Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.” 7 And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. 8 So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God. Acts 3:6
This miracle was in the name of Jesus Christ. There
is no other name. It is not the name of any man or woman of God on earth. Man is a vessel not the source. No other name should be glorified than Jesus.
The miracle was declared as a command ‘Rise up and walk.’ The Apostles were prayed up and full of the Holy Spirit power. They commanded in the name of Jesus and the miracle happened. We should not wait till we have a problem before we devote time to prayer and fasting. Let it be a lifestyle so that we are ready in and out of season to declare the word and give the command.
The miracle was to glorify Almighty God not man. And
the people were filled with wonder and amazement. It was not an opportunity to start a miracle business enterprise or to start making man god. No man should be glorified but Elohim.
The miracle was an opportunity to preach about
Jesus. Even though Peter and John were arrested, however, many of those who
heard the word believed; and the number of the men came to be about five
thousand (Acts 4:4). Use your testimony to preach Christ crucified, the hope of glory, the source of miracle signs and wonders.
Most importantly, salvation is in the name of Jesus. There is
miracle, signs and wonder by faith in the name of Jesus. Because God the Father
has glorified His Son and given Him the name that is above all names, at the
mention of which every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father (Phil 2:10,11). Hallelujah!
We don’t have to be a lame man walking, a blind man
seeing, a deaf hearing or a dumb speaking. Every day of our life is a miracle.
That we are alive is a miracle. That we have the hope of salvation is a miracle.
And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom
you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in
the presence of you all. Acts 3:16
The miracle of the lame man is a reminder that
faith in the name of Jesus can reverse the seemingly irreversible. May we not
miss that appointed time of miracle. As a servant of Yeshua, He will use us for
His miracle, signs and wonder for the glory of His name
PrayerforToday 1 May 2018
Almighty Father, May I not miss my time of miracle in Jesus name.
May I be ready in faith and through a prayed up life to be a vessel for
miracle, signs and wonders. May I keep my eyes focused on Christ and not be
distracted by what is going on around me or my problems. Amen
It is the will of the everlasting Father that you may have everlasting life through Jesus. See Him in the Holy Scriptures, believe in Him and He will raise you up on the last day John 6:40 NKJV
I pray this inspires you to be more and do more for Yeshua Ha Mashiach (Jesus Christ).
