I am a sinner
I AM A SINNER.

Elia Vesikula at family church service
I am a
sinner blessed by the Lord Jesus Christ my God. I woke up this morning with
worries of what will I eat and where my bills payment will come from. Yes you
said it, Jehovah Jireh. The Lord provides. I drew my last dollar earlier today
from my bank account.
I came to
the office a little discouraged. I went around town looking for work but was unsuccessful
to get any jobs. I was
anxious about tomorrow. Where will my food and fuel to travel to do Gods work
and for my business come from. Will I be able to go home after work as my fuel
was low.
To my
surprise when I opened my face book messages, there was a message to call a
relative in Australia. She was sending me $500.00 to support our street
ministry. I was overjoyed. I prayed and said Lord I am a sinner as I was
anxious today, when your WORD says that we should not worry about anything as you
feed and clothe the birds and provide their beautiful clothes and you will also
look after me. So that’s why I prayed today and said Lord I am a sinner for not
completely trusting you.
Two days
later the money was finished. I had no money again and had very little fuel in
the car. It was Saturday. I had to go to two churches as I was doing Christian
stories.
As I was in
church on Saturday I received a call to cover a story at an old peoples home.
The call came when I was doing the sermon. I returned the call after sermon and
rushed to do the work in my white church clothes as a close friend had called.
I was hoping I could get at least some fuel money so I could get me to my next church assignment.
However I
was not paid for the work. I thanked the Lord. I was very tired as it has been
a long night preparing for the sermon and preaching and running to a photo and
video shoot after. But I am not complaining

The next day was Sunday.I came with my grandson
Tu and son Jerry to help me in the shoot and doing the story for the Christian
WORD magazine. We had only $20.00 left
for our fuel for the whole day. We had a few places to go to. Just a short
while after leaving home, I got a call from a nephew. He was coming home to
visit me as I was sick. We decided to meet in a supermarket as I was already
heading to the church to do stories. He blessed me with some fish and $30.00. This
generous donation was used for our fuel to the two churches and we managed to
record our stories. We are so thankful for the Lords Jesus right hand reaching
out all the time. I bought some bread for my nephew’s family in exchange for
his gifts. I was delighted to see his children who were my grandchildren as
well. I had my last $20.00 which I had kept a side for my fuel. But we were glad
that the Lord fed us and also gave some money for fuel and some money for my grandchildren’s’
surprise. We praise the Lord Jesus. We have to trust him completely all the
time. He provides. Do not be discouraged. Our journey continues and all glory
to the Holy Spirit.
I hope you
are blessed with this story. Always place your hope in the Lord Jesus and he
will always be there for you. God bless you and your family.
