Rev. Tetteh-Annor Larbi | June 2 2025 | Acts 9:32-35

KEY VERSE: “All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord." Acts 9:35 (NIV)

MESSAGE:

The miraculous healing of Aeneas was not just a sign of God’s compassion but a powerful testimony of His authority and power. Miracles performed in the name of Jesus are not just acts of kindness but signs that point to the glory of God and the truth of the gospel. They cause people to wonder and believe in the power of Jesus to save.

When God works miracles in our lives, they serve as testimonies to His power. They can lead others to faith, and they should inspire us to share the gospel with others. God uses signs and wonders to open hearts and minds to His message of salvation.

God’s word assures us that the signs and wonders shall follow those who believe in the gospel, which includes you. Many today have turned the tables and are instead chasing after signs and wonders. The greatest sign and wonder is salvation, after which more signs and wonders will follow us. Pray for boldness in sharing the gospel.

FEET AND HANDS FOR THE MESSAGE:

Don’t chase after signs and wonders, chase after God and see how signs and wonders will follow you. Remember you were saved and called into signs and wonders.

PRAYER:

Lord, use Your miracles in my life to testify to Your power. Help me to point others to You and share the good news of Your salvation with all I meet. For your dear name’s sake. Amen.

THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING.

SHOWERS! BLESSINGS!!

The 365 DAILY BIBLE READING Day 153: 1 Samuel 15 — Saul Rejected as King

DAILY word study: TURNED The Greek word translated “turned” in Acts 9:35 is epistrephō, meaning “to turn back,” “return,” or “convert.” It implies a decisive shift—turning away from one path and choosing another, especially turning to God in faith.

When the people of Lydda and Sharon saw Aeneas healed, they didn’t just marvel—they turned to the Lord. That turning wasn’t passive; it was a deep, conscious response to what they witnessed. Signs and wonders carry the weight of calling people into repentance, faith, and relationship.

Reflection:

What has God done in your life that others might see and turn? Your story could be someone else’s reason to believe.
