"Honoring God Part 2"
In Acts 3: We find a crippled man camped out in front of The Temple (the church), begging for money, doing what he felt he had to do to survive, but the people (church people) just ignored him. They didn't even try to give anything...Everybody except Peter and John, that is.
(paraphased).
When the man asked, Peter and John for money...Peter said: "Silver and gold I have none, but such as I have, I give..."
Acts 3:6
Beloved, That's all God requires of you. In this season, honor God by giving.
You don't have to be rich, handing out silver and gold.
Everything doesn't have to be shiny and perfect in your home, before you decide to give.
Give what you have...Peter and John gave that man what they had and it was enough to create a miracle in his life.
It was enough to get him up and on his feet, and change his demeanor from beggar to blessed.
Acts 3:1-11 KJV
If you've ever been on the receiving end of a blessing, if you've ever been in need of a miracle, if you've experienced church hurt or if you've ever been down and it took the help of someone else to get you back up...Honor God by giving.
I just LOVE that the bible says: And as the lame man which was healed HELD Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them....
Acts 3:11 KJV
Don't hurt someone else the way you've been hurt by those who didn't help you. A person can appear healed (perfectly normal) on the outside and still need to be held, still need someone to hold on to, to be okay emotionally, especially during this time of year.
You never know what's locked away in a seed. You never know what extending a helping hand with no strings attached can do for someone whose truly in need. You never know what a difference a few dollars donated can make, a hot meal given can make.
So, Don't just open gifts this Christmas...Honor God by being the gift someone else needs, really needs.
Until Next Sunday .
MeRRy CHrIsTmas Everybody!!! 🎁🎄💜
Love, Prophetess Stacy
