down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay.

of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia;
2 How that in a great trial of affliction the abundance of
their joy and their deep poverty abounded unto the riches of their liberality.
3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and beyond their power
they were willing of themselves;
4 Praying us with much intreaty that we would receive the
gift, and take upon us the fellowship of the ministering to the saints.
5 And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their
own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God.
3. THE STRONG CHRISTIAN WHO IS READY
SERVE THE LORD BASE ON THE TALENT GOD IS GIVEN TO THEM.
( Romans 12:4-11 ) Having then gifts differing
according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy
according to the proportion of faith;
7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that
teacheth, on teaching;
8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let
him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth
mercy, with cheerfulness.
9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is
evil; cleave to that which is good.
10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love;
in honour preferring one another;
11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the
Lord;
4. THE STRONG CHRISTIAN WHO READY TO
FACE HARDSHIP FOR THE SAKES OF FRUITFUL HARVEST IN THE MINISTRY OF THE LORD..
( II Timothy 2:3-6 ) And if a man also strive for
masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.
6 The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of
the fruits.
5. THE STRONG CHRISTIAN WHO ARE READY
TO GO AND WIN THE LOST AT ANY COST.
( II Timothy 2:1-2 ) Thou therefore, my son, be strong in
the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many
witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach
others also.
