Dear Simon & Ethan Hope this message finds you in good time .(JIT) 1 chronicles 4:10 NKJV And jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, oh that you would bless me indeed, & enlarge my territory, that your hand would be with me, & that you would keep me from evil that I may not cause pain, so God granted him what he requested. Habakkuk 2:2 GNT Put it in writing, because it is not yet time for it to come true . But the time is coming quickly & what I show you will come true , it may seem slow in coming, but wait for it, it will certainly take place & it will not be delayed. Job 42:12. So the lord blessed the latter end of Simons more than his beginning. Write down your. Dreams/goaks/hearts desires/gr8 expectations. Ask God for ; more blessings/more protection/more of God’s presence . When I wrote my last module (my exams) I knew I had failed from a human point of view, I decided to pray the prayer of Jabez daily, I felt , this was carnal, greedy , selfish, but I kept at it, when I passed that module with flying colours, it was waterfalls of thanksgiving & praise to God.
