GOSPEL CORNER
25/02/25
Around midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening. Suddenly, there was a massive earthquake, and the prison was shaken to its foundations. All the doors immediately flew open, and the chains of every prisoner fell off!
Acts 16:25–26, NLT
Chains Fall Off
Peace, in Acts 16, Paul and Silas were in the streets of the city of Philippi sharing the gospel with people. They hadn’t committed any crime, but they were falsely accused of trying to start a riot, then beaten with rods and put in jail. They could have been angry and bitter. That would have been common, but they were uncommon. Instead, they were singing praises to God at midnight in the prison, which the other prisoners could hear. I’m sure the other prisoners thought, “What is wrong with these guys? They’ve been falsely accused and beaten, yet they’re thanking God. They are not normal.” Suddenly, there was a great earthquake, the prison doors flung open, and they walked out as free men. An uncommon attitude led to an uncommon breakthrough.
Instead of being sour because somebody did you wrong, complaining about the disappointment, feeling sorry for yourself because you had a bad break, why don’t you do as they did and be uncommon. Give God praise and know that He will be your vindicator. That’s what brings uncommon turnarounds, uncommon healing, uncommon promotion.
A Prayer for Today
“Father, thank You that You are always worthy of my highest praise and that You inhabit my praise. Thank You that You reign over all the circumstances of my life and that You are my vindicator. I declare that I will be uncommon and that as long as I have breath, I will praise You. In Jesus’ Name, Amen
SECTION TWO
If God tells us that wisdom is the principal thing, then it behooves us to know and operate in the “spirit of wisdom.” But do you know what the “spirit of wisdom” is?
Look at the prayer (above) that the apostle Paul prayed over the church in Ephesus. The spirit of wisdom and revelation is in the knowledge of Jesus! The more you know Jesus and have a revelation of His unmerited favor in your life, the more you will have the spirit of wisdom.
I challenge you to pray this prayer for wisdom on a regular basis because when you increase in the knowledge of Jesus, He will surely lead you to good success in every aspect of your life.
Note that when Paul was praying this prayer for the believers in Ephesus, they were already filled with the Holy Spirit. But Paul still prayed that God would give them a spirit of wisdom and revelation in their knowledge of Jesus.
It is one thing to have the Holy Spirit inside you, but it is another thing to let the Holy Spirit inside you flow as the spirit of wisdom and revelation. And as you pray to be led by the spirit of wisdom today, be confident that you will experience the Holy Spirit leading you in Jesus’ divine and unmatched wisdom.
When the Holy Spirit leads you in the wisdom of Jesus, there will be no impossible situation, no insolvable problem, and no insurmountable crisis. The wisdom of Jesus in you will help you to successfully navigate all your trials and cause you to prevail over all your challenges!
