“While Joseph was in prison for a crime he never committed a sin, he remembered to praise God all the time. Nobody reminded him to pray.We can be taken as outcasts in our societies but we should always remember our God''Preached Pastor Chambwe.

“While we are in troubles, we should remember to pray. Nobody reminded Joseph to pray when he was in troubles. No troubles should set us apart from our God,” He said.

The Pastor led the sermon with scripture from Genesis 40:23.
