GRAVITATIONAL PULL. By Pst.
E.A. Adeboye
MEMORISE : For a great door and
effectual is opened unto me, and there
are many adversaries.1 Corinthians 16 :
9.
READ : ACTS 3 : 1 – 8.
1 Now Peter and John went up together
into the temple at the hour of prayer,
being the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man lame from his
mother’s womb was carried, whom they
laid daily at the gate of the temple which
is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them
that entered into the temple;
3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go
into the temple asked an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him
with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting
to receive something of them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I
none; but such as I have give I thee: In
the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise
up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and
lifted him up: and immediately his feet
and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked,
and entered with them into the temple,
walking, and leaping, and praising God.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : MARK 14 – 16.
Flying is the best method of motion. It is
faster and usually safer than road
transport. However, before you can fly,
there is a major force you must
overcome: this is the force of gravity. The
force of gravity is a force that is out there
to pull down anything that goes up.
Although this force operates in the
physical realm, you have a similar force
operating in the spiritual realm. There are
three main areas that can pull you down
spiritually as you attempt to climb up or
to fly: first is sickness and disease. Many
times, people would want to get up and
fly for the Lord but sickness and disease
will pull them back. In John 5 : 2 – 9, we
read of a man who was held back for 38
years. For that length of time, he was
restricted to the colony of the sick. Do
you desire to fly for Jesus and to
accomplish great things for the Master,
but sickness or disease is holding you
back? In the name of Jesus, that force of
sickness and disease operating in your life
is broken this minute! Remember as you
receive your healing, it is for you to go
and serve the Lord.
Another force that could keep an
individual from flying is poverty. The man
born lame recorded in Acts 3 : 1 – 8 was
not only incapacitated by his inability to
walk, but also by poverty, hence he
begged all his life for alms until the day
he was healed. It is usually the rich that
mostly travel by air, most poor people
cannot afford to fly. When Pharaoh
agreed to let the Israelites go, he told
them to leave their flocks and wealth
behind. If you are born-again but poor,
you may not be a great threat to the
devil. In fact, he will even want to
discourage you because you lack the
resources to live and serve God. But if
you are saved and wealthy, the devil will
be scared because he knows that you will
be able to serve God, sponsor Kingdom
projects, help fellow brothers and sisters
in need and use that money to win souls
to Christ. Are you financially limited
today! That yoke is destroyed today!
However, pay up all your tithe and vows
to God. Sow sacrificial seed into His
Kingdom, release your faith and it shall be
well with you.
PRAYER POINT :
Every spiritual gravitational pull meant to
hinder my motion, Father, uproot them
today.
GOOD MORNING, ENJOY THE HOLIDAYS.
