I am Judith connecting from Malawi.
-
My testimony is that God has changed
me from being a beggar to a farmer.
-
The problem started in 2020 when we lost our
sister who was the breadwinner for the family.
-
After her departure, everything
was in my hands.
-
I was able responsible for
providing for my family.
-
But because I was not working,
I was unable to provide for my family.
-
I am staying with elderly parents,
staying with young children,
-
but because I was not working, we could stay
the whole day without eating any food.
-
This was a very stressful and
traumatising situation for me.
-
Because of this situation that I was
unable to provide for my family,
-
I felt forced to start begging for survival,
-
as well as borrowing money from
people just for us to survive.
-
So in 2023 I was really tired
of this habit of begging,
-
tired of following, struggling with debts.
-
I also began to develop doubts
that God did not love me,
-
'Why am I passing through all these
challenges if God really loves me?'
-
In 2024, I came across the page
of this ministry - God's Heart TV
-
and I was really interested
in this ministry.
-
I started following the ministry,
listening to the teaching
-
of Brother Chris and listening
to other people's testimonies.
-
One of the things that I have learnt
from the teaching of Brother Chris
-
is about resource management.
-
I was uplifted and I was motivated to submit
my prayer requests to God's Heart TV.
-
On September 7, 2024,
that was last year,
-
I was invited to attend the
Interactive Prayer Service,
-
and during Interactive Prayer,
I felt a burning sensation.
-
And two weeks after the
Interactive Prayer Service,
-
I began to think of starting
a small business
-
because one of my prayer requests
was asking God to help me
-
have a stable source of income,
to be able to support my family
-
and not rely on begging,
not rely on borrowing.
-
So I asked people to help me with funds,
and I was able to start my own business
-
of selling clothes, and with the help
of God, I was able to raise funds.
-
And from my business
I saw the hand of God.
-
God really helped me and
I was able to pay rent.
-
From rent I was able to buy fertiliser,
I was able to buy seeds.
-
And as I'm talking, we have harvested
more than 60 bags of maize
-
and we have abundant food.
-
God has really restored our peace.
-
Because before this testimony,
we were really stressing,
-
staying with elderly parents,
staying the whole day without food.
-
We had no peace.
-
But now with abundant food,
we have peace in the house.
-
Even my spiritual life has been uplifted
because before the testimony
-
I had so many doubts, I started
doubting God's love in our lives.
-
But with this testimony,
my life has really changed.
-
So with the lessons that I learnt from Brother
Chris' teaching on resource management,
-
I moved from borrowing
just for eating to investing
-
into a business of selling crops,
and from there I invested in farming.
-
And now, because of abundant blessing,
we are also planning to start our building
-
project, which is building a house
because currently we are letting.
-
So with the profits that we are
getting from this blessing,
-
that the Lord has blessed us with, we are
also planning to build our own house.
-
One of the encouragements,
which was also a lesson to me,
-
is that we should trust God at all times,
whether in a bad situation
-
as well as in good situations because
one of my mistakes was that
-
I started doubting God's love in my life.
-
I had so many questions to ask,
'Look, we are struggling!
-
If God really cares for us, why are
we passing through this situation?'
-
But now, with this testimony, I have
learnt that God is really with us,
-
whether we are in good
or bad situations.
-
Though we may not see that God is
really working in a difficult situation,
-
He is really working through that situation.
-
So we should just keep on knocking,
-
just keep on calling His Name,
just keep on trusting in Him.
-
And surely He will intervene
in our situation.
-
And the second advice is
about resource management.
-
I have also learnt from Brother Chris
-
that we should manage
our resources very well.
-
As for me, I was relying on
borrowing just for us to eat.
-
But now God has changed me
from being a beggar to a farmer.
-
And now we are planning
to build our own house.
-
So God should really help us to
manage our resources very well.
