No Job? There Is Goodnews! by papalsman: 7:32pm On Oct 05, 2007
No Job? GOD WILL SEND HIS SON TO HELP YOU
Every Sunday afternoon, after the morning service at
the church, the Pastor and his eleven-year-old son
would go out into their town and hand out Gospel
tracts.
This particular Sunday afternoon, as it came time for
the Pastor and his son to go to the streets with their
tracts, it was very cold outside, as well as pouring down rain. The boy bundled up in his warmest and driest clothes and said, "OK, dad, I'm ready."
His Pastor dad asked, "Ready for what?"
"Dad, it's time we gather our tracts together and go
out."

Dad responds, "Son, it's very cold outside and it's
pouring down rain."

The boy gives his dad a surprised look, asking, "But
Dad, aren't people still going to Hell, even though
it's raining?"

Dad answers, "Son, I am not going out in this
weather."

Despondently, the boy asks, "Dad, can I go" Please?"

His father hesitated for a moment then said, "Son, you
can go. Here are the tracts, be careful son."

"Thanks Dad!"

And with that, he was off and out into the rain. This
eleven-year-old boy walked the streets of the town
going door to door and handing everybody he met in the
street a Gospel Tract.

After two hours of walking in the rain, he was
soaking, bone-chilled wet and down to his VERY LAST
TRACT. He stopped on a corner and looked for someone
to hand a tract to, but the streets were totally
deserted. Then he turned toward the first home he saw
and started up the sidewalk to the front door and rang
the door bell He rang the bell, but nobody answered.
He rang it again and again, but still no one answered.

He waited but still no answer.

Finally, this eleven-year-old trooper turned to leave,
but something stopped him. Again, he turned to the
door and rang the bell and knocked loudly on the door
with his fist. He waited, something holding him there
on the front porch.
He rang again and this time the door slowly opened.

Standing in the doorway was a very sad-looking young man in his late thirties. he softly asked, "What can I do for you, son?"

With radiant eyes and a smile that lit up her world,
this little boy said,
"Sir, I'm sorry if I disturbed you, but I just want
to tell you that
JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU and I came to give you my
very last Gospel Tract
which will tell you all about JESUS and His great
LOVE."

With that, he handed him his last tract and turned to
leave. He called to him as he departed. "Thank you,
son, and God Bless You!"

Well, the following Sunday morning in church Pastor
Dad was in the pulpit.
As the service began, he asked, "Does anybody have
testimony or want to say anything?"

Slowly, in the back row of the church, A Man
stood to his feet.

As he began to speak, a look of glorious radiance
came from his face, "No one in this church knows me.
I've never been here before. You see, before last
Sunday I was not a Christian. I left school 5yrs ago and has been looking for Job to no avail, not even Teaching Job could sustain my needs and that of my aging mother who struggled to send me to school, finally she passed on a month ago here in Lagos of illness that could have being taken of but there was insufficient money to give her good medication. Last Sunday,
being a particularly cold and rainy day, it was even
more so in my heart that I came to the end of the line
where I no longer had any hope or will to live. So I
took a rope and a chair and ascended the stairway into
the attic of my home. I fastened the rope securely to
a rafter in the roof, then stood on the chair
and fastened the other end of the rope around my neck.
Standing on that chair, so lonely and brokenhearted I
was about to
leap off, when suddenly the loud ringing of my
doorbell downstairs startled me. I thought, 'I'll wait
a minute, and whoever it is will go away.' I waited
and waited, but the ringing doorbell seemed to get
louder and more insistent, and then the person ringing
also started knocking loudly. I
thought to myself again, 'who on earth could this be?
Nobody ever rings my bell or comes to see me.' I
loosened the rope from my neck and started for the
front door, all the while the bell rang louder and
louder.

When I opened the door and looked I could hardly
believe my eyes, for there on my front porch was the
most radiant and angelic little boy I had ever seen in
my life. His SMILE, oh, I could never describe it to
you! The words
that came from his mouth caused my heart that had long
been dead, TO LEAP TO LIFE as he exclaimed with a
cherub-like voice, 'Sir, I just came to
tell you that JESUS REALLY DOES LOVE YOU.' Then he
gave me this Gospel Tract that I now hold in my hand.

As the little angel disappeared back out into the cold
and rain, I closed my door and read slowly every word
of this Gospel Tract. Then I went up to my attic to
get my rope and chair. I wouldn't need them any
more.

You see ? I am now a Happy Child of the KING. Since
the address of your church was on the back of this
Gospel Tract, I have come here to personally say THANK
YOU to God's little angel who came just in the nick of
time and
by so doing, spared my soul from an eternity in hell"

There was not a dry eye in the church. And as shouts
of praise and honor to THE KING resounded off the very
rafters of the building, Pastor Dad
descended from the pulpit to the front pew where the
little angel was seated. He took his son in his arms
and sobbed uncontrollably.

Probably no church has had a more glorious moment, and
probably this universe has never seen a Papa that was
more filled with love & honor for his son, except
for One. This Father also allowed His Son to go out
into
a cold and dark world. He received His Son back with
joy unspeakable, and as all of heaven shouted praises
and honor to The King, the Father sat His beloved Son
on a throne far above all principality and power and
every name that is named.


Heaven is for His people!
Remember, God's message CAN make the difference in the
life of someone close to you.


LESSON : first, this is a true story , it shows that with a little spark of faith , one can achieve it, yes, there are no Jobs, Yes, u fail that aptitude test 4 times now, yes , you came close to getting that multinational job…, something just went wrong, but Yes, God will see us thru here in Nigeria. Keep up the faith… that Brother In the story is in his final interview with a telecom company now… it may take time but God is still faithful…. IT IS WELL !!!.

Dear Papalsman,

Within the last one year of my life, I have never really being so touched and mesmerised the way your testimony has left me. You did a wonderful and marvellous work in posting this account to the house because you may never quantify the number of people whose life you have encouraged. I must confess that I am touched beyond descriptions base on the awesomeness of the good God we serve.

The goodness of the Lord shall always be sufficient for those who believe in Him at all time. No matter what happens I want everyone of us to understand that God has a good thought for us and will He will never fail to accomplish His words upon us.

Thanks man for sharing the wonderful testimony with us in the house. I do enjoy every bit of it and completely encouraged by it.
