FAITH CAPSULE: Have the desire to become with the mark of Jesus.
ACTS 3
The signature of Jesus is His mark of healing and delivering where there is a need.
He seasons with taste where there is tasteless, bringing light to terminate darkness.
His signature is over the life of those who truly follow Him.
As an acclaimed believer of Jesus, do you carry his mark or desires to have His signature in your life?
The sad thing is that many have followed Jesus; many are following Jesus without the mark of Jesus in their life.
Anyone with the signature (mark) of Jesus will make a mark in this world of challenge.
John 6:1-2 records, “After these things Jesus went over the Sea of Galilee, which is the Sea of Tiberias. Then a great multitude followed Him because they saw His signs which He performed on those who were diseased.”
The bible identifies that the great multitude followed Him because they saw signs He performed.
The multitude then and today only followed Jesus but did not carry the mark of Jesus.
Carrying the mark of Jesus makes one answer for Jesus as the salt and light of the earth.
Jesus states, “You are the salt of the earth, but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house.” (Matthew 5:13-15)
The followers of Jesus are bound to be a light of this wicked world. Matthew 5:16 records the word of Jesus, “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.”
Peter and John followed Jesus and carried His mark.
They were salt and light, meeting the need of the world.
The mark of Jesus in the life of Peter and John was responsible for a lame man from the womb to receive healing.
At the gate of the temple called Beautiful, the lame were begging for alms when he paid attention to seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple.
Acts 3:4-6 records, “And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
Acts 3:4-6 records, “And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them. Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk.”
The lame man got his healing.
As an acclaimed believer with desire, carry the mark of Jesus and become a solution to your world.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live life for God to become one with a mark of Jesus, answering as a solution to your world.
