TOPIC: THERE IS SECOND CHANCE 5: Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Fakunle Emmanuel Week 24, Day 4 Thursday, 16 June, 2022. TOPIC: THERE IS SECOND CHANCE 5:

36 At Joppa there was a certain disciple named  Tabitha, which is translated Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.

37 But it happened in those days that she became sick and died. When they had washed her, they laid her in an upper room. 

38 And since Lydda was near Joppa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was there, they sent two men to him, imploring him not to delay in coming to them. 

39 Then Peter arose and  went with them. When he had come, they brought him to the upper room. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made  while she was with them. 

40 But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up. 

41 Then he gave her his hand and lifted her up; and when he had called the saints and widows, he presented her alive.

How useful are you to people around you? What’s your influence in your work place, home, neighbourhood and your church? In your extended family, are you known as a responsible member of the family? What can people say about you, positive or negative report? Hospitality or stinginess? Do people avoid or love working with you?

Second Chance is ordained by God but carried out by men; human you meet everyday. God will not appear physically, He will use human around you. Everyone who experienced a New Beginning was helped  through a human. So, if you leave a bad influence on whom God has ordained for your lifting, will there be a Second Chance?

Dorcas influenced almost everyone that came around her, the scripture said, 

“This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did.” Acts 9:36.

That simply means, she was good to a lot of people not just the widow. When she died,  you will noticed, everybody had something to contribute for her Second Chance? Those who doesn’t have faith that she can resurrect did the washing of her body, those who were dependent on her for living kept crying of her good deeds. Ministers kept praying for her resurrection. People were ready to travel long distance to call Apostle Peter on her behalf. Apostle Peter was ready to make sure God brings her back to life by sending every forms of distraction away. Until she was back to life everyone was not at rest? If she had negative influence on people and God desire to resurrect her, who would have carried out all these assignments? Can others run around for you to be raised? Can many sacrifice their time, energy and resources to make things okay for you? Serve humanity and your Second Chance will come to pass.

God Bless you and Good Morning.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
