Today as I am meditating, something I had read some weeks ago in the Book of Acts 3: 1-11 came to my mind which is what I’m about to share with you right now. In Acts 3: 1-6, Peter and John went to the Temple one afternoon to take part in the three o’clock prayer service. I believe that as you read it further you’ll see how Peter healed a lame man – one who was lame from birth. Due to his condition, he resorted to begging in order to support himself and the place he was often/ always carried to the gate called ‘Beautiful’. So, on this faithful day, as Peter and John passed by the gate, he stretched forth his hand to beg from them as usual but God had better plans for him. Peter spoke by the power of the Holy Ghost commanding him to rise up and walk. He immediately helped the man to stand and his bones immediately received strength and he began walking. Imagine someone who has never walked all his life! The Bible records from Verse 9-11 that he was jumping, leaping and praising God. He even joined the apostles to enter the temple and everyone that saw him was astounded. All this man did was to praise God for what He had done.
Brethren in Christ, my meditation for today goes thus; where you are right now is not your final destination, God has greater plans in store for you today and your tomorrow. There may be things in your life that you had given up on, you may have stopped wishing or praying about them. Just like God had stepped into the lame man’s situation and completely changed the narrative of his life, the same way he’s stepping into your situation right now. Believe me when I say that lame man will never remember what’s like to be lame after that day because god has filled his mouth with praise. Ephesians 3:20 AMP “Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the (action of His) power that is at work within us, is able to (carry out His purpose and) do superabundantly, far over and above all that we (dare) ask or think (infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes or dreams). We may be living like a beggar due to circumstances but the Lord is saying to us this day He’s making full provision for all our needs from spiritual, financial, mental and social. He’s not limited in any way nor by any situation. We’re His children and He has made full provision for all we will ever need. Our days of shame, disfavor, reproach and humiliation are over because our God has stepped in fully. Our days of hopelessness and wallowing in tears wondering if things will ever change are over because the God who did it for this lame man is doing same for us. Our ever merciful and good Father is here and He’s giving us a new song and it is a song of praise.
PRAYER
Dear Heavenly Father, we pray by Your Power and Grace that everything that caused delay and caused stagnation in our lives be broken right now in Jesus Name. We declare that our faith is producing undeniable results and we prevail in every challenging situation because the greater One lives in us. We’re strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. It is part of my heritage as the seed of Abraham to excel and make progress in life, from glory to glory. I declare that miracles and testimonies will be on our lips henceforth and always and the whole world will know that God has visited our homes in the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen
