    Her soul rest in peace.
    In this 2nd half of the year, a new chapter is opened concerning you in Jesus name. A chapter of peace like never before, Joy unspeakable, abundance, open doors and great testimonies. You will have more victories, blessings, open doors than the first half. Your today shall be better than your yesterday and your tomorrow shall be better and more glorious than your today. You will achieve great things with ease. You will flow in abundance. God will raise help for you from unexpected sources. You are blessed beyond limit in Jesus name. Shalom!

    I write with so much pains in my heart because how can a lady that is due for marriage finally finds a man that agrees to marry her but the man is so penniless. this is just the case of my own elder sister, a single mum. We don't know whether or not to tell my sister not to go further because this guy can't even provide the necessary things for the tradition rite reasons because its got no job, he does this personal driving stuff for one politician but later resign wen the job was getting so stressful for him, this poor guy leaves home by 7am nd closes by 10am be4 he gets home is almost 11pm for just 20k a month, the day b4 he stopped d work, he said he mistakenly lost his wallet which his driving lences is in it which he would ve used in securing another job but don't even have 10k to do another driving license or don't knw how much is driving license. Please my dear brothers and sisters reading this to just cut the long story short, am writing this without my sister and d guy's Knowledge, please and please I really need our support towards them in contributing for this guy in getting married and in securing something doing . I do not want my sister single because she is a single mum and age is nolonger on her side. He is a very down to earth person and humble but its like life has frustrated him so much, please any1 in d house that can render a helping hand to them, I will be very grateful even if d case be it, requesting to see this guy in person b4 giving him a helping hand, I don't mind, I will still know how to talk to him to bone shame and come see whoever wants to help. Am really feeling for him and my sister, tho my sister works but her salary is just 10k and she said this guy goes a day most times without eating, that really touched me wen I heard, if u see him, he has really grown tin. You knw guys are not like we females that is got alternatives wen thgs goes rough. Please let's help this people out, this guy needs a helping hand for my sister's sake, am helpless as well, I would ve helped the way it's aching me....victoroch9@gmail.com

      First of all, it is rather disrespectful for you to have chosen this post about someone's death to tell your sisters story.
      If she is not complaining and she feels out of desperation that this is the mam for her, them what is your own.

      If you truly love and care for your sister as u claim then u will prefer her to be single than send her to a hot battle field out of desperation. The man u have just described is a victim of satanic embargo and needs deliverance immediately. What he needs is not temporary financial help but total deliverance and empowerment. What use is watering a plant with diseased roots? You have to treat the problem from the source. Take them to a bible believing church that is well versed in counselling and deliverance. It may be a generational curse or household wickedness manipulating his destiny. The good thing is the God of heaven and earth will answer. He is able to break every yoke! At the name of Jesus every nonsense must stop. Do this first and your sister will be settled. There is nothing impossible with God.
