"A few years ago, I put across three prayer requests to Joseph Prince Ministries after hearing Pastor Prince’s encouragement. I was believing God to meet these prayer requests for the year.
They were namely, to have the opportunity to share God’s Word on a platform, to find a suitable life partner, and for the Lord to look after my mother when I’m unable to do so due to other responsibilities.
In the middle of last year, I started dating someone whom I really like and who complements me in every way.
We are getting married in a couple of months and God has provided for the wedding by keeping the costs very minimal.
We have also been receiving amazing provisions that help us prepare for our future together.
At the end of last year, I also became an assistant pastor in my church. It has been an exciting experience as I get to share God’s Word with the youths through preaching and songs of worship.
God’s grace has been truly amazing. I know that in and of myself, I’m not qualified or worthy of what I have today.
It is through Christ and His blood that God’s blessings are being poured into my life.
I’m still praying for my mother and believing God will continue to look after her as He has always been. I know that He can well provide for her just as He has for me.
In retrospect, God has been faithful over the past years in preparing me to do the things that He has placed in my hands today. I feel deeply loved and greatly blessed."
