Wonder-Working Power

TOPIC - Wonder-Working Power

BIBLE TEXT - [Herod] arrested Peter during the Passover celebration and imprisoned him, placing him under the guard of four squads of four soldiers each. . . . But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him. - Acts 12:3-5

If any story in the New Testament shows the power of corporate prayer, the account of Peter’s dramatic release from prison does! While he was clamped down in chains and surrounded by guards to prevent his escape, the believers who were assembled at John Mark’s house prayed fervently and persistently for him. They didn’t expect, however, God’s miraculous deliverance to come so fast or in such an amazing way. In fact, so incredulous were they when he appeared to Rhoda at the door, that they thought it must be Peter’s angel and initially didn’t even let him in.

Do you know people who are held captive in a prison of their own making? a situation in your own life that needs fervent prayer? Let this story encourage your heart that the Lord is able to break chains, open closed doors, and deliver. And your prayers joined with those of other believers are the very conduits through which God releases his power.

PRAYER

LORD, thank you for your wonder-working power! I once was locked in a prison of darkness to your truth and light. Thank you for shining the light of your truth into my heart and freeing me from sin. Please use me to share the truth about your great power with others who need to know true freedom in Christ.

INSIGHT

Prayer is the easiest and hardest of all things; . . . its results lie outside the range of human possibilities; they are limited only by the omnipotence of God.

Capsule One - (WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY?)

May 1st – Capsule 1 TOPIC: WHAT DO YOU WANT SO BADLY? BIBLE TEXT: Let us lay aside every weight and sin which easily beset us … Hebrews 12 vs. 1 You will start getting well when getting well is what matters most to you. Let your desperation drive you beyond concern about the opinions of others. As long as you are more conscious of people than you are of God, you will never get what you need. When Hannah, Samuel’s mother, prayed in the temple, there was so much locked inside her that when she began to pray and pour her heart out, Eli thought she was drunk (see 1 Samuel 1 vs. 13). God is raising up people who will confound us – radical Christians. Like those on the day of Pentecost, they were hungry for God. They will raise the roof to get to Jesus. They had carefully laid plans, and cry like blind Bartimaeus, “Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me” (Mark 10 vs. 47). When you are blind, all that matters is receiving your sight. When it looks like there’s no way out fo...

THE GRACE OF GOD

Date 📅 26th October, 2022 Topic The Grace of God Living Scripture 1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. The grace of God is very important to everyone both saved and unsaved though as many as believe in Christ Jesus receives of the grace and truth at work in the Lord. This is what sustains us as children of God throughout our lifetime here on earth. God's grace for the world is general but limited and that for His children comes only in Christ Jesus, for as many that want to partake of this kind of grace must be born again and baptized in the Holy Spirit. This brought about the testimony of brother Saul turned Apostle Paul who testified to be the least of all the Apostles and disciples of Christ. He was a persecutor of the gospel a child of Abraham under the common grace but not under the g...
