Prayer before the Word:

TODAY’S TOPIC: God of amazing Grace
Text: Acts 28:1-10 (NIV):
"28:1 Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta.
28:2 The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold.
28:3 Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand.
28:4 When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, "This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, Justice has not allowed him to live."
28:5 But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
28:6 The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead, but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.
28:7 There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and for three days entertained us hospitably.
28:8 His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him.
28:9 When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured.
28:10 They honored us in many ways and when we were ready to sail, they furnished us with the supplies we needed."
*SHOWER:*
God of amazing Grace will never allow His people to labour in vain or cry in pain. He knows our desires and wants, and will keep supplying them accordingly. You can see how Paul and other apostles successfully landed to shore. God who knew they would definitely need fire assembled one through Islanders. He used them to provide hospitality to His people. A miracle of pushing and killing a viper was followed immediately; then warm reception and healing... Isn't our God wonderful? If you believe, cheer up and present Your matter to Him. Then, embark on that journey, that evangelism, visits and so on. He will make way for you where there seemed to be noway.
