Assignment:
1. Read through Acts Chapters 3-5.

2. What miraculous event had caused this stir amongst religious leaders?

This prophecy is still relevant to all churches that are fulfilling scripture in the face of adversity in any part of the world.

5. Paraphrase the apostolic prayer that was triggered through the fulfilment of prophecy.
Something like:
Lord you are the God who made everything, who spoke through David prophetically saying the people plot against Your Son Jesus; together with Herod and Pilate the people came against Your Son as you allowed and as you planned before time to fulfil Your redemption plan. We recognise therefore that in persecuting us, they are persecuting You.
Look at how they threaten us Lord and give us courage to speak Your Word; back us up with Your healing hand and give us miracles to follow up what You tell us to say, so that Jesus can get the credit.

6. Fill in the missing words of this apostolic prayer of the church:
“Look at their threats”
