BECAUSE OF HIS IMPORTUNITY
November 19, 1846.
I am now led more and more to importune the Lord to send me the means which are requisite in order that I may be able to commence the building, because, one, it has been for some time past publicly stated in print, that I allow, it is not without ground, that some of the inhabitants of Wilson Street consider themselves inconvenienced by the orphan-houses being in that street,
and i long therefore to be able to remove the orphans from thence as soon as possible two i became more and more convinced that it would be greatly for the benefit of the children both physically and morally with god's blessing to be in such a position as they are intended to occupy when the new orphan house should have been built
and three because the number of very poor and destitute orphans that are waiting for admission is so great and there are constantly fresh applications made now whilst by god's grace i would not wish the building to be begun one single day sooner than is his will
and whilst i firmly believe that he will give me in his own time every shilling which i need yet i also know that he delights in being earnestly entreated and that he takes pleasure in the continuance in prayer and in the importuning him which so clearly is to be seen from the parable of the widow and the unjust judge
luke eighteen verses one to eight for these reasons i gave myself again particularly to prayer last evening that the lord would send further means being also especially led to do so in addition to the above reasons because there had come in but little comparatively since the twenty ninth of last month this morning between five and six o'clock i prayed again among other points about the building fund
and then had a long season for the reading of the word of God.
In the course of my reading, I came to Mark 11 verse 24.
What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall receive them.
The importance of the truth contained in this portion I have often felt and spoken about.
But this morning I felt it again most particularly, and, applying it to the new orphan-house, said to the Lord, Lord, I believe that Thou wilt give me all I need for this work.
I am sure that I shall have all, because I believe that I receive, in answer to my prayer.
Thus, with my heart full of peace concerning this work, I went on to the other part of the chapter, and to the next chapter.
After family prayer I had again my usual season for prayer with regard to all the many parts of the work, and the various necessities thereof, asking also blessings upon my fellow labourers.
upon the circulation of bibles and tracts and upon the precious souls in the adult school the sunday schools the six-day schools and the four orphan houses amidst all the many things i again made my requests about means for the building
and now observe, about five minutes after I had risen from my knees, there was given to me a registered letter, containing a cheque for three hundred pounds, of which two hundred and eighty pounds are for the building fund, ten for my own personal expenses, and ten pounds for Brother Crake.
The Lord's holy name be praised for this precious encouragement, by which the building fund is now increased to more than six thousand pounds.
Mr. Muller's first orphan house.
