LPUC eNews – Sunday 16 November 2019
Our Mission is to
Connect with people in Jesus;
Build each other up in faith; and to
Become Like Jesus.
Acts 12:1-17, Pray together as God’s family
In the text, we find that the church prayed to the Lord (vs. 5) when they were facing on difficult circumstances: one of their leaders, James was killed (vs. 2) while another leader, Peter was arrested and put him in jail (vs. 4). The church was on its knees and they were praying. They prayed fervently. They prayed faithfully. Eventually, God heard their prayer and sent down one of His angels into that jail cell. Peter’s chains fell off (vs. 7). The iron gate opened automatically. The angel led him out of the jail (vs. 10).
We have to remember that our Father God always sees our trials and hears our prayers. He treats us as His precious children and gives us the best thing for us. So what we need to do is to trust God when we pray. It seems that the angel drew Peter out of prison, but it was prayer that drew the angel. We should never underestimate the power of prayer, especially a praying church!
Dear friends, let us pray together as God’s family: pray for our church families to continue to grow their faith in Jesus and live out the faith in our day to day life, pray for our mission and ministry that we are committed to, pray that all of them may glorify God and expand the Kingdom of God here and beyond, Amen. IL-WOONG.
