Be confident your deliverance is sure

What do you do when you are in trouble? Do you pray and also ask the children of God to assist you in praying or you do you cry and complain to God?

 Acts: 12: 5 “But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him."

 

Peter was in prison chained down between two soldiers. This was a great bondage and Peter seemed to be in a hopeless situation. A day prior, one of his brethren was murdered and Peter was supposed to be the next victim.   Peter was however relaxed and peaceful, sleeping in between the soldiers. He had learnt to cast his cares and burdens upon the Lord.  Peter’s focus was not on his circumstance but on God who has a good plan and purpose for him

 Acts: 12:6 “The night before Peter was to be placed on trial; he was asleep, fastened with two chains between two soldiers. Others stood guard at the prison gate.”

 

When you put your complete hope and trust in God, He will surely arise and deliver you. God is always on time and he is never late. What seems impossible for man is possible for God. There is no problem that God cannot solve. Is there anything too hard for the creator of the universe?

 Acts: 12:7-9 “Suddenly, there was a bright light in the cell, and an angel of the Lord stood before Peter. The angel struck him on the side to awaken him and said, “Quick! Get up!” And the chains fell off his wrists. Then the angel told him, “Get dressed and put on your sandals.” And he did. “Now put on your coat and follow me,” the angel ordered. So Peter left the cell, following the angel. But all the time he thought it was a vision. He didn’t realize it was actually happening.”

 

Let God be your focus. You will soon see His hand at work in your life.
