TOPIC: CHEER UP, HELP IS ON THE WAY!

TEXT: Acts 9:32-35

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.

INTRODUCTION TEXT

In our text today, we see Aeneas who was bedridden for eight years and was paralysed. He got healed instantly through the prayer of Peter. Imagine how this man must have felt those eight years of helplessness. This was the case with blind Bartimaeus until he encountered Jesus and was asked to cheer up (Mark 10:46-52). Certainly, Aeneas could not have been a cheerful man during the years of his paralysis. He may not have thought help was on the way either! Observe that it was during Peter's visit to the saints in Lydda that he found Aeneas and prayed for his healing (vv. 32-34). Notice too that his healing brought salvation to many who were living in that town (v.35).

Beloved, let us not give up when we pass through all kinds of trouble. At God's own time when we least expect, He will visit us to take away that reproach. Be encouraged because when God attends to that affliction in your life, your testimony will bring hope to others and turn them to Christ. Cheer up! Help is on the way!

Prayer: Father, I patiently wait for Your divine visitation which is never too late, in Jesus' name. Amen.
