FUEL For Your FAITH

The story of Tabitha’s resurrection is extraordinary. Peter prayed, and God raised her back to life. This miracle reminds us that the Christian life is not about what we can do in our strength, but about what God can do through surrendered lives. Peter was simply a vessel for God’s power. He prayed, obeyed, and trusted — and God moved. We may never raise someone from the dead, but God still wants to display His power through us today. Sometimes it’s through offering hope to the hopeless, encouragement to the weary, or sharing the gospel with someone searching for truth. Every act of obedience opens the door for God’s power to flow through us. The challenge is whether we will make ourselves available. God uses ordinary people who are willing to trust Him in extraordinary ways. When we pray in faith, act in obedience, and give Him the glory, He does immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 12:9 - And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you...

In Acts 9, Tabitha dies, and the disciples send for Peter. Why? Because Peter had developed a reputation as a man of God who walked closely with Jesus. His consistency in living a Spirit-empowered life had become known to others. They believed that if Peter came, God might work through him. As believers, our reputation matters. We are called to live in such a way that others recognize Christ in us. This doesn’t mean living perfectly, but it does mean living authentically. Over time, consistent faithfulness builds trust and credibility. People are drawn to lives marked by integrity, humility, and Spirit-filled service. The truth is, all of us are developing a reputation — whether we realize it or not. The question is: what are we known for? Are we known for our complaints and inconsistencies, or for our love, joy, and faithfulness to God? Our reputation can either draw people to Jesus or push them away. Scripture: Philippians 1:27 - Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gos...

When Peter healed Aeneas, he didn’t claim credit for the miracle. Instead, he said, “Jesus Christ heals you.” This short statement reveals the heart of Spirit-led ministry: it always points people back to Jesus. In a culture obsessed with recognition and personal achievement, Peter models humility. He understood that the power to heal, serve, or minister does not come from us but from Christ working through us. As Christians, it’s easy to slip into self-reliance or even pride. We may want to be noticed for our good works or think ministry success comes from our talents. But true fruitfulness comes when we exalt Jesus above all else. When we give Him the glory, people are drawn not to us, but to the Savior. This matters because our lives are meant to reflect Christ, not ourselves. The more we exalt Him, the more others are led to worship the One who truly deserves it. Scripture: 1 Peter 2:9 - But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for God's own poss...
