TOPIC : FAITH IN HARD TIMES
TEXT ACTS 12:4-7
[4]And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
[5]Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.
[6]And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.
[7]And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.
Dearly beloved, Peter was held by a hand that is stronger than his.
It was a very bad situation, he was facing execution.
Strangely Peter was calm.
What manner of man was Peter?
What did he know that made him fearless at the face of death?
His faith was stronger than death.
He was praying, and the church was praying for him also.
Suddenly, an angel of the Lord appeared in the prison and his chains fell off from his hands.
Beloved, do not give up, God's help is on the way.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them devotionals)
