Let us remember the apostle Peter locked up in the prison where darkness reigns, where he is plunged in darkness, where trial, wickedness, injustice reign but here is the light of God coming, a glowing light filled the room, everyone was stunned, immobilized.
The chains break, the prison doors open, Peter gets up, he is free and can see the light of day.
Do we think our situation is huge for God?
Do we think that the upheavals we are experiencing are impossible before the face of God?
We imagine that this delicate disease is incurable with the blood of Jesus?
Let us tell ourselves that the light of God will cover our situations and get us out of there.
Jesus is alive, let us call on him.
We are all in a prison like Peter and we need the angel of the Lord to come to us.
Acts, 12: 7 – And behold, an angel of the Lord came forth, and a light shone in the prison. The angel woke up Peter, smiting him in the side, and saying, Get up quickly! The chains fell from his hands.
Fast and pray for the light of God to shine in your situation.
The angel gives these orders to all who want to follow Jesus.
It is surprising but it is the words spoken by the angel that will deliver Peter.
What can Peter do with his hands tied?
Without divine intervention, death can strike him and that is why God sent the angel.
Why do we like to view our situations as inevitable?
We may have trials but God is our strength.
The Lord invites us this morning to:
* Get up promptly *: that is to say to move, not to remain seated.
To see the miracle of God we have to stand up, it is a decision that we have to make if we are to follow God.
The verb is in the present tense, it is not tomorrow that we must get up, it is today and now.
Curses, chains, resistances will not fall if we are in a position of comfort, rest, security.
When we are in prisons, we are in blockages, limitations, in the presence of darkness … And where the light of God is, no one can be captive.
We stand still for lack of light.
Peter was a child of God but he found himself in the prison, invaded by darkness, it is true but he did not stress, he fell asleep because he was not disturbed.
How many are we like this apostle who turn on the spot, and when we receive the visitation of the angel, we find reasons and arguments which comfort us in our sleep.
We have our churches sleeping and when God shakes them they continue to be in the shadows.
Let’s wake up and get out of these prisons.
The light of God is there to deliver us.
Hello to us
Have a good day
