God allowed Paul and Silas to be cast into the prison so that He will be glorified there. He wanted the prisoners to hear the message that will set them free from the bondage of sin. Because Jesus was anointed to preach deliverance to the captives, His disciples should do the same. By their prayer and songs of praise, Paul and Silas announced the power of the Almighty God, and every one's bands were loosed.

Since you do not know when your time on earth will expire, "see then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil" - Ephesians 5:15,16. It is only a few people, like one of the thieves on the cross that may have an opportunity to make their ways right with God, just before death. Most people die either accidentally or in their sleep, taken away unexpectedly.

Beloved, do not give place to the devil to reign over you. It is what you allow that will eventually have dominion over you. The devil will always come to you with evil suggestions, but he cannot invade your life until you let him in. Eve was deceived and overcome because she engaged the devil in a conversation instead of resisting him. Be watchful and prayerful so you won't be deceived.

Many are being deceived to take pleasure in committing secret sin, not knowing that those who have gone before them are already in the depths of hell. Be not deceived, even your evil thoughts are loud enough in the ears of the Lord and they are punishable by Him except you repent. Be warned and endeavour to live your life before the Lord rather than before men. 

The believers in the early Church exhibited true love and selflessness. Many of them sold their houses and lands and brought the proceeds for distribution to the brethren according to their need. These believers were not forced to give: there was no announcement given to that effect but as they saw the need among them, they responded by giving liberally to meet those needs.
