Today is how God turned a mess into a blessing.
We don’t know why the world is going through this epidemic but we must take every opportunity we have to praise God.
When we honor and obey God the enemy tries to come in to disrupt things. We must hold on to God and keep the faith. There will be a blessing that will come out of the epidemic. This epidemic will only make us stronger. Many has fallen because of no hope and no life within them to fight. Just remember this one thing we may be down but we are not out. Get back up on your feet and say I will fight on today and forevermore.
Paul and Silas still in Philippi was about to witness the salvation power of God at work.
Acts 16:27-32
KJV
And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, and brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and to all that were in his house.
SALVATION TO THE GUARD AND HIS FAMILY
A. He was going to take his life- when we face hardship about to in it all. The fear of failure, the fear of hopelessness, the fear of what is next to come. That when people are about to do harm to themselves or others. Yet God can provide a way out. For all is not lost.
When he found out everybody was there and counted for he decided no to kill himself. The hope is in knowing everything will be all right. The light of God will direct the pathway. God hands is open wide all we have to is grab hold of it. Once we do than the next step will follow.
When the light of God is seen.
A. He ask what must I do to be save. Are you around people who asking you about salvation. Have the witness something so wonderful that they are asking you what must I do to be save. They might not ask you directly but will seek out God in their timing.
Are we drawing people into God’s kingdom?
Salvation is so simple and not hard to understand. Paul told the guard after he ask what must I do to be saved. Because of the events that unfolded and the power of God is seen, then come salvation if the heart is ready.
God demonstrates his power so others can be saved. Salvation come only through one man that is Jesus Christ God’s only son. He died for the entire world. The way to come to God is by Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved. It is that simple. Have a mind set in knowing that Jesus died on the cross so we can live. Live a life worthy of God.
You notice this about the guard because of the working of God he gave his life over to Christ. He invited Paul to his house and at that moment everyone turned their life over to Christ.
Salvation is knocking at your door. Realize what Christ did for us. Believe that Jesus Christ is the only way we can come to know God in a personal way. Look learn and listen to what God is saying. Many things God has taken you out of. The moment of death, the moment of a bad accident, yet God provided away for you to escape death. That was God hand at work taking care of you in the darkness hour.
GOD CAN TURN THOSE NEGATIVE THINGS IN YOUR LIFE AND TURN IT AROUND FOR THE GOD. WE HAVE LEARNED THIS IN TODAY TEACHING
Tomorrow the mending of the wound that Paul and Silas had. How can we God in that.
