There Is Healing In Your Name

 
October 14.   There Is Healing In Your Name
             
 “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk.” Acts 3:6

What an amazing encounter for a lame man whose thoughts were far from walking again. He was about his business of asking for alms at the gate of the temple, known by many who dropped money at his feet with no thoughts of praying for his healing. “Silver and gold have I none but in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk,” was the response from Peter. Was the man disappointed, possibly, but on this very day he encountered the power in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. 

Two things are glaring in this encounter with Peter, in the healing process, he had the responsibility to rise up. His faith, trust and belief in the words of Peter was at play in his ability to rise and walk. Secondly, his time of healing had come, an answer to the many prayers that may have been offered on his behalf. Eccl 3:1 tells us that there is time for everything under the sun, the power in the name of our Jesus Christ came forth and the shackles that bound him for years fell off. Is someone praying for you, find a praying partner, someone who you can trust . Peter went ahead to explain to the crowd that had gathered, “by faith in the name of Jesus, this man whom you see and know was made strong.”—Act 3:16

Today is our day to dutifully rise up from our slumber, our challenges, our fears, our sick beds as we hear our Lord telling us to rise up and walk away from our infirmities. Our faith will make us whole as we drop our mats, we rise up from living a beggarly life, we walk free and safe into the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ, our Healer, our Redeemer and our Righteousness. 

Let us pray: Our Lord, our troubles make us loose sight of who you are in our lives. Where help seems remote and seemingly impossible, help us trust that you have not left us, at the right time our healing will manifest your love and your mercy. Thank you Lord that you are still delivering us despite our shortcomings. In Jesus’s name, Amen 🙏🏾

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
