Faith of Leader
What happens if you are a householder who is asked to make an ark of God that you will wear as a family to save themselves. What action will you do? Maybe in your heart no doubt, which path should you take because you’re the determinant of the family. Roughly, if you will take the same decision as that of Noah?

Anchor of Hope
The old sailor looked at the sky and saw that the storm will come soon. Become malignant and choppy sea, sailors slowly lower the anchor, closed the door shut and went to bed. He knew the storm would be malignant. But he believed in the anchor. He knew his boat would remain there in the morning.
As sailors, we have ‘anchor’ in our lives who can help us stand firm to face the storms of life. The anchor is called hope. Biblically, the hope is closely related to faith.

The Hebrews believed that the disease is caused by sin in a person, who must be punished by God (Genesis 12:17: Prov. 23:29-32), by the elderly person’s sin (II Sam. 12:15); or deceived by Satan (Matt. 9:34; Luke 13:16). However, some verses state that there is not always so simple explanation for the disease.
In Old Testament times, people healing Hebrew connect with God. For example, Malachi speaks of Surya Truth, published by healing on its wings (Malachi 4:2), and David praised God as He “who heals all your diseases” (Ps. 103:3).
