THE PRODUCT OF A DIVINE MESSAGE
Read: Acts 8:5-17
MEMORISE:
But when they believed Philip as he preached good news about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptized, both men and women. (Acts 8:12)
EXPOSITION
The church is awesomely blessed with different dynamic preachers, everywhere. Through these great preachers, we receive divine messages every now and then. A wise man once said, “The society of each season and period and season.” Despite that we have preachers and there are new messages every moments, are these messages truly from God Himself? What are the motives behind the messages? Are they blessings or curse to the Church?
At the verge of the first Churches expansion, persecution scattered the brethren as God’s weapon for the rapid spread of the good news. The scattered brethren preached from house to house. Wherever they found themselves because a preaching point. An example is Deacon Philip. In his exploit, we will examine what kind of product a message should give to the body of Christ.
Divine messages produce total deliverance. Jesus encountered and drove out many demons in the course of His earthly ministry. Satan controls demons who fell from Heaven alongside him, and are troubling the world. They keep humans in the bondage of sin and sorrow. These notwithstanding a divine message produces total freedom. Philip discharge the mind of God to the people of Samaria, and they, after hearing the Good News, accepted Christ and experienced deliverance.
As we anticipate deliverance from all forms of bondage, there is the need for pulpit deliverance and restoration of divine message with which great deliverance would take place through the power of the Word. Only when we cooperate with the Lord to add to the church daily those who are being saved (Acts 2v47b). Can we have genuine growth in our church where believers were increasingly added to the Lord (5v14), after which they are added to the Church. Only then can we have quality Christians and Christianity.
PRAYER POINTS:
1. O Lord, restore Your message of truth in our churches and homes.
2. Father, help our church leaders to wait on You in order to receive divine message that would take care of both the real and felt needs of everyone.
3. Lord, let there be the revival of the church growth through real conversion experience.
