Acts 12v5 says;
“Peter was therefore kept in
prison, but the constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church”
The early verse of Acts 12
records that Herod earlier apprehended James which he killed assuming or seeing
that it pleased his people because there was no opposition to his act. He
therefore thought it wise to go another step further to apprehend Peter which
he did, thinking he will succeed eliminating him again but the Church woke-up
to their responsibility and prayed to God on his behalf. The early church would
have fizzled out if they have kept mute.
Friends you will agree with
me that the place of prayers by the church for all our brethren in the
household of God cannot be over emphasized because if they had engage this same
fervent prayer when James was arrested, he wouldn’t have been killed. Please
just go ahead and pray for the body of Christ and her leaders.
The church today needs to
rise up to this very critical responsibility to save many from the jaws of this
fake lion (the devil). The prayer of the called out caught Gods’ attention and
He sent an Angel to go and release that man. That is why I am confidently
saying that as many that are imprisoned, be released in JESUS NAME, AMEN!
