BIBLE TEXT: Acts 9:32-43
32. And it came to pass, as Peter passed throughout all quarters, he came down also to the saints which dwelt at Lydda.
33. And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy.
34. And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole; arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately.
35. And all that dwelt at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to the Lord.
36. Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas; this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.
37. And it came to pass in those days, that she was sick, and died; whom when they had washed, they laid her in an upper chamber.
38. And forasmuch as Lydda was nigh to Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent unto him two men, desiring him that he would not delay to come to them.
39. Then Peter arose and went with them. When he was come, they brought him into the upper chamber; and all the widows stood by him weeping, and shewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made, while she was with them.
40. But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes; and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
41. And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up, and when he had called the saints and widows, presented her alive.
42. And it was known throughout all Joppa; and many believed in the Lord.
43. And it came to pass, that he tarried many days in Joppa with one Simon a tanner.
KEY VERSE: Acts 9:40
But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up.
DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY
The story was told of a pastor that came from an all-night prayer vigil to meet his wife crying. Their first son was dead. He comforted her and laid the son on his bed and encouraged her to go to the Sunday service. After preaching and counselling, they both came home to meet neighbours gathered at their front gate. The neighbours accused them of not being considerate as the boy had been crying for the mother. God still raises the dead today!

Aeneas of Lydda was hopelessly infirm for eight years. Peter declared unto him, “Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed”. Immediately, he arose and the people of Lydda and Saron saw this miracle and believed the Lord. After that, Peter was called to Joppa where Dorcas had just died.

The widows wept and showed to Peter, the coats and garments she made for them while she was alive. He followed the example of the Lord. He called them out of the room, prayed and declared, “Tabitha, arise”. She arose and this also turned many to the Lord.
Aeneas’s great disease needed a great cure. He could not help himself neither could his friends and physicians. In like manner, sin, the soul sickness, is incurable with no soul physician but Calvary and no balm but the Saviour’s wounds. Looking for solution elsewhere will dissipate much energy to no avail. No matter the gravity of the situation, Jesus remains the same yesterday, today and forever. There is still miracle for you only if you will call on Him today!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Miracles still happen today.
