PUT ON YOUR GARMENT AND FOLLOW ME!
Acts 12:8-9 NKJV, “Then the angel said to him, Gird yourself and tie on your sandals; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.”
The above quoted scripture is about Peter’s miraculous exit/escape from prison when all hope was lost and God has to send His angel to rescue him.
The bible says, suddenly, the angel of the Lord stood/appear when the light shine in the room. The angel, touch and wake him up snd said Hurry, get up! [Act 12:7].
Meanwhile, Peter was bounded with two chains sleeping in between two soldiers [Act 12:6].
The word came from the Angel of the Lord that Peter should get dressed, put on his shoes and garment and follow him.
There are significant lessons to learn from this Acts of the Apostles 12:9-11.
These are:
1. God is faithful and can deliver us from impossible situations [Verse 9].
2. Our obedience to God’s leading, even when uncertain, is crucial [Verse 9].
3. God’s angelic intervention and guidance are available to us as a child of God [Verse 10].
4. Prayer and intercession can lead to miraculous deliverance [Verse 12].
5. God answers prayers and can intervene in our lives when all hopes seems to have been lost [Verse 12].
6. We should be thankful and acknowledge God’s deliverance and guidance [Verse 11].
7. God’s plans and purposes are greater than human understanding [Verse 11].
8. Our faith and trust in God should be unwavering, even in challenging situations [Verse 9].
These lessons encourage us to trust in GOD’S SOVEREIGNTY, GUIDANCE, and DELIVERANCE, and to remain FAITHFUL and OBEDIENT to His leading, even when faced with uncertainty or adversity.
Prayers
1. O Lord, deliver me today from my impossible situations!
2. Uncompromising faith from above, fall on me!
3. God’s angelic intervention, locate me today!
4. I refuse to be a disobedient child of God!
5. God’s plans and purposes greater than human understanding, be my lot!
Good Morning. Today, I shall be a candidate of angelic intervention, in the name of JESUS!
