Overcoming Hidden Deformity!

INSPIRE Devotionals With Emmanuel Afiawari Wednesday, February 25, 2026 Topic: OVERCOMING HIDDEN DEFORMITY! Memory Verse: "‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭So he, leaping up, stood and walked and entered the temple with them—walking, leaping, and praising God" - Acts 3:8 NKJV‬‬ Bible Text: ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭ ‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭‭Acts 3:7 NKJV‬‬ 7. ‭‭And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. INSPIRATION: Some kind of deformity put you in positions of helplessness; others keep you in perpetual need, while yet another kind takes away your value and self-abilities. Some deformities are so subtle in nature, you'd hardly notice they exist. But a careful look reveals how so deprived, depraved and unfulfilled someone with deformities can be. A deformed person cannot 'rise up;' they're always in a position where their strengths and potentials are undermined. So Peter would say to this man, "Rise up and walk!" I speak to everything that has kept you down from rising or being active, I rebuke the spirit behind your deformed status, rise up now! Rise! Take your rightful place and begin to be progressively productive. We arrest every spirit of fear and incapacitation in the name of Jesus. Receive strength and grace to do what has been impossible in your life; receive strength where you've been feeble; rise to a new order of manifestation in Jesus name. TODAY'S TAKE HOME: Not all deformities are physical in nature but they leave damaging physical effects nonetheless. So deal with it now! PRAYER: Dear Lord, I need your help to identify and address my deformities before they cripple and shipwreck my destiny. Strengthen my feebleness and make me to rise up from every debased place my deformities have put me in, in Jesus name.
