Thursday's Exortation

We will be studying Acts 14 this week and I came across a very pointed exhortation from the Apostle Paul just after he got stoned by all those religious nuts who called themselves Godly.

In V-21 it reads " And when they had preached the gospel in that city (Derbe) and made many disciples, they returned to Lystra, Iconium, and Antioch, strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and saying, "We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God."

This the Apostle Paul stated AFTER he had the holy snot knocked out of him. This is a strong exhortation for us not to look at the present strife we encounter with the enemy. We have the power through Christ to endure but we must be about the Lords business not ours.

This is an exciting Chapter as we will see for ourselves the example of Ministry we are to have in our City, In our work place, In our homes. To God be the glory for the good things He has done!

"We must through MANY TRIBULATIONS enter the kingdom of God"
