RESTORATION TODAY
SUNDAY 23RD APRIL 2017
BY PASTOR DR. G.O. OLUTOLA JP.
THEME: THE POWER OF PRAYING [1].
Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the Church. Acts 12: 5.
Acts 12 open with a bleak scenario. James have been executed and Peter was been arrested by King Herod.
He was going to be killed next. But when he read that constant prayer was offered to him by the Church? (verse 5). The church took this seriously and began to pray. So God sent an angel to deliver Peter from prison, and the story has a happy ending. Then Acts 12 closes, king Herod, who orchestrated these event, was giving a great speech, and people began to cry out, ?The voice of a god and not of a man!? (verse 22). God judge Herod and killed him on the spot.
The story begin with Herod in charge, with Peter in prison, and with evil triumphing. But as the story ends, Herod is dead, Peter is free, and the Word of God triumphing. This demonstrates what prayer can do.
