Brother Teklemariam's wife initially rejected the truth he had accepted. Soon after her rejection, she became seriously ill. While on her sick bed, she began to read the pamphlet. Before she finished reading it, she was healed. She then accepted its biblical message and was baptized in the name of Jesus Christ.
Conclusion
Does God forget our labors and sacrifices for Him?
No, a thousand times no! He gives beauty for ashes and the cup of joy for sorrow. For the sacrifice of my grades. He later rewarded me with a doctorate in law with the highest honors the law school confers. Since then. He has blessed me with a wonderful profession as a lawyer, with money, and more importantly, with a wonderful wife, family, and fi"iends. Surely I have experienced the bless ing ofobedience, and surely I can say, "Thank You, Lord, for battles fi*om my birth to the printing ofthe pamphlet. All were part of Your glorious plan! Praise be to Your
holy name!"
Truly, the road to revival in Ethiopia leads all the way
back into eternity, into the very heart and mind of God Himself.
