Topic :Make Jesus Christ Your Refuge
Memory Verse :Acts 4:12. Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us.”
Bible Reading: Acts 4:9-11 GNB. Key Verse : v10.
if we are being questioned today about the good deed done to the lame man and how he was healed, then you should all know, and all the people of Israel should know, that this man stands here before you completely well through the power of the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth — whom you crucified and whom God raised from death. Jesus is the one of whom the scripture says: ‘The stone that you the builders despised turned out to be the most important of all.’
The healing of the 40 year old lame man by the beautiful gate by Peter and John ignited revival in the city because they didn’t need to preach much for men to give their lives to Christ, haven seen his mighty healing in the life of one they had known and seen all the years from birth. The people who crucified Christ thinking they ended his ministry was enraged and arrested Peter and John. They slept in custody and the next day, when they were arraigned by the authorities, Peter full of the Holy Spirit stood to defend the truth before all who cared to listen. “You killed the one who leads to life, but God raised him from death — and we are witnesses to this. It was the power of his name that gave strength to this lame man. What you see and know was 7done by faith in his name; it was faith in Jesus that has made him well, as you can all see.“And now, my fellow-Israelites, I know that what you and your leaders did to Jesus was due to your ignorance.” Acts 3:15-17.
Though enemies of the gospel didn’t believe Jesus and the mighty works being done in his name to authentic his Lordship after he was gone back to heaven, they had no answer to what God was doing through the disciples of Jesus Christ. At this point, they were afraid of the wrath of the populace who was rejoicing at the might works of God in the life of the young man. Even the young man himself that was healed was present in the hearing. When they didn’t see any just ground to punish Peter and John, they released them with enough treath to stop them from preaching and teaching in the name of Jesus which couldn’t hold water. “Salvation is to be found through him alone; in all the world there is no one else whom God has given who can save us.” The members of the Council were amazed to see how bold Peter and John were and to learn that they were ordinary men of no education. They realized then that they had been companions of Jesus. But there was nothing that they could say, because they saw the man who had been healed standing there with Peter and John.” Acts 4:12-14.
It’s very touching that with all the proofs we see in the Bible and in practical life about the glory and power of the gospel and name of Jesus Christ, many still wallow in unbelief and darkness. No other name can save or deliver men from sin and everything that stands as a deformation in our lives. They turn deaf ears to the true word of God that can save and heal, they turn blind eyes to the great and wonderful things he does in our lives and days. Today, Jesus is reaching out to as many as care, whatever good things we are looking for in this life is with him. If you need protection from the onslaught of enemies, run to Jesus Christ. He came to the earth so that your needs be met through him, when you believe in and trust him. “Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:9-11 KJV.
Prayer :Thank you Father God for what you did for mankind through Jesus Christ. Lord Jesus, as I believe and hold unto you, manifest yourself in every aspect of my life. Let your glory cover me and fill my life with uncommon testimonies daily in Jesus wonderful name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
