For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.Eph 2:9 |

| Archived Manna: | |
Dear
Friend,
If you do not already have a habit of gathering daily manna the first thing in the morning (we can look at the example given to us in Exodus 16 and find the pattern for make it a habit. Establish your life and your schedule to allow you the necessary time to do your daily collection first thing every morning to give you the strength to make it through the day. And remember that today’s manna will not be sufficient for tomorrow; tomorrow’s manna must be collected tomorrow morning. Wednesday, September 25, 2024
Today's Passage : Today's Passage :Prediction of Famine Bible Verse:Acts 11:27-30 (ESV) "Now in these days prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. And one of them named Agabus stood up and foretold by the Spirit that there would be a great famine over all the world (this took place in the days of Claudius). So the disciples determined, every one according to his ability, to send relief to the brothers and sisters living in Judea. And they did so, sending it to the elders by the hand of Barnabas and Saul." Message:
Agabus is very likely one of the seventy disciples mentioned in Luke 9:1-6 and was known as “Agabus the Prophet”. There was, in fact, a terrible famine in Judea during the reign of Emperor Claudius, sometime around 45 A.D., about 15 years after the death of Christ. The event was recorded in numerous Roman histories.
The chronology of Acts after the death of Stephen is jumbled up and a bit misleading, because the events are compressed in time. Stephen’s death occurred in 35 A.D., about five years after Christ died. Peter’s first mission, to Gaza or Sinai, began a full year later. Saul’s conversion occurred the following year (37 A.D.), and Peter’s mission to Samaria, and his conversion of Cornelius, around 38 A.D.
Paul (Saul) went to Tarsus in 39 A.D. Barnabas did not travel to Antioch until 43 A.D., where he stayed for about a year. Between the two events, the infamous Roman Emperor Caligula was murdered and Claudius was reluctantly made Emperor by popular acclaim (41 A.D.); Herod Agrippa became the King of Judea around this time.
So Agabus' accurate prediction of famine actually was made roughly one or two years before the historical famine in Judea.
Meditation : Prayer : Be merciful, O Lord, to those who have entrusted me, an unworthy sinner, to pray for them. Be merciful, O Lord, to all who ask Your help. O Lord, make this day a day of Your mercy; give to each according to their petition. Be the Shepherd of the lost, the Guide of Light of unbelievers, the Teacher of the unwise, the Father of orphans, the Helper of the oppressed, the Healer of the sick, the Comforter of the dying, and lead us all to the desired end — to You, our refuge and blessed repose. Thus I pray, in the name of Christ,..........Amen |
