FAITH CLINIC
DIG THROUGH THAT ROOF
MARK 2:1-12
When the great William Grace, founder of the Grace shipping line and ex-mayor of New York was asked the secret of his outstanding success, he quickly said, “the secret of success is stick-to-it-iveness, industry and strict attention to the main object at hand.”
When General Grant, who fought at the battles of Fort and Shiloh, USA, was asked to comment on how his troops won, he said, “I thought I was going to fail, but I kept right on.” What a lesson. It is this keep right on that wins the battles of life. I remember that it has been written that there is nothing new under the sun-Eccl 1:9. What this means is that someone has conquered whatever you are passing through or will pass through in this life at one time or the other before. No problem can paralyse you except you give up so soon. Every problem in your life has been given an expiry date by your God- The God that can expire all things without expiring.
That battle confronting you has been instructed in the spirit world on how long it must stay. It is definitely not forever and you won’t expire with it. The slow penny in God’s will is surer than the quick dollar in man. The slow trotter will out travel the fleet racer. It is the grace of God.
The scripture reference above renders that when they could not come close to him (Jesus), the opened the roof. The amplified version says they dug through the roof.
They dug through. Digging is tough. Waiting is tough. But listen child of God. The way is always through. Yes. There is always a way out of every battle. Find it. Refuse to give up. Assuming these men saw the crowd and gave up, satan would have rejoiced. But they knew that,
yes, the crowd of problems may temporarily block the face of the master, but stubborn determination and persistence will open the roof for the shower of manifestation. Yes, every obstacle has an opportunity, and every opportunity has an obstacle, but never forget that for every crowd of delay or disappointment, there is a roof of appointment. Patience will show you that roof.
All the men who the world called geniuses like Isaac Newton, owe all their greatness to abnormal and aggressive patience, stubborn determination and faith in God. Hold on, the last battle could mean your victory. Dig through that roof because this could be your year of great open doors. Amen.
Boast only in Christ and shore up your faith
PRAYER
Lord, grant me the grace to hold on and wait for you when necessary, Amen.
