Nobody Can Stop Us
Contributed by Richard Papafio on May 7, 2018 (message contributor)
Summary: Nothing should ever stop you from preaching Jesus, who is grace and truth for the power you wield and preach is greater than all others that will rise against you.
May the peace of the Lord be with you.
Topic: NOTHING CAN STOP US
Acts 4:1-4 King James Version (KJV)
4 And as they spake unto the people, the priests, and the captain of the temple, and the Sadducees, came upon them,
2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in hold unto the next day: for it was now eventide.
4 Howbeit many of them which heard the word believed; and the number of the men was about five thousand.
Beloved not all people are happy with your evangelism. Sometimes even the senior priests and bishops who you think should be pleased with you because of what you are doing, would want to slow you down and even utterly destroy the whole Ministry you carry.
Beloved this is so because you preach and teach the truth. When truth is preached people don't struggle to grasp and join in the party and nobody can deceive anybody.
Beloved, you will go through challenges, trials, tribulations, hardships, hatred and persecution. But fear not for the Lord is with you always.
Once He was persecuted and so on and so forth, we shall be treated same. Jesus said, "a servant is not greater than his master" and He said again that, "once the world hates me it will hate you too".
Don't expect any rewards or favour or praise from the world or men. God Almighty shall be your rewarder and the one who favours you and He will lift you up to sit at the table of kings and queens and dine with them.
No matter what they do, they can't stop you or hold you down for the Lord has ordained what you are doing and in whatever state you find yourself, poor or hungry, imprisoned or tortured, you shall still preach the truth.
Glory to God for this Spirit of Resilience.
*IT'S ALL ABOUT JESUS* and no one else. Preach Jesus no matter what and lead many to Him to the glory of His holy name.
Prayer: Father please grant me boldness to preach your Gospel everywhere despite the challenges. In the mighty name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
