"One day Peter and John were going up to the temple at the time of prayer—at three in the afternoon. Now a man who was lame from birth was being carried to the temple gate called Beautiful, where he was put every day to beg from those going into the temple courts. When he saw Peter and John about to enter, he asked them for money. Peter looked straight at him, as did John. Then Peter said, Look at us! So the man gave them his attention, expecting to get something from them" (Acts 3:1-5, NIV). OMG! Whenever I come across this verses of the Scripture I am always challenged. This man is recorded and known to be someone who was lame from birth. In other words, that situation in his life became a trademark for him. That was his own label put on him by society.

I do not know exactly what you are currently passing through. What I do know is that a life transforming encounter with the power of God is possible. What I do know is that when my LORD Jesus Christ comes into that situation that label that society has given you will automatically change for good. What I do know is that with my God all things are possible in your life. What I do know is that as you come to my God today every thing about your life will take on a new meaning and people will see you and shout ehe! As the lame man encountered Jesus, he regained strength in his feet and jumped up and began to praise my God. As the man hitherto considered lame and useless by society encountered my LORD Jesus Christ his story changed and everyone marveled! It is your turn today please, do not let this opportunity pass you by. My LORD Jesus Christ is passing by people and...
