PETER WENT UP ON THE HOUSETOP TO PRAY
EDIFICATION DAILY DEVOTIONAL WEDNESDAY, 11 NOVEMBER 2026
In this passage of the Bible, we could see how God works or operates.
If God has sent you on an errand, He would have gone ahead of you to get the person or people you are sent to prepared to receive you as regards what you are sent there to do.
God, who through an angel told Cornelius to send for Peter, had gone ahead of Cornelius' men to prepare Peter's heart to receive them, through a trance and the conviction of the Holy Spirit on the inside of him (Acts 10:9-23).
A similar incident or situation was seen in the case of Saul the king in the Old Testament, when God told Samuel the prophet that the person who would be appointed the king of His people, Israel, would be sent to him the next day (1 Samuel 9:15-17).
God did allow Saul and his servant to wander to the town where Samuel resides, and Saul's servant suggested to him that they should go and see the prophet who resides in the town, that is, Samuel, and they both agreed. Remember, God had earlier told Samuel that the Israelites' king elect would be sent the next day and God did orchestrate the meeting of Samuel and Saul (1 Samuel 9:15-24).
Now, if God has instructed you to go somewhere, or go and meet someone; be sure that He would not send you to a place or someone without going ahead of you to prepare the ground, the heart of the person(s) you are going to meet at the place.
Thus, if you are genuinely sent out by God, know that God would have gone ahead of you to get things ready for you that you might be received there as He has told you.
Do not hesitate to go, even if you have not been to the place before and you are not known to the person or people you are sent to, God would have prepared all the necessary arrangements for you to be received and get your mission accomplished.
Thus, do not be afraid nor hesitate to go, God is faithful, He will not let you down.
"God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?" — Numbers 23:19 (NKJV)
Today, ask yourself: Do you make deliberate room for prayer, or do you leave it until everything else is done? Can you set aside a specific time or place where you can seek God more consistently?
Peace.
