Acts 3:1-9
The word of God is totally true to perform when it states, “…If two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.” (Matthew 18:19) The word was manifested clearly when Peter and John jointly operated together. It is written, “Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.” (Acts 3:1) In the going up of Peter and John to the temple there was togetherness. It is always important that going up to the temple in togetherness should always be in place, especially when it is the hour of prayer.
Today, many are going up to the temple without the spirit of togetherness. The absence of togetherness is the absence of the manifestation of power. Another power generator for Peter and John was the importance of time consistency with God. There going was at the hour of prayer and not after the hour of prayer. Today, believers walk late into temple without paying attention to the importance of promptness. Promptness with time before God is taking a position to receive, it is an evidence of preparation and where there is preparation there will be undeniable provision. All of these count before God and they are among what moves the hand of God. Promptness before God is an action which demonstrates our fear for God. Also, it points to orderliness which without it untimely death takes the place of lack of promptness. Remember, God is a God of order.
There was power in the going of Peter and John because they were together and on time with mindfulness of Kingdom’s business. At the gate of the temple, a man lame from his mother’s womb was waiting for the unexpected to happen. Peter and John, the agents of expectation for manifestation were also on time to the ground of their business. Just as Peter and John came in contact with the lame man, all that needed to get the lame out from his years of stagnation was the ability to get the lame man’s attention. The lame man seeing, “…Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms. 4 And fixing his eyes on him, with John, Peter said, “Look at us.” 5 So he gave them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.” (Acts 3:3-5)
Being at location, at the juncture of your miracle is not enough but the combination of who you look at and what you are looking for will grant your miracle manifestation. Peter and John specifically called out the lame man’s attention.
Prayer for today: Ask for the grace to be positioned and be prepared for your miracle breakthrough.
