Acts 3:5-6
“And he fixed his attention on them, expecting to receive something from them. But Peter said, “I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!””
These two men are busy, they have thousands of people to disciple and yet they are making prayer a priority. They have business to do with their Creator, and this man is asking for pennies. Peter tells him, look here I have a gift for you, it is not silver or gold, but healing in the name of Jesus. These men did not go around building their platform, or making their name great, but elevating the name of their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The good news is that our sin is paid for and we have the very power of God in us to make His name great, high and lifted up.
Jesus’ name is the
Essences of His Presence
and
Expression of His power
We who are saved by His grace through faith, have His Presence within us and His power through our very lives. Father God, reveal to me Your power in Your presence today in new ways. Allow me to see glimpses of what I have not seen, and what I have not heard before, so that I am able to walk with You into my planned future, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Walk by faith attentive to God’s purpose
