So, in order to dispel doubts, God allows them to bear sprouts, buds, flowers, and fruits in one day. These wonderful miracles of God abound throughout the Bible. These are events that have appeared not only in one era, but throughout all eras. When an apricot tree sprouts, sprouts, flowers, and bears fruit, it shows that only God has life and hope.

God's work of life will continue in us when we are faithful to the work given without complaint, regardless of the level of our office. I bless you to be obedient in order in the Lord as much as you can, and to focus on your work.
