But Peter said, "I have no silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk!" Acts 3:6
This person used to sit at the beautiful gate, but had lost all the beauty of his life. He was actually sitting at the Beautiful Gate of the temple of God, everyone carried him till the gate, but no one helped him inside. Many times our friends and relatives can bring us to the beautiful gate, but it actually doesn't help us. It only makes us dependent on people. It makes us like a beggar. This beggar's friends and relatives got him to the gate, but no one might have told him, that your life can change. No one might have told him that his future can be good. No one might have thought that this beggar needs encouragement. No one thought that this beggars life can be changed. Everyone had written him off. They might have thought, what can this beggar do apart from begging.
Only if he had one true friend, who would have told him to come inside the temple and meet God, who can do miracles. One word of hope or one word of encouragement would have made the difference. We generally think our words wouldn't matter. But the truth is one word of yours actually does matter, for an encouragement or discouragement. Use your words to encourage people around you. You never know to whom its making a difference. The people will not encourage others, because they themselves have not seen miracles. Some are there, who don't believe even if one of their true friends tell them to come inside the temple and get their miracle. Many put this statement down, considering it as false, about miracles still happening. Miracles has not stopped. Miracles still happen in the name of Jesus. I have seen lame walk, deaf hear and many people who were almost about to die being healed, when I had prayed for them in Jesus' name.
The beggar was sitting outside, waiting for alms to fall in his kitty. It was his daily routine. But something different happened this day. 2 disciples of Jesus, who were simple human beings like us, but had seen miracles and believed, miracles can still happen, were entering the temple. The beggar asked for alms, but the 2 disciples of Jesus, Peter and John had different thing to offer. They said, "Silver and Gold we don't have, but what we have we will give you." They had hope, they had faith, they had miracles which they believed, thats what they gave the beggar. What do you have to offer to your family and friends? Are you like the beggars friends dropping him only till the temple gate to beg, or are you like the disciples of Jesus who want them to rise up and walk. Refer your friends for the daily word which I share. Take them along with you to a bible based church, so they can see miracles and glorify God.
