Very interesting is this little peep into the house of the Apostolic Fisherman. We see at once that household joys and cares are no hindrance to the full exercise of ministry, nay, that since they furnish an opportunity for personally witnessing the Lord's gracious work upon one's own flesh and blood, they may even instruct the teacher better than any other earthly discipline. Papists and other sectaries may decry marriage, but true Christianity and household life agree well together. Peter's house was probably a poor fisherman's hut, but the Lord of Glory entered it, lodged in it, and wrought a miracle in it. Should our little book be read this morning in some very humble cottage, let this fact encourage the inmates to seek the company of King Jesus. God is oftener in little huts than in rich palaces. Jesus is looking round your room now, and is waiting to be gracious to you. Into Simon's house sickness had entered, fever in a deadly form had prostrated his mother-in-law, and as soon as Jesus came they told Him of the sad affliction, and He hastened to the patient's bed. Have you any sickness in the house this morning? You will find Jesus by far the best physician, go to Him at once and tell Him all about the matter. Immediately lay the case before Him. It concerns one of His people, and therefore will not be trivial to Him. Observe, that at once the Saviour restored the sick woman; none can heal as He does. We may not make sure that the Lord will at once remove all disease from those we love, but we may know that believing prayer for the sick is far more likely to be followed by restoration than anything else in the world; and where this avails not, we must meekly bow to His will by whom life and death are determined. The tender heart of Jesus waits to hear our griefs, let us pour them into His patient ear.
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.

Okechukwu, Chidoluo Vitus.
