Memory Verse :1 Thessalonians 5:17. Pray without ceasing.KJV.
Bible Reading : Acts 12:3-5 GNB. Key Verse : v5.
When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he went on to arrest Peter. (This happened during the time of the Festival of Unleavened Bread.) After his arrest Peter was put in jail, where he was handed over to be guarded by four groups of four soldiers each. Herod planned to put him on trial in public after Passover. So Peter was kept in jail, but the people of the church were praying earnestly to God for him.
At this point in time in the history of the early church, king Herod rose up to persecute the Church of Jesus Christ. He laid hands on James the brother of John and put him to death. When he saw that the people under him was pleased with that, he wanted to impress the people the more by distressing the early believers the more. This time he laid hands on the main man and leader of the early church who was Peter. Peter was kept in prison awaiting trial and conviction so that he could distabilise the move of God at that point in time. The remaining disciples knew there was serious problem and that none was safe any longer. They knew that if Peter was be killed like James, the early church will suffer serious setback and be weakened. They therefore decided to take their own destiny into their own hands in the place of prayer which is also the place of authority
Because they didn’t relent but was consistent, they were able to push back the hordes of hell manifesting through the government of the day. In that situation, the Lord knew that Herod was bent on getting Apostle Peter killed, he therefore had to mobilise his angel for his liberation. They were getting ready to deliver him to the people the next day when the angel of liberation came by night to set him free from their custody. “Suddenly an angel of the Lord stood there, and a light shone in the cell. The angel shook Peter by the shoulder, woke him up, and said, “Hurry! Get up!” At once the chains fell off Peter’s hands. Then the angel said, “Fasten your belt and put on your sandals.” Peter did so, and the angel said, “Put your cloak round you and come with me.” Peter followed him out of the prison, not knowing, however, if what the angel was doing was real; he thought he was seeing a vision.” Acts 12:7-9.
At the appearance and touch of the angel of God, every bonds of wickedness broke loose. He led Peter through every fortified gates while the guards were under heavy divine control and couldn’t know what was going on. Peter himself thought he was seeing a vision, but realised that it was real when the angel led him into the road and asked him to go home. “Then Peter realized what had happened to him, and said, “Now I know that it is really true! The Lord sent his angel to rescue me from Herod’s power and from everything the Jewish people expected to happen.” Aware of his situation, he went to the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many people had gathered and were praying.” Acts 12:11-12.. This season the Spirit of God is asking his church to return people to the the place of prayer and intercession. As we obey the voice of the Spirit, he is going to turn many lingering battles around in our favour in his mighty mercies.
Prayer :Thank you Father God because you are the God that answers the prayer of your people. As we stand in the place of prayer this season, render useless every counsel of the enemy against your people in entirety. Thank you for harvest of testimonies in Jesus wonderful name….. Amen 🙏🏿.
Yearly Bible Reading :Exodus 3:1-22.
