Joseph (The Hand Of God) - Season 1 - Episode 4

“But you know how impossible that is,” Hassan returned with sarcasm in his voice one afternoon.

“Because your parents are pagans?”
“We don’t believe in you God.”

“But He is the God who created you and me and is willing to save us from destruction. He is willing to give us everything we need if we will worship Him.”

“Including helping me pass my o levels at one sitting?” Hassan scoffed.

“There’s nothing too hard for God to do,” Paul replied. “All you need to do is ask Him.”
“You want me to pray to your God?”

“And if He answered your prayer would you serve Him?”

“I’ve never been an ‘A’ student like you, Paul, and as much as you have tried to help me in the past, I still struggle in the exam hall.”

“I’m not tired of helping you,” Paul said. “I also know that God answers prayers. You will have to study hard and pray, too. You will be surprised at the result of prayer.”

“If I begin to pray to you God,” Hassan asked, “doesn’t it mean that I think He can help me?”

“That’s it, Hassan. Prayer is a sign of faith. When you pray, it’s because you believe God is up there and He can do that which you cannot do.”

“My parents are going to kill me.” He laughed at himself.

“Why don’t you attend the youth programme coming up this Friday in my church?”

“Are you asking me to come to your church?”
Hassan looked at Paul ridiculously.

“I’m inviting you to Church, yes.” Paul nodded.

“Even if I consider your invitation, where do I tell my mum and dad that I’m going?”
“I thought your dad was out of town?”
“Yes, he is, but my mum will think it is the craziest idea I’ve ever brought up.

“I’ll pray for you in my quiet times,” Paul said. “I’ll pray that your mum allows you to come to church with me.”

“Have you forgotten we are not supposed to be friends?”

Paul patted Hassan on the back. They were running late for their football practice on the field. “Ask your mum when Friday comes, and see if she will turn you down.”
