Cornelius

My devotion for  tonight is in Acts 10:1-8

I was blessed with a man named Cornelius.  He showed an exemplary character of  what a true believer of Christ should be.   Here are his good examples:

• He and his family are God fearing
• Devout to the work of the Lord
• Giver to the needy
• He prayed to God regulary

The characteristics of Cornelius showed his genuine relationship with God.  His closeness to God led him to  greater things:

• Cornelius prayers and gifts to the poor became a memorial offering before God.
• Cornelius became God's instrument in spreading the Word of God to the gentiles. 

 MESSAGE:
1. God does not look on the nationality and status of life of a person to do greater works. He looks at how a person do things that pleases Him.
PROMISE:
God remembers our prayers and act of worship to Him.
COMMAND:
No specified commands, but I should stick to the examples of Cornelius to be God fearing, faithful to the work of the Lord, generous and prays regularly.
WARNING:
No specified warning.
APPLICATION:
I was blessed and challenged by the examples of Cornelius.  I will pray to God that like Cornelius,
-I will teach my children and my whole family to be God fearing.
-I will be faithful to the work of the Lord.
-I will continue to be a channel of His blessings to those people who are in need.
-I will commune to God daily
