Getting More Than You Expected Acts 3:5-7 “And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.” This lame, invalid of a man got more than he was expecting when he met Peter and John that day at the Temple. He received complete healing of his lameness, He received salvation through Jesus Christ, He was privileged to hear Peter preach, and then he saw 5,000 plus souls come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Saviour. I doubt this man thought he would get all this when he woke up that morning and was carried to the Temple. This reminds me of the truth of Ephesians 3:20 “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”. God is able to give us more than we are praying for! All this man was asking for was some alms, but he got more!! When was there a time in your life when you got more from God than you prayed for?
