Morning with Ebenezer

MEN AND WOMEN WHO WALKED WITH THE LORD

Peter sent them all out of the room; then he got down on his knees and prayed. Turning toward the dead woman, he said, “Tabitha, get up.” She opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up. He took her by the hand and helped her to her feet. Then he called for the believers, especially the widows, and presented her to them alive.  This became known all over Joppa, and many people believed in the Lord.

Acts 9:40-42 NIV

In the Bible there are different accounts of men and women who walked with the Lord in the past. In the chapter 9 of the Book of Acts we read the story of Thabita who was known as Docras in Greek. She was the disciple of Jesus Christ who did good deeds and helped the poor. There was a day she became sick and died, people in her hometown sent men to call Apostle Peter who was in a nearby town.

Docras was helping the widows and when Peter came they showed him the robes and other clothing that she made while she was still with them. This shows how Docras was a God fearing woman during her life; she respected everyone and cared about the weak groups in the community. People wanted Docras to continue to live because they saw God operating through her.

After Peter sent all the people out of the room which they placed her body; then he got on his knees and prayed. Peter was a man of prayer, He saw the Lord Jesus Christ in the days of His flesh the way He prayed before everything and He learnt from Him. The Lord answered the prayer of Peter, and Docras opened her eyes, and seeing Peter she sat up.

This morning, I just want you to know that is not too late for you to start walking with the Lord in your life. You can walk in the same anointing which the men and women of the first church had. It is possible for you to be a prayer warrior, a man or woman who will be so close to God and understand Him in higher levels.

It is possible for you to hear the voice of Holy Spirit and walk with Him in your life. God manifested Himself through many generations before us to all people who committed themselves fully to Him. I believe is about to show Himself powerful to the men and women in our generation. I believe God is going to walk with you if you will seek His face and obey His commandments.
