Twelve years back at a night in September, Jayarajan was waiting on an isolated platform of the Ernakulum north station. He was not waiting to board a train but was waiting to jump in front of one and end his life. Thirty years of troubles and hardship had worn him out. He had started working from the age of 21, worked in seven different countries and had earned quite a lot of money too. At the age of 47, he became burdened with debt. He left his own home because of the embarrassment that he had and his own family had denied him. So he left home and was at the platform feeling distressed and with tears. While he was waiting on a bench, a policeman came and sat next to him and inquired about him. On hearing his tragic story, the policeman had compassion on him andfetched him a job as a security .During those days, he couldn’t sleep many nights due to hunger .Meanwhile, when he called home once, he came to know that his son had passed the 10th grade with 90% marks and that he couldn’t pursue his studies due to lack of money . This made him more depressed and he decided to commit suicide.
On a Sunday in May 2004, while he was at his workplace, he took an electric wire and wound it around his arm so that he could be electrocuted. As he was going to switch it on, a sudden thought came to his mind that he hadn’t eaten anything. So he went to a tiny shop nearby and sat on a bench there to have a cup of tea. While sipping the tea he sat and wondered why he was always going through a string of problems. Simultaneously something strange happened. A paper flew and fell on his lap as if someone had thrown it .When he took the paper in his hand, this is what was written on it.” Suicide is not a solution to anything. Because Jesus loves you, He will restore whatever you have lost. Jesus Christ will set you free.” The words in the notice hit him so strong that it felt as though someone was talking to him. He tore the paper thinking no one would need it anymore and he left for the shop. The invitation on the paper kept echoing in his mind and so he went to Kaloor A J Hall as mentioned on the tract, to attend the meeting .The hall was tightly packed and he sat in one corner with his head bent while people were clapping hands and worshipping God. Suddenly Br. Thomaskutty who was leading the meeting said,” There is a man here who has decided to commit suicide due to debt and because he is unable to give money for his children’s education .Lift your hands up and come forward if you are not ashamed to” .Jayarajan ran to the stage screaming,It’s me!”. The whole gathering prayed for him .Jesus delivered him of fear and death at that instant .He was filled with God’s peace .God opened doors miraculously for him .He was blessed financially and God restored all that he had lost.
Now he is the senior General Manager of a company that has a turnover in crores. All the debt he had is over and he travels abroad often. His eldest son completed his M.A and is now working in the Home Ministry of Kerala. His elder daughter completed M.Com and is married. His younger daughter has done M.Tech and is now working for an American I T company.
Yes my dear friends ! If you believe in Jesus, in this world you will have peace , blessings and eternal life.
