TOPIC: God Has No Favourites
READ: Acts 10:34-38 (NKJV)
- Then Peter opened [his] mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality.
- “But in every nation whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.
- “The word which [God] sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ — He is Lord of all —
- “that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached:
- “how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.
THE MESSAGE:
The statement of Apostle Peter in today’s meditation shows the new dispensation of salvation revealed to all peoples, whether Jew or Greek, slave or free, male or female. As Apostle Paul states in Galatians 3:24,”The law was put in charge to lead us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith.” For Peter, it took some time before he could be convinced that the salvation message was for all and that God was not partial.
It took a vision from God (Acts 10:9-16) and the subsequent events that led him to the house of Cornelius, for him to realise that the Gentile world is part of God’s salvation plan. The great event that occurred on the cross of Calvary is open to all who draw near to God. The gospel is still available today for everyone who sincerely calls on the name of Jesus and seeks to know Him. Dear friend, God sees and knows of your faithful walk with him. He sees your strivings in prayer, the Word, and in good works. He is not partial and will not withhold his blessings from those who diligently seek him.
Your labour of love will never be in vain (Hebrews 13:16). He has no favourites, but honours all who honour Him.
PRAYER: Lord, thank you for the gift of salvation;help me to diligentlyseek you and to spread your Word everywhere Igo, Amen!
