TODAY’S TOPIC: One with Christ needs not fear
Text: Acts 18:9-17 (NIV)
"18:9. One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: "Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent.
18:10. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city."
18:11. So Paul stayed for a year and a half, teaching them the word of God.
18:12. While Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews made a united attack on Paul and brought him into court.
18:13. "This man," they charged, "is persuading the people to worship God in ways contrary to the law."
18:14. Just as Paul was about to speak, Gallio said to the Jews, "If you Jews were making a complaint about some misdemeanor or serious crime, it would be reasonable for me to listen to you.
18:15. But since it involves questions about words and names and your own law--settle the matter yourselves. I will not be a judge of such things."
18:16. So he had them ejected from the court.
18:17. Then they all turned on Sosthenes the synagogue ruler and beat him in front of the court. But Gallio showed no concern whatever.
SHOWER (Reflection):
When Paul kept doing well, God urged him to fear not that He was with him. He did as instructed unlike most of us that would have used because of persecution to keep off. What happened next, he was brought in before Gallio. God who instructed him to fear not, intervened by letting the judge to wash off his hands. Didn't he win? He won! So, what is it that you are doing for promotions of the gospel that people are attacking you? Fear not. Do not relent because He will always protect and provide for you all through.
