If you don’t know who Nchamo is, have a look at his first article here. He’s my brother in Christ- and he is from a village called “Palma” heh heh.

Think, who knows you very well in all the world. When leave your country and go somewhere else who knows you? If it is your first time coming to Mozambique no one here will know you except God. Think, when you are sleeping and you can’t see anything, who protects you? If you want to trust God you can look at Luke 12:

“Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; Yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds!”

If go anywhere in the world you can trust that God will give you what you need even if it is a poor country or a rich country. God has a plan for you where ever you go. One time I met a man who came to Mozambique and banditos stole from

him and he didn’t have anything, not even money to go home. He didn’t know Jesus but I told him about God and he said let’s go pray. So we started to pray. After 3 months the man found me and told me “God is good and I want to trust him forever. It’s amazing, God provided for me.”

Before you are born, when you are in you mothers tummy God has a plan for you. Sometimes, as you get older you forget the plan. Just like a child, when he is three years old he remembers something but when he is 16 he doesn’t remember what he was doing when he was three years old. If you are rich or if you are poor sometimes it distracts you from what the plan was.

If you are rich maybe sometimes you think you are god and everything is zero and you are a VIP and everything is about you. You might always think about cars, computers, airplanes, boats, clothes, houses, jewelry, girls, everything and you forget who was rich first. Who was rich before you and who is the most rich in all the world?

If you are poor you might think you are all alone. You might think people don’t like you and that you are cursed. But someone gave you a big present for your whole life. The present is the heart for life. You can live but not have life. God is with you everywhere you go and he has a plan for you. Keep praying, keep asking- if you don’t know Him, you need to know Him. It’s very important for your life.

You think maybe if you have a lot of stuff you will feel good, but it’s nothing. Share what you have. Even if you are poor you can give to people by volunteering and giving your time. Sometimes the only thing the children here need is time. It’s not just the children sometimes if you just sit with your friend then he is happy. If you only give him money but don’t spend time with him or show him love then you don’t know his problems and every time he goes away he is sad. Even if you are rich when you don’t have friends or people to stay and talk with you then you are sad.

Rich people have a responsibility to give. Some rich people here don’t know Jesus but then because of their giving they find out about Him. One time Jesus was talking to a man who was very rich:

“If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come and follow me.” When the young man heard this he went away sad because he had great wealth.

When you have, try to find those those who don’t have and give him a little of what you have to give. God will bless you more and people in the world will see you are good. When you are rich and have many things but you don’t give, you will be sad. Do you know why? Because God wants you to give. If you want to keep your life you need to work with God forever. When you give and you don’t know God nothing happens with blessing because you don’t know Him- how can He bless the gift? Try to trust Him when you give people things. When you know God you give according to His plan.

When you speak the truth more trust comes, more truth and more vision from God. To be responsible with giving you need to know Jesus and you need to have peace. If you don’t know Jesus how can you be responsible with giving? How? A man from England was visiting Mozambique and he gave someone a lot of money to go help the people in the village. The man who took the money didn’t help the people in the village,

instead he used it all for himself. The man who gave the money didn’t have peace or faith and didn’t know Jesus. He could not discern if the man who took the money was telling the truth or lying. It is important to know if someone is telling the truth about their difficulties because because you really want to help.

Remember, God, He knew you before you were born, and he has a plan for you. Don’t worry if you are rich or poor you still have to give. Don’t forget to look for people who want help- remember who is the most rich all the world. Do you know what to do to avoid being sad? Try to remember. When you give, you need to know God. Pray when you give and He will bless it. Remember who knows you the best in the whole world. I hope are blessed and that you give and pray about giving and that you will always remember this message. This message is not just from me, God is using me to tell you this message.
