DEVOTION ~ HEALING OF AENEAS

-
Theme: Healing of Aeneas 
Text: Acts 9:33&34

33 There he found a certain man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years and was paralyzed. 34 And Peter said to him, “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Then he arose immediately. 


In yesterday's devotion, we saw how the apostle Peter went through every part of the country. It was this that led him to Aeneas a man who had been bedridden for eight years and paralyzed. The healing of Aeneas has some notable acts we all ought to learn from. Peter found the sick man and not the other way round. He found the man as he went from one house to another and that's what we ought to do during evangelism. 

He never projected himself as capable of healing Aeneas but went straight to the one who has all the capabilities to do so. He said “Aeneas, Jesus the Christ heals you. Arise and make your bed.” Our sermons, crusades, revivals, and all other means of drawing others to Christ should point solely to Jesus, not ourselves. Because Peter trusted the healing power of Jesus Christ, Aeneas arose immediately from the bed that held him bound. We can also receive both physical and spiritual healing in any area of our lives if we trust that burden to the Lord. Receive your healing in the Name of Jesus Christ. 


PRAYER: What a friend we find in You our Lord that You are attentive to our cry and call. Thank you for the healing done in Your Name. We pray in the Name of Jesus Christ, inviting the Holy Spirit to heal any area of our lives that needs divine healing. AMEN!

CHARACTER STUDY ~ APOLLOS

-
Apollos means "one who destroys or a destroyer". He was a New Testament figure who steadily grew to become a servant of Jesus through ministry. He was a staunch Jew.  Some Characteristics of Apollos: √ Apollos was endowed with great knowledge and was very outspoken. In his line of ministry, he exhibited understanding of the old canon and delivered its message boldly.  √ Despite Apollos's eloquence and knowledge, he was only vexed in the baptism of John without the knowledge that the prophecy about the Messiah had already been fulfilled. John’s baptism was the baptism unto repentance: An act of confession and turning from sin which anticipated the coming of the Messiah. Let us be informed that Christ's second return is for judgment.  √ Apollos was instructed in the way of Christ by Priscilla and Aquila, two faithful couples in Christ. After one of his public teachings, he was called aside by the couple who explained the scripture to him. His submissiveness to adhere to...

Do you feel you're forgotten, rejected or insecure? Dear beloved in the Lord, you're not forgotten, for God has engraved your name in His palms. Isaiah 49:16 See, "I have engraved you on the Palms of My Hands: Your walls are ever before Me". If God has engraved your name in His palms, it means He always sees or watches over you. Rise up and shake the fear and doubts off.  Declare, "I am not forgotten or alone. The LORD has engraved me in His Palms. Therefore, His eyes are fixed on me, and He protects me from the wicked. I decree all that I have is secured in the Name of Jesus Christ. AMEN!

What inhibits you determines what comes out of you. The two elements are light and darkness. The light within produces good, whereas darkness is evil. It is recorded in  Ephesians 5:8-9 For once you were full of darkness, but now you have light from the Lord. So live as people of light! For this light within you produces only what is good, right, and true.  Declare, "In the Name of Jesus Christ, I no longer walk in darkness but rather in light. Therefore, every product of darkness within and around me is extinct. I decree that my family and I live in light, and we enjoy what the light produces in fullness. Our deeds are good, right, and true. AMEN!"
