Takers

"Partakers of the divine nature."2 Peter 1:4

To be a partaker of the divine nature is not, of course, to become God. That cannot be. The essence of Deity is not to be participated in by the creature. Between the creature and the Creator there must ever be a gulf fixed in respect of essence; but as the first man Adam was made in the image of God, so we, by the renewal of the Holy Spirit, are in a yet diviner sense made in the image of the Most High, and are partakers of the divine nature. We are, by grace, made like God. "God is love"; we become love--"He that loveth is born of God." God is truth; we become true, and we love that which is true: God is good, and He makes us good by His grace, so that we become the pure in heart who shall see God. Moreover, we become partakers of the divine nature in even a higher sense than this--in fact, in as lofty a sense as can be conceived, short of our being absolutely divine. Do we not become members of the body of the divine person of Christ? Yes, the same blood which flows in the head flows in the hand: and the same life which quickens Christ quickens His people, for "Ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God." Nay, as if this were not enough, we are married unto Christ. He hath betrothed us unto Himself in righteousness and in faithfulness, and he who is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. Oh! marvellous mystery! we look into it, but who shall understand it? One with Jesus--so one with Him that the branch is not more one with the vine than we are a part of the Lord, our Saviour, and our Redeemer! While we rejoice in this, let us remember that those who are made partakers of the divine nature will manifest their high and holy relationship in their intercourse with others, and make it evident by their daily walk and conversation that they have escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. O for more divine holiness of life!

Dear brothers and sisters,

It is with the love of god that I am writing to you. I am begging you to listen. I live in a community where we experience a lot of crisis due to poverty and unemployment. It is because of the problems that it leads to that I am concerned writing to you that you may lend to me your help where ever you are. When God spoke to my heart to bring up an institution that will see to helping youths establish business and learn how to manage it, I thought it was a joke till we start losing God’s children to crime. So I set up an institution to cater for the needs of youths who need your help, to set up, A BUSINESS CREATION AND MANAGEMENT TRAINING CENTER, WHICH IS CALLED (JLC MEDIA ACADEMY).

If you are interested in helping our youths leave the life of crime and learn the things that will benefit their lives. The center therefore needs funds to keep publishing the paper called CAREERDAY, which can sensitize youths towards creativity. So this project needs a minimum of 2000 dollars, (650,000). You can make your donations to us through our account. You can be abroad or Nigeria yet, God is touching you to give for this mission.
