RESTORATION TODAY

BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.

THEME: BRINGING PEOPLE TO JESUS [3]

And when they could not find by what way they might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus. Luke 5: 19.

When you pick up the weight of another person, it can be a heavy burden to bear. In the story of this paralytic man, notice that:

It Took Four People To Bring This Man To Jesus: Sometimes you have to call in reinforcements. When you've prayed for someone and nothing seems to be happening, here's great Scripture: If two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by my Father in heaven. For where two or three come together in my name, there am I with them (Matthew 18: 19 - 20)

It Was Their Faith, Not The Sick Man's Faith That Jesus Responded To: When Jesus saw their faith, he said, Friend, your sins are forgiven(Luke 5: 20). The poor guy had been in this condition for so long that his faith was probably as dead as his limbs. But that?s no problem for God; He?ll respond to your faith by touching your loved one.


They Refused To Give Up On Him: You tenacious faith that refuses to quit. Just because you talked to someone about the Lord before and they didn't respond, doesn't mean they won't respond now. Maybe they weren?t ready back then, and now their circumstances have changed. Maybe you went about it the wrong way, and now you have a better approach. The point is, when you do your part, God will do his. ?so let?s not allow ourselves to get fatigued doing good. At the right time we will harvest a good crop if we don?t give up, or quit? (Galatians 6: 9 MSG).

 When you do your part, God will do His.
