13 Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated, common men, they were astonished. And they recognized that they had been with Jesus. 14 But seeing the man who was healed standing beside them, they had nothing to say in opposition. 15 But when they had commanded them to leave the council, they conferred with one another,
16 saying, “What shall we do with these men? For that a notable sign has been performed through them is evident to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But in order that it may spread no further among the people, let us warn them to speak no more to anyone in this name.” 18 So they called them and charged them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.
19 But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, 20 for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” 21 And when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people, for all were praising God for what had happened. 22 For the man on whom this sign of healing was performed was more than forty years old.
MFM Daily Devotional for 22nd July 2025 – MESSAGE
David was a prophet and a king. The fact that he was anointed three different times, made him Israel’s greatest king; he never lost any battle and he penned numerous psalms, including the messianic psalm in which he asked, “why do the heathen rage?”
The heathens are unbelievers; those who have not come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. They are on the enemy’s side and are instrument in the hand of their master, the devil. They perpetrate satan’s agenda: to steal, to kill and to destroy. They oppose and seek to frustrate the purpose, work and people of God. Goliath and the Philistine army were the heathen who raged the Israelites and sought to overthrow them. God used David to defeat the enemies of His children.
Our fire scripture today is an interesting account of the exploits Peter and John began to do after they had received the baptism of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. Peter had made a man lame from his mother’s womb and who asked alms at the temple to walk. When the man received his miracle, he entered the temple for the first time, jubilating. Besides, the miracle attracted a large number of people to Peter and John. Peter preached testifying the awesome power of Jesus Christ and won 5000 souls for the Lord, that same day. This infuriated the priests, captains of the temple and the Sadducees who arrested and locked up the two Apostles.
When the rulers interrogated Peter and John demanding that they say the power by which they performed the miracle, Peter said it was by the name of Jesus Christ, whom they crucified. This further enraged them and they took counsel among themselves saying, “what shall we do to these men? For that indeed a notable miracle had been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.” The council decided to stop further spread of the miracle working power. So they threatened Peter and John and commanded them never to speak or teach anymore in the name of Jesus. To this, Peter said, “it is better to obey God than man.”
Often, the enemy rages when the children of God are committed to their divine assignment and their ways please heaven, as was the case with Peter and John, Nehemiah and his comrades who took up the project of rebuilding Jerusalem. The goal of the enemy is to discourage and frustrate the saints. What should you do when the enemy rages? Borrow a leaf from Peter and John who went to their company and prayed and the Holy Spirit came and emboldened them.
Also, take a cue from Nehemiah who also prayed and foiled the wiles of his distracters. When you pray and stay committed to the cause of heaven, the Spirit of God will lift up a standard against the enemy and the One that sits in heaven shall disgrace him, in Jesus name. May the Lord arise and quench every rage of darkness against you, in the name of Jesus.
