DON'T BE AFRAID OF THEIR THREAT



But that it spreads no further among the people, let us straitly threaten them, that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. Acts 4:17

There are people who live relatively free from persecution even though they may have experienced some mockery, ridicule or ostracism because of their beliefs. One thing we must never do is to fear punishment or death, although some Christians elsewhere in the world are killed for their faith. From the scriptural text, we noticed that Peter and John were threatened for proclaiming the gospel, but here is their response in Acts 4:20; "Do you think God wants us to obey you rather than Him? We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard". (NLT)

Our goal as believers is to become unshakable in our faith. Peter and John didn't flinch from their responsibility to proclaim salvation in Jesus name even in the face of imprisonment and threats. Yet, in reading this account, we may wonder how we could ever endure persecution and not give up. The truth is that by ourselves we can't do it, but we are never alone. When we stand for our convictions, the Holy Spirit is always there to give us the physical, spiritual, mental and moral strength to stand firm when we are tested and tried. Refuse to be afraid. In that office stand for righteousness, in that organization, school, in your family, stand for truth. No matter the persecution and threats, never compromise your faith. The Lord will empower you today to stand for that which is upright in Jesus name.

FURTHER STUDIES: Esther 1:5, Luke 12:11-12

SUNDAY 14TH JULY BORN FOR DOMINION Then God said, let us make man in our image, according to our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. (Genesis 1:26). When God made man, He gave man dominion over everything on earth. To have an idea of the kind of dominion that man would have had if he had not sinned, let's look at the perfect man Jesus Christ. When Jesus wanted to pay the temple tax, He only needed to command a miracle money into a fish and sent his discipline to get it ( Matthew 17:24-27). When He wanted to feed the multitude, He only needed to multiply five loaves of bread and two fishes in His hands(Mark 6:34-44) and many other miracles Jesus did, manifesting His dominion on earth. He even brought the dead back to life because He had dominion over death. Child of God, you can walk in the same dominion Christ walked while on e...

THE POWER OF FASTING AND PRAYER 2 DOING THE IMPOSSIBLE!

 "But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting". You may not know what the future holds and that is the more reason why you should hold unto the one who holds the future. God knows what lies ahead of us this year and as we connect with him through prayer and fasting he empowers us to overcome, prevail and win over every battle, challenges and attacks of the enemy that may come our way. From the Scripture above tells us about the response of Jesus to his disciples when they were faced with an impossible situation that has to do with a man whose son was sick. The disciples tried all they could but their efforts to heal the young man was not fruitful. When Jesus showed up, the seemingly impossible situation became possible. Jesus was able to heal the man's son. So the disciples were amazed and they asked Jesus why they couldn't do it.  I declare: May Jesus shows up in your marriage, shows up in your finances, family in the name of Jesus. Where your strength...

KEEP YOUR SECRET.

                                  Saul replied, “He assured us that the donkeys had been found”. But he did not tell his uncle what Samuel had said about the kingship. (I Samuel 10:16) We live in a generation where many do not understand the 'Power of Secret'. Saul told his uncle about the donkeys that were found, but never disclosed to him the encounter he had with Prophet Samuel and the anointing for kingship.  You see, the world today is full of evil, wickedness, envy and jealousy. If you don’t know how to control your mouth, you may not live long. Samson told Delilah his secret and that led to his  downfall and premature death. Joseph told his brothers the secret conversation and dream God showed him instead of  keeping quiet, which led to a near death experience, imprisonment and all kinds of battles.  My question today is; who  have you been sharing your secret plans, drea...
