KEY VERSE: “THE NIGHT BEFORE HEROD WAS TO BRING HIM TO TRIAL, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.” Acts 12:6 (NIV)

MESSAGE:

One of the amazing truths about the God we serve is that He is always on time to save us and deliver us from the hands of our enemies, adversaries, and detractors. We saw how he delivered Mordecai from Haman’s gallows, the 3 Hebrew youths from King Nebuchadnezzar’s fiery furnace and Daniel from the den of lions. Even earlier in the Acts of the Apostles, we saw how he sent his angel at night to open the prison gates and set free Peter, James and John (Acts 5:19).

In this story of Peter’s arrest, the ALWAYS-ON-TIME God once again sent his angel to go and set Peter free. By the Lord’s move, THE NIGHT BEFORE HEROD WAS TO BRING PETER TO TRIAL. He nullified the wicked plot and scheme of both Herod and the wicked Jewish leaders. When they woke up in the morning, their prisoner was nowhere to be found.

I want to assure you that the Lord has a plan for you. You were born with a specific divine assignment. Until you have completed that assignment, no power on earth or in hell can take you out of this world. As the Lord promised, he will fulfil the number of your years. You shall accomplish what has been written in God’s book concerning YOU before you die. Therefore, do not be afraid. Hear the word of the Lord: “Your enemies will be clothed in shame, and the tents of the wicked will be no more” (Job 8:22). The Lord your God is always on time to deliver you. Trust him. He will never be late.

FEET AND HANDS FOR THE MESSAGE:

What is happening to you which gives you the fear that you will die prematurely or someone will kill you before your time? Do not be afraid. Have the same attitude as the Psalmist who wrote, “My times are in your hands; deliver me from my enemies and from those who pursue me” (Psalms 31:15). Put your faith and trust in God.

PRAYER:

Lord Jesus, I thank you that you are always on time to deliver and save me from my enemies. I put my trust in you, Lord. Never let my enemy triumph over me. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen!

THERE SHALL BE SHOWERS OF BLESSING.

SHOWERS! BLESSINGS!!

The 365 DAILY BIBLE READING Day 188: 2 Samuel 22 — David’s Song of Praise

DAILY word study: BOUND

The Greek word for “bound” is deo (δέω), which means to tie, bind, or fasten with chains. It reflects physical restraint but can also imply spiritual or emotional confinement.

Even though Peter was bound, God’s power wasn’t. Chains held his body, but not his destiny. This shows us that divine purpose is never subject to human limitation.

Reflect on this:

When you feel stuck or limited, remember that no earthly chain can stop what God has planned for you.
