Today's reading: Isaiah ch. 36

Now Peter continued knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astonished. But motioning to them with his hand to keep silent ,he declared to them how the Lord has brought him out of the prison. And he said, Go, tell these things to James and to the brethren. And he departed and went to another place.
Then as soon as it was day, there was no small stir among the soldiers about what had become of Peter.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 12,16-19

Thoughts on the Book of Acts(102)
The prison gate had opened unexpectedly for Peter. Equally unexpectedly, the door of the Christians' house remained closed at first. The disciples simply could not believe that the apostle was free
An angel of the Lord had brought him out. Peter no doubt told them so, but he drew their attention not to the Lord's messenger, but to the Lord Himself, for he reported "how the Lord had brought him out of the prison". Even today it is important for believers to set their sight on the Lord Himself, not on his messengers or servants.
Peter left the city the same night. He asked that the other believers, the "brethren" should be told what had happened, naming James, the Lord Jesus' brother, particularly who was not one of the twelve apostles but was becoming more and more a "pillar" in the church in Jerusalem.
Only next morning was Peter's escape from prison discovered. The guards had to face the severest punishment.

FASTING IS NECESSARY

To relate with the Holy Spirit, you must be holy. You must also exercise a living faith, pray and fast. Some people will tell you that because had finished the work of salvation, there is no need to fast. To them, fasting is completely needless and is some form of self-inflicted punishment. But they forget that...More

REWARD FOR LABOUR

Jacob sojourned with Laban and laboured for him for several years. At first, his host was cheating him at every opportunity, and the years of his hard labour were almost in vain. Down the line, God had to intervene to enable Jacob eat the fruit of his labour. For a reader of this devotional, in every area that you...More

The name you bear is very important because it serves as your identity and your future may be connected to it. The name a person bears is sometimes indicative of the experiences he or she will encounter in life. Take for instance Moses: this name means "drawn out of water"
