Soap Devotion
John 6, Acts 9,10

Scripture
Acts 10:44-46

While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit came on all who heard the message. The circumcised believers who had come with Peter were astonished that the gift of Holy Spirit had been poured out even on the Gentiles. For they heard them speaking in tongues and praising God.

Observation

Actually, the whole of Acts 10 is talking about how two very different man get to know each other through God. Cornelius was a Roman, which meant that he represent the absoulte opposite of Jewsish culture and religion. A good Jew could never enter the house of Roman and so on. Believers who had come with Peter were shocked by the fact that even the Holy Spirit can
fill the Gentiles.

Application

As I was dong this devotion, so many things spoke to me. Even a person like Cornelius, who probably is the least likely person to be converted into Christian, so faithfully prayed and believed. Who else cant the Lord moved and convert in our modern soceity. This just
made me think of the people in the flemington community where the Pita Bread bunch served the Lord every week. There were muslim, Hindus and many other people with different race and religion. The Lord can surely touched their heart through people serving. For my family, I used to think that it is impossible to bring God into their life. My mother is a very devoted
buddist, and my family is quite supersitious. But right now, I just felt God telling me to take things slowly and he will show me what to do, nothing is impossible.

Prayer

Father, I want to thank you for today, thank you for what you had been doing in my life. Lord, I thank you for being by my side each and everyday. Lord, thank you for the passage. Lord, at times we may think that things, people are impossible to change but Lord with you around, everything is possible. Lord, I just want to uplift my family to you, uplift the people in the
flemington community to you father. Father I just pray that one day, they will come to know you. They will also not only come to know you father, they will come to seek you, seek you for more meaningful things to do in life. Seek you for life, rather than for money and earthly belongs. Father, I just pray for strength and stronger faith in all the things that we are doing.
Pray all these in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
