Prodigal: \u00a0I tried some of your muffins?<\/p>\n

Me: \u00a0What do you think?<\/p>\n

Prodigal: \u00a0That possum’s on the stump!<\/p>\n

Me: \u00a0Thank you!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This is from the book \u00a0God’s Generals by Roberts Liardon<\/p>\n

In January of 1908, Lake began to pray for the needed finances to take the Africa trip. \u00a0Tom joined with him, and they determined the trip would cost $2,000. \u00a0They had been praying for a while when Tom got up and slapped Lake on the back, saying, “Don’t pray anymore, John. \u00a0Jesus told me just now that He will send us that $2,000, and that it will be here in four days.”<\/p>\n

Exactly four days later, Tom returned from the post office and three four $500 drafts on the table. \u00a0“John here is the answer!” \u00a0Tom shouted. \u00a0“Jesus has sent it. \u00a0We are going to Africa!”<\/p>\n

Just as the Lord proclaimed, in April of 1908, the group left for Africa. \u00a0The team was made up of Lake, Jennie, their seven children, Tom and three of his companions. \u00a0One of Tom’s companions had lived in Africa for five years, could speak Zulu, and would serve as interpreter. \u00a0They bought their tickets, but had no extra money for the expenses of the trip. \u00a0Now God’s one-time millionaire would learn how to fully trust Him. \u00a0He had only $1.50 in his hand.<\/p>\n

And as Lake obeyed, the Lord miraculously provided for the team. \u00a0The immigration laws of South Africa required each family that arrived to have at least $125, or they wouldn’t be permitted to leave the ship. \u00a0And as they pulled into the port, Lake had no money. \u00a0So Jennie looked at him and said, “What are you going to do?”<\/p>\n

Lake responded, “I am going to line up with the rest. \u00a0We have obeyed God this far. \u00a0It is now up to the Lord.”<\/p>\n

As he stood in line, ready to explain his dilemma, a fellow passenger tapped him on the shoulder and called him to the side. \u00a0He asked Lake a few questions, then handed him two money orders, totaling $200.<\/p>\n

“I feel led to give you this to help your work.” \u00a0the stranger said. \u00a0If you’ve heard from God, then step out in bold aggressive faith. \u00a0He’ll be there to meet you every time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Lamentations 3:58<\/p>\n

O Lord, thou hast pleaded the causes of my soul; thou hast redeemed my life.<\/p>\n
