Joseph could well have been driven to pray like that during many times in his life. He was sold into slavery by his brothers-only after Reuben, the eldest, persuaded the others not to kill him!

Crying over whatever lot in life gnawed at the very marrow of my soul (which now appears insignificant) I wanted a magical solution to emerge. God, I will believe, IF you show yourself!!!
This morning I woke up to this amazing video sent to me by a friend. It reminded me of the countless trips I have taken in remote places around the world.

You were saved when the word was preached to you either through a media (television, radio, magazine, newspaper, journal, internet, etc), through direct sermons in the church or through one-on-one evangelism via tracts, street evangelism or open air crusade and you must also preach to others.
