Everyone has a lockdown story. Some have discovered new hope in their quiet time with Jesus Christ. Others have experienced loss – loss of loved ones, loss of finances, loss of dreams and milestones and events – and they’re now trying to ‘pick up the pieces.’
The ease of lockdown won’t mean an instant ‘breakthrough’, and it’s in those moments that we need to continue to *‘Make room for Jesus’.* Like the men in Luke Chapter 5 who lowered their paralysed friend through the CEILING before Jesus’ feet, sometimes all we can do is step out in faith and do whatever it takes to make room for Jesus Christ into our lives and that of those in our sphere of influence and contact.
And sometimes that act of faith can be as simple as switching on the radio or television and listening to the Word of God or the ministration of songs by Music Ministers. It can also be reading the story of others and their story of hope and discovery of new ways of doing things.
I feel blessed to have the company of my siblings and christians in prayers and songs on Zoom Meeting App, on the radio in my car on my journey to work, errands and at home. It helped and still helps me stay in the presence of God more and without trying too hard.’
The Church have one mission: to make sure that every person, in every place, at every moment of the day, has access to the life-changing hope of God’s Word.
Share your experience(s) with God and the Gospel of Jesus Christ during the lockdown to help others pick up the bits and pieces back:
Proverbs 24:16 says,
*For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again:* but the wicked shall fall into mischief.
