TOPIC : FAITH IN HARD TIMES
TEXT : ACTS 9:36-40
[36]Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
[37]And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died: whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
[38]And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
[39]Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber: and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
[40]But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
The ministry handed over to the disciples were at its infancy when the disaster of Dorcas's death struck them.
It was the enemy's arrow thrown to destroy the young ministry.
It was an unbearable loss.
They sent for peter.
Peter met a wailing church.
Satan's arrow got his target with precision.
Peter sent the weeping congregation away, knelt down, prayed and resurrected her.
You will not be put to shame.
You have already survived that attack in Jesus might name.
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 our devotionals)
