Text: Acts 14:8-10
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
The way you position yourself will determine how much you will get from God this year. Your location will determine your allocation. You have a role to play in determining your outcome and what you will receive.
In today’s text, concerning Paul, the Word of God told us, “While they were at Lystra, they came upon a man with crippled feet who had been that way from birth, so he had never walked. He was listening as Paul preached, and Paul noticed him and realized he had faith to be healed. So Paul called to him, “Stand up!” and the man leaped to his feet and started walking!” Acts 14:8-10
God can do all things but the Almighty does not do all things to everyone because it is not everyone that believes that God can do all things. If you position yourself in unbelief or doubt, you will get nothing from God.
Paul took note that the man born lame was well positioned in faith, that was why he activated the miraculous power of God on his behalf.
There is a proverb among my people, the Yorubas, Southwest Nigeria, they say, “A child that wants to be lifted up by his mother will raise his arms up as a sign of willingness to be carried.” God does not force his blessings on anyone. You must be willing.
Position yourself in faith this year and you will attract God’s intervention in Jesus name.
Reflective Nugget: The way you position yourself will determine how much you will get from God this year.
