“But Peter put them all out, and knelt down and prayed. And turning to the body he said, “Tabitha, arise.” And she opened her eyes, and when she saw Peter she sat up.” (

The scripture in Acts 9 speaks of a disciple at Joppa named Dorcas. She was known to
be full of good works and charitable deeds. (Acts‬

“Disciples of today must follow that pattern.”

Epictetus, the Greek Stoic philosopher said, “Be careful whom you associate with. It is
human to imitate the habits of those with whom we interact. We inadvertently adopt their
interests, their opinions, their values, and their habit of interpreting events.” This is in
sync with the scriptures. Apostle Paul taught that we should not be unequally yoked with
unbelievers, also warning that evil association will corrupt good morals. This still holds
today. The disciples associated with Jesus and picked up His mission and method.
Disciples of today must follow that pattern. Imagine what the world would be if all who
profess Christ imitate His habits!
