Bible Reading: Acts 3: 1 - 10
Topic: What We Have, We Give You
In today's text, we read
about the crippled beggar at the Temple's gate.
He had never walked but
depended on others to help carry him to the Temple's gate to receive
benevolence daily.
He must have lost all hope
of ever being able to walk. He probably didn't ever pray for that. He knew and
learned only one thing to beg for alms from the passersby.
Peter and John were going
to the Temple at the hour of prayer one day and the beggar asked them for alms.
Peter replied the man 'Look at us"
Paying attention and listening carefully to the message of God through His servants is very important, if we are to receive from God.
Paying attention and listening carefully to the message of God through His servants is very important, if we are to receive from God.
For the man to give his
attention and receive from them, he needed FAITH in action. "So then faith
cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God" (Rom. 10: 17)
The crippled man looked in
faith to Peter and John that afternoon and he was healed and delivered from a
life of poverty and deprivation.
Prayer
Dear Lord, may my faith look
up to Thee and deliver me from everything that has crippled my life, Amen.
Memory Verse Acts 3: 8
"And he leaping up,
stood and walked and entered with them into the Temple, walking and leaping and
praising God"
