Haiti, Judgement of God?

Greetings everyone! I trust your week is going well. We heard from our friends Pastors Willem and Beth Charles in Haiti. They are fine and their children are doing fine. Their medical facility at their ministry center was pretty much destroyed. They started this past weekend building it back with the help of a ministry out of Chicago that was staying with them before the quake came. Willem believes that the judgment hand of God is on Haiti. He noted that hundreds or thousands of corrupt government officials that lost their lives in the quake. He said he believes God wants to raise up a new and just government that will not take advantage of the people. He believes that God desires to do a new thing in Haiti beginning spiritually and then carrying over into every area of Haiti. He asks that we keep him and his country in our prayers.

Only a few days remain in our 21 days of prayer and fasting. I am thankful for this time to give to God the first fruit of my year. As in our cell lesson this week, God blesses the first of what we have when we give it to Him. This is a principle throughout scripture. You may not be seeing the breakthrough that you have been looking for since your fast, but keep walking in obedience. God's blessings are all around you! Focus on them and give Him praise.
