THE WORDS OF LIFE

DAILY GRACE FRI. 26TH MAY, 2017 THE WORDS OF LIFE ACTS 5: 20 Glory be to God of all grace for this glorious weekend here. Thank God it's Friday of light, life and liberation in Jesus' name. “Go, stand in the temple and speak to the people all the words of this life.” The Angel of light, life and liberation charged them to go on with their work, so as thereby to be discharged from the prohibition which the high priest laid them under; the angel bade them three actions worthy of consideration: Go, stand, and speak in the temple to the people all the words of this life. When you are miraculously set at liberty, you must not think it was so that you might save your life by making your escape out of the hands of the enemies or stubborn persecutors of your faith in Christ Jesus. No! it is that you might go on with your work of faith with so much more boldness. Recoveries from sickness, releases out of trouble, are granted you in life by God and are to be looked upon by as granted, not that you may enjoy the comforts of your life alone, but that God may be honoured through you with the services of your life.  The Psalmist says; Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee, Ps. 119:175. Bring my soul out of prison (as the Apostles here), that I may praise your name (Ps.143:7, Isa. 38:22). Now let's study the implications of this charge given unto them as enshrined in the text: Firstly, where they must preach: Speak in the exact temple where they were forbidden. One would think, though they might not quit their work, yet it had been prudent to go on with it in a more secrete, private place, where it would give less offence to the priests than in the temple, and so would the less expose them. No; “Speak in the temple, for this is the place of concourse, this is your Father’s house, and it is not to be as yet quite left desolate". It is not for the preachers of Christ’s gospel to be afraid or retire into corners, as long as they can have any opportunity of preaching in the great congregation. Secondly, to whom they must preach: The Angel said speak to the people; not to the princes and rulers, for they will not hearken; but to the people, who are willing to hear and desirous to be taught, and whose souls are as precious to Christ Jesus, and ought to be so to you as believer in Christ, as the souls of the greatest. Speak to the people, to all in general, for all are concerned. Nobody must be left out, the words of this life is for all and sundry. Friend, obedience to great commission must be emulated from these Apostles and be willing to give up in order to go up with Him. To be continued.... Enjoy your day.! Personal Confession: Father Lord, help me not to disobey your commands in life Jesus' name.
