Where there is God there is life and hope

I am a teacher by profession.l was fired from my job after a board member and a few parents created a story that l did allow students to eat at break time.l teach in foreign country.A disciplinary hearing was conducted, despite the chairperson of the hearing finding no case andrequesting that l be reinstated, the board refused on the pretext that parents would question their credibility if they reinstated me.l lost all source of income,my had just given birth,our third child was just two weeks old.My two older children had to drop out of school.My wife was on maternity leave,only for the law firm she was working to close without notice and relocated to another town.We had to stay at home and asked God take over.

And TRUE to Psalm 23,the Lord answered our prayers.People bought groceries for us,someone offered to pay our rent until l got a job.We had enough non perishable food to last us four months. I wanted to relocate but opportunity availed itself.l told God to be the porter of my life.I am a primary school teacher, but l was called by a high school principal to come and stand in for a lady who had gone on maternity leave for two months.The school paid me almost double what l was earning in my former school.After two months l got another job,l had only been in the new job for three weeks when some parents from my former school decided to open their own school .l was called to a pioneer of the new school.The schoo l was opened 3km from my former school.More parents followed from my former school.Two years down the line three of the parents who had accused me called me asking for forgiveness.They said was on their case and they were not at peace.l told them lforgave them soon after their joy inhavingme fired.God never gave ip on me.We kept on believing...Faith kept us going.Our story has inspired those around us that if you trully abide in the Lord and Him in you,your prayers wont be vain.God really answers prayers.My wife got a new better paying job. My children hsve learnt to put God before anything else..
