THE LAMP DEVOTION

Acts 10:34-38
34 Then Peter opened his mouth and said: “In truth I perceive that God shows no partiality. 35 But in every nation, whoever fears Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him. 36 The word which God sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace through Jesus Christ—He is Lord of all— 37 that word you know, which was proclaimed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee after the baptism which John preached: 38 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.

This was a statement Peter made after salvation came to the house of Cornelius. Peter was shocked that though Cornelius was a Gentile, he got saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. In Peter’s mind, every godly thing must belong to the Jewish people.
The people of today who think Christianity is a foreign religion missed the point. There is nothing God said or revealed in His dealings with man that is restricted to the children of Israel. There are peculiarities that only God can explain, but Jehovah is the God of all flesh and all flesh qualify to receive God’s free salvation.
Jesus did not come for only a section of humanity. He could have been born to a Chinese family, an African family, or an American family and that may not make much of a difference. He had to come as a Man and not as a spirit. It’s therefore wrong to think that the new way of life He brought was Jewish. Love is not restricted to Jews only. Remember Jesus said, ‘God so loved the world” and NOT “God so loved the Jews”
We must increase our commitment to taking the whole gospel to our world. Jesus is waiting to save them too.

Prayer
1. Thank God for the great work of salvation Jesus completed at Calvary for humanity.
2. Pray for a greater commitment to evangelize and win the world for Jesus.
3. Father, please revive in me the passion for sharing the gospel with my world.

Declarations
I am privileged to be a child of God saved by grace. This gospel still has the power to save the lost. I renew my commitment to sharing the gospel with my world. I do this in season and out of season and I declare by the power of the Holy Ghost that nothing shall come between me and the sharing of the gospel in the name of Jesus.
