If you had to choose between silver and gold, which of these two materials would you prefer?
Some may choose gold, while others will say silver.
One thing we can all agree on is that both are valuable. I am sure if you were offered gold, you would accept it; likewise, you would also accept silver. In times like these, no one refuses something of value, whether great or small.
A man in the Bible had a problem with his legs, and he used to ask for financial help daily.
During the time that he did this, he received help here and there, but he was still helpless and couldn’t walk. There came a day, however, that his life changed—when he got what was needed instead of what he wanted! Look at his story:
Then Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have, but what I do have I give you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk. (Acts 3:6)
Clearly, he was looking for temporary help (some money) when, in reality, he needed more than that! And that’s why Peter said, “Silver and gold I do not have.”
Let us reason: How many people helped him before with coins, but he was still in the same position? He needed something more valuable than coins. He needed faith that could change his entire life. He got what he needed, and look what happened:
And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. (Acts 3:7)
He received the gift of faith. His body was restored, and I believe he could then go and get employment or, better yet, start his own business.
Today is your day! This post is the strength to help you and guide you to the path of faith that will lead you to true independence. Instead of merely getting what you want, you can accomplish everything you ever needed!
This is the Power of Faith. Use it and experience the great blessings promised in the Word of God.
Your faith in action can grant you much more than just silver and gold. Can you imagine December as the greatest month yet?
May the God of the Bible bless you!
Bishop Bira Joshua
