CAPACITY
Psalm 126

In all kinds of captivity, God has the capacity to deliver. It does not matter how ugly the situation because with God, ugliness will be converted into beauty. How long the captivity does not excuse or cannot stop the hand of God from cutting it short and take over for His name to be glorified. God’s intervention will not announce itself, but will renounce every plan and purpose of the enemy. Peter, in his captivity, was at the point of death. All doors had been shut on him; chains were holding him down and he probably had given up by sleeping instead of waiting on God. At the time of his deliverance, he was not aware of what was going on around him and that testifies to the fact that God’s intervention is not for the enemy to know neither the soon-to-be delivered one to have an idea. The situation calls for only trust and the ability and patience to wait. While deliverance was taking place in Peter’s life, he was not with himself. “And when Peter had come to himself, he said, ‘Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people.’” (Acts 12:11) The Lord’s delivering power is most definite and most reliable because by strength no man has the capacity to prevail except God. Are you looking for a way out of the way you have put yourself or out of the way that is not of God? Repent and ask Him to move on your behalf because He is a faithful God and will never let His own down. God alone has the capacity to deliver from captivity that which is holding any man down. When God brings you out of your captivity, it will be just like it was for Peter and it will be just like a dream. Psalm 126, “When the Lord brought back the captivity of Zion, we were like those who dream. 2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing. Then they said among the nations, ‘The Lord has done great things for them.’ 3 The Lord has done great things for us, and we are glad.” God will not only deliver from captivity, but will lay down every mark of destruction on every agent of your captivity. When Peter was led unto freedom by the hand of God: “… there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter. 19 But when Herod had searched for him and not found him, he examined the guards and commanded that they should be put to death. And he went down from Judea to Caesarea, and stayed there.”(Acts 12:18-19) God is capable by virtue of His capacity to deliver from captivity. Hold on to Him for your story will soon change for good and it will be like a dream.
