Good morning my fellow parishioners, today i want to speak on what I titled "The right person". What do I mean by that? In one's life,there are two kinds of people,the right and the wrong person. The right one will come into your life to change your whole being and transform your situations around you while the wrong one will only come to destroy and ruin your glory,this is when people regret ever knowing such people,but you can decide on who to have today by the reading of this post.
In Acts 3:1-8,we were told about the story of a man who was born lame from his birth and was always laid at the "beautiful" gate for alms. He has a problem which no one could help him at that time, he saw many people going into the temple to pray and praise the Lord,he also wished to walk but it wasn't yet time for him until he met the right person for his life. Peter and John came at the right time and saw him,he ask for alms as he used to but they have none. The man never knew his life was about to change from being lame to a walking man,his life was about to receive a divine transformation. I pray for somebody here that it is like you have lose hope on that problem you are facing,you have been rejected because of that stigma the devil has used on you,you are getting away from it in Jesus name.
The man was about to be changed totally,so Peter told him this in verse 6 that,
"Then Peter said,Silver and gold have I none,but such as I have give I thee:in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk."
There is power in the name of Jesus, that at the mention of His name,every knees must bow and tongues shall confess at His name. Even the spirit of lame do hear his Voice,what a powerful name it is. No matter your situation, challenges,problems,in debt,once the name of Jesus is being mentioned,they shall all bow down and flee. That was in the case of the lame man,immediately he rose up and started jumping.
This man has a problem that took away his original identity and turned him to a street beggar, any problem that leads to a miracle to glorify the name of God is a good one. Also any problem that leads one to Christ is a good one too.
The right person may not necessarily be a man OF God but a man FROM God. Probably this man has met many men of God but couldn't help him,but when he met in contact with a man from God,his identity changed totally,he became a free being and start praising God.
When God send somebody to you,He will not only heal you but completely let your problems go and never come back. As this man was our case study today,it shows that there is nothing God cannot do when the time comes for Him to act. Who can challenge His power? No one! Who can comprehend Him? Definitely no one,so why worry about your situation, why doubting God if He would do it or not. The man never knew his miracle will come that very moment but he rose up and walk at the mention of the name of Jesus. Your miracle will come right now if only you believe. Problems give way when Jesus is there,so just be hopeful that your miracle is coming,the right person from God will soon locate you and turn that situation for you in Jesus name.
WHAT HAPPENED AFTER HE MET PETER?
He changed position: A man who was lame at his first position stood up and change to a man who now walks in the temple praising God.
He praised God: He has been wishing he could also praise God as other but when his miracle came,he started praising God
His life advertised Jesus people were diverted to him because of the wonders of God: Yes,when your life is transformed, people will marvel and glorify God in your life,so shall it be for that person reading this post in Jesus name
He got what he wasn't expecting : The man actually wanted money, but he got what is bigger than money
His original identity was restored back to him. HALLELUYAH
To enjoy the benefits of meeting the right person directly from God,it depends on you and your character. Your character can only tell if God is interested in you or not. Check yourself and see if your character is good and also in the line of God.
God bless you
