time was a total stranger to me, found me with the children and told me that she would like to see me immediately after the event.
So I met her. To my surprise, she told me that she liked the way I related with the children outside the church that day; and that it was her intention to entrust me with a project that she was soon to start in Kenya.
My phone got spoilt and I was planning on buying a new one by the end of the month. I didn’t have to do this though, because the same lady I mentioned earlier, gifted me an iPad so as to ease our communication in regard to the project. My Mum considered it a ‘not so good’ idea to purchase another phone worth close to 20000Kshs, so I’m sure this was a relief to her as much as it was to me.
God is not yet done with me though. I am preparing to go to the USA soon, just to see how this project is run there, and to apply what I learn there to advance the project here at home. What more can I say except that GOD IS FAITHFUL. He is really faithful especially to those who chose to obey His every word!”
To wrap it all up, what was confirmed to me through her testimony, is that, once you set your mind to obediently serving and doing His will in your life; a time will come when He rewards you. No matter how long it takes, He will always reward His faithful servants.
