October 31, 2024 Divine Intervention
Acts 12: 1-5, 7-16,21-23
In today's message, we learn about how Herod killed James, but God spared Peter's life. God heard the prayers of the church and provided a way for Peter to escape from jail.
I appreciate how the Lord protects His church leaders by listening to the prayers of His people. He is always on a mission for His church leaders to expand and spread the message of the Gospel. God safeguards His children by answering their prayers and providing a way out of difficult situations. Ultimately, He is in control, especially when it comes to seeking justice. He took Herod's life for imprisoning an innocent man, Peter, and because Herod did not give glory to God.
Today, I encourage you to pray continuously for your situation, for God has a way out. Pray for others as well; God can bless, protect, provide for them, and lead them to the truth. Do not take matters into your own hands; allow God to handle what He is capable of, such as punishing evildoers and those who do not follow His word. He has a purpose for everyone on this earth.

October 30, 2024 The Same Grace and Baptism Is Available to Us Gentiles
Acts 11: 15-18, 26
In this chapter, we learn how Peter shared with the early church in Jerusalem that the same Holy Spirit who descended on them at Pentecost also fell on the Gentiles in the house of Cornelius. God revealed to Peter in a vision that what He had declared clean should not be considered unholy. Just as God extended grace to the circumcised in Jerusalem, He also granted this same grace to the uncircumcised Gentiles.
It’s important to understand that the grace given to the Jews is also available to us Gentiles, both then and now. Therefore, if you repent and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, the Holy Spirit—who is part of the Trinity—can baptize you. The Holy Spirit will also guide your life along the right path.

October 29, 2024 All Are Clean and Holy By God's Book
Acts 10:1-23, 28
In this chapter, we are presented with a beautiful message about how God considers all people—both Jews and non-Jews—to be holy and clean, especially those those who fear Him like Cornelius. God calls all things holy and clean because He created everything and desires for all humans to find salvation. As stated in John 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." This verse clearly illustrates that God wants everyone, whether Jews or Gentiles, to come to salvation. He is a merciful God.
Today, I invite you to accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior. He calls you holy and clean, and God created you to live in connection with Him. Each day, as you walk with Him, you will experience sanctification and grow closer to His presence.

October 28, 2024 The Power of Three Days
Acts 9:1-18
In this chapter, we read about Saul's conversion and how the Lord transformed his life. He went from being a persecutor of the church to becoming a key member of it.
Jesus spoke to Saul on the road to Damascus, and as a result, Saul became blind for three days, during which he neither ate nor drank. It was then that a servant of the Lord named Ananias came to restore his sight.
This illustrates that Jesus can work in the hearts of those who initially oppose Him, changing their life trajectories from being enemies of the cross to becoming followers of it. In just three days, Jesus changed Saul’s life, much like He worked in Jonah's heart in that short time. During these three days, Saul engaged in prayer, demonstrating his transformation.
God had a mission for Saul to influence the hearts of Gentiles, kings, and Jews to embrace the faith. Likewise, we also have a mission; we must work on our hearts so we can speak to others about Jesus. Perhaps in three days, we too will see the fruits of our labor.

October 25, 2024 What Are Your Motives
Acts 8:1, 9-24
In this chapter, we learn about how the church spread to other regions, such as Judea and Samaria, due to the intense persecution they faced after Stephen's death. Saul, who later became known as Paul, was the primary persecutor of the church and had supported Stephen's death.
One of the disciples who fled to other areas was Philip. He went to Samaria to preach the Good News, and many people believed in his message. Among those who came to faith was a former sorcerer named Simon. Although he was baptized, he, along with the others who believed, had not yet received the Holy Spirit. During this time, the apostles remained in Jerusalem. When they heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they traveled there. The apostles laid their hands on the Samaritans, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Simon witnessed the power of God at work through the apostles and offered them money in an attempt to obtain this authority for himself.
We must be cautious of those who claim to have received Jesus but do not live according to His teachings. Simon, well-known among his people, hoped to regain fame through the great power of God, the Holy Spirit.
Let us examine our hearts and ask ourselves if we genuinely believe in Jesus and aim to live by His word, or if we have accepted Him merely to secure our place in heaven. It is essential to live a life that abides in His Spirit and to follow His teachings.
I encourage you to reflect on your motivations for following Jesus. Are you following Him for the benefits, or do you truly believe that His teachings are the path to true life.

