"And when they could not come nigh unto Him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay."Mark 2:4
Faith is full of inventions. The house was full, a crowd blocked up the door, but faith found a way of getting at the Lord and placing the palsied man before Him. If we cannot get sinners where Jesus is by ordinary methods we must use extraordinary ones. It seems, according to Luke 5:19, that a tiling had to be removed, which would make dust and cause a measure of danger to those below, but where the case is very urgent we must not mind running some risks and shocking some proprieties. Jesus was there to heal, and therefore fall what might, faith ventured all so that her poor paralyzed charge might have his sins forgiven. O that we had more daring faith among us! Cannot we, dear reader, seek it this morning for ourselves and for our fellow-workers, and will we not try to-day to perform some gallant act for the love of souls and the glory of the Lord.
The world is constantly inventing; genius serves all the purposes of human desire: cannot faith invent too, and reach by some new means the outcasts who lie perishing around us? It was the presence of Jesus which excited victorious courage in the four bearers of the palsied man: is not the Lord among us now? Have we seen His face for ourselves this morning? Have we felt His healing power in our own souls? If so, then through door, through window, or through roof, let us, breaking through all impediments, labour to bring poor souls to Jesus. All means are good and decorous when faith and love are truly set on winning souls. If hunger for bread can break through stone walls, surely hunger for souls is not to be hindered in its efforts. O Lord, make us quick to suggest methods of reaching Thy poor sin-sick ones, and bold to carry them out at all hazards.
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.
