Wait for Your Miracle
Rev. Tetteh-Annor Larbi | February 15 2025 | Acts 4:18-24
KEY VERSE: For the man who was miraculously healed was over forty years old. Acts 4:22 (NIV)
MESSAGE: The man healed at the temple gate had been lame for over forty years. He had spent a lifetime in that condition, likely wondering if his situation would ever change. Yet, in God’s perfect timing, his miracle came through Peter and John. His long season of waiting was not in vain—when his healing finally came, it was a testimony to everyone around him. Sometimes, God’s miracles take time, but His delays are never denials.
Waiting for a breakthrough can be challenging. We often desire immediate answers, but God acts according to His divine plan. The lame man likely prayed for healing for years, yet God intervened only at that moment. The miracle transformed his life and resulted in a powerful testimony, demonstrating that God's timing always serves a greater purpose than we can perceive. During this waiting period, particularly when you have waited so long, you encounter numerous suggestions for quick solutions to your problem. Pressure from all sides will urge you to make hasty decisions to find a resolution, but resist the temptation to rush.
If you are awaiting your miracle, do not lose heart. God sees your need, and He is working behind the scenes. Just as the healing of the lame man became a testimony to many, your breakthrough will glorify God in ways beyond your imagination. Keep trusting, keep believing, and know that God’s plan is unfolding in His perfect timing.
FEET AND HANDS FOR THE MESSAGE:
What miracle are you believing God for? Have you waited a long time to see it happen? Don’t lose heart. Just find His will and trust His word to come through for you. You are closer to your miracle than you know.
PRAYER:
Lord, help me to trust Your timing, even when my miracle seems delayed. Strengthen my faith as I wait, and let my testimony bring glory to You. I believe what You have planned for me will pass at the right moment. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING.
SHOWERS! BLESSINGS!!

DAILY word study: HEALED
The Greek word for healed in Acts 4:22 is "iaomi" (ἰάομαι), which means "to cure, restore, or make whole." It conveys a sense of complete physical and spiritual healing.
The healing of the lame man was more than just a physical restoration; it was a divine act that demonstrated Jesus’ authority and the power of faith in His name. This miracle affirmed God’s timing, proving that healing is not always instant but arrives in God’s perfect moment for His glory. True healing in Scripture often leads to transformation—both for the individual and for those who witness it.
Reflection: Are you seeking healing or a breakthrough? God’s power to heal is not constrained by time or circumstance. Trust in His perfect plan and believe that your testimony is in the making.