October 24, 2024 Stand Firm For The Case of Christ
Acts 7
In this chapter, we read about Stephen's trial before the Council: the Sanhedrin, Pharisees, Sadducees, and the High Priest. They accused him of speaking blasphemously against God and Moses, an accusation that was 'secretly induced' by some men. These men also said Stephen was going to 'destroy this place,' meaning the temple, and 'alter the customs of Moses, which was also invalid. Stephen defended himself by going down in history and mentioning Abraham to Jesus in all they did.
I believe Stephen's defense was that God is not confined to four walls. He is always everywhere, and indeed, Heaven is His dwelling place. Nothing created by human hands can contain Him; thus, He made everything that we see and use to build on this earth.
In all this, Stephen remained focused on standing firm on his case about Christ and how he was truly the 'Righteous One' sent by God and was indeed "standing at the right hand of God in Heaven. Stephen stood his ground and defended his belief until his last breath.
We should stand firm for Jesus and defend our beliefs at all costs. Life is fleeting, but eternity is eternity, and if we have Jesus, we will live forever.

October 23, 2024 Great Wisdom Comes From God
Acts 6:1-15
This chapter illustrates how the new church grew in numbers and added ministries such as a soup kitchen. The apostles did not want to neglect their main purpose of sharing the gospel in order to take care of this ministry, so they chose seven men to oversee it. One of those men was Stephen, who was known for his great wisdom, being full of the Spirit, and having a good reputation. He even performed signs and wonders because of his strong faith in God. It's important to note that the disciples were not only the 12 initially selected by Jesus, but included all those who believed in Jesus as the apostles spoke to them.
The main point of this chapter is that God is the source of all wisdom. While a person may have a good understanding, wisdom and full discernment of this world and God's word come from God. All who believe in Jesus have wisdom and discernment because it comes through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Today, I encourage you to come to Jesus to gain the discernment that can only be found in Him through His Holy Spirit. He desires to give it to all who come to Him. This wisdom and discernment are not just for the first church and men like Stephen, but for all of us.

October 22, 2024 Get A New Life
Acts 5:4, 12-16, 19-20, 24, 27,36-37; John 10:10; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 1 Peter 1:3; Romans 6:4.
In this chapter, we read about how the Lord treated the dishonest Ananias and Sapphira. He put them to death for trying to hide their property and money gains from the apostles. Then, we see how the apostles performed great miracles and wonders, but more importantly, preached to people about the way to a new life in Jesus.
When we have this new life in Jesus, we live connected to Him through the Holy Spirit, and He changes our old life into a more abundant life. When we have Jesus, we don't pray empty prayers; we say what the Holy Spirit wants us to present to God in prayer. His Holy Spirit guides our lives.
Today is a good day to give your life to Jesus for He desires to provide you with this new life that the apostles preached centuries ago. The message of which doesn't grow old because Jesus has guided people throughout the centuries since then. New life means repenting of our sins and accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior.

October 21, 2024 Greater Works
Acts 4: 11-13,31; 1 Timothy 2:5; John 14:12.
Jesus is amazing because he did not hoard God's power from us. Instead, he died on the cross to cleanse us from our sins, and after cleaning us, He allowed God's Holy Spirit to fill our hearts to do greater works than He did.
Jesus gave the disciples authority to perform great miracles and start the first church. Through their boldness and the power of the Holy Spirit, they added many to the first church.
Jesus wants us to do even greater works than He did so that unbelievers see His might and understand that, as it's stated in verse 12 of this chapter, there is no other name by which we can be saved than Jesus' name.
Today, I encourage you to submit to the power of the Holy Spirit to do even greater works than Jesus, for He is the only one who can equip us to do such things. He is a faithful and mighty savior.

October 18, 2024 Give What You Have Received
Acts 3:1-7
In this chapter, Peter and John blessed a lame man at the gate of the temple by giving him what they indeed had, which was healing for his crippled body. Peter and John did not have an earthly fortune, but they had the power of God through the Holy Spirit, which they had just received from God. Today, make it a priority to share the gift that you have inside you with others. Jesus did not die for just a few people but for all. When we use this power of the Holy Spirit within us, God is glorified, and others are healed, whether physically or with salvation from damnation. Give what you have received from Jesus today!
