Thursday Writing...5/14/20..."Obvious God Signs"

Good Morning,

The devotional speaks of the continuation of the spread of Christianity that occurred and is recorded in the Acts of the apostles. People were taught the things that Jesus had come to earth to give His people. Sick people were healed and Christianity spread through the land in those days. Here is a quote from this writing, "Trust in Him. Ask in faith and step out to do what your situation would not allow you act on before. Then, leave the rest for Him to complete."

In these days we are the people who are carrying on what was begun in the days after Jesus was resurrected.

Blessings,
Brother Thomas Ukwute

"Obvious God Signs" 

Written by

The apostles were performing many startling signs and miraculous wonders among the people. At the hands of these special messengers, numerous attesting miracles were continually taking place. It was an amazing time when through the work of the apostles, many God-signs were obvious and countless wonderful things were done.

And all the believers gathered as a unified group in the covered porch of the Temple area known as Solomon’s Colonnade. The people of the city, the unbelievers, were speaking highly of them, but none of them dared to associate with them. They had high regard and respect for the believers, and even admired them, though most would not risk publicly affiliating with them.

Nevertheless, more and more people, both men and women, believed in the Lord. Those who acknowledged Jesus as their Savior and devoted themselves to Him were added to the group of believers and gathered with them. Crowds of people were constantly increasing their assembly in record numbers.

As a result of the apostles’ work, the church’s renown was so great that the people brought their sick out into the streets, carrying them on cots, mats and sleeping pads. They did this, hoping that when Peter walked by, at least his shadow would fall on some of them and they would have a touch of healing power.

And the people from the towns and villages all around Jerusalem were coming together, throngs of them, carrying the sick and bringing those harassed and tormented by evil spirits, and they were all being healed.

Acts 5.12-16

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today & forever. What He did on the streets of Jerusalem 2000 years ago He is able to do today.

Trust in Him. Ask in faith and step out to do what your situation would not allow you act on before. Then, leave the rest for Him to complete.

I believe a miracle is taking place in your body now check it. I believe a breakthrough is being born in your challenge.  I believe your victory is being realized on earth, as it is in heaven.

Lord, release the surge of your power now in Jesus name, amen. Share your testimonies to encourage others and glorify God.
