The standing up for Jesus battle

Acts 5:29

Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than men!"

Exposition

Against a stern warning from the ruling council in Jerusalem, called the Sanhedrin, Peter and the other apostles proclaimed Jesus as Lord.

They knew that Jesus had triumphed over the attempts of his enemies to extinguish him and his ministry.

The apostles blatantly disobeyed the orders of the very same people who had Jesus crucified.

By any standard, that is faithful courage. How are you doing in the "standing up for Jesus" battle?

Prayer

Lord God Almighty, please empower me by your Spirit to be courageous. I do not want to ever back down from my convictions nor ever renounce my faith in Jesus, in whose name I pray.

Let Them Say.

The perception, views, and says of your fellow human, doesn't define your true worth. Don't forget what happened to Samuel when he went anointing David as king. Whiles Samuel was busy looking at appearance and physique. God was patiently looking into their hearts. The utterances of others shouldn't stop u from achieving your set goals. Discouraging words shouldn't prevent you from achieving your dream. Don't let their words rule your life. God has the final say. Hear no man but listen to God all the time. Let's pray, Father, give me the heart to stand and adhere to you at all times.

The 3 Enemies of Christ

Living your life as a Christian doesn't mean you are on your own. Being under grace doesn't guarantee you access to continue living in sin. 1st Enemy : Anyone whose destiny is destruction. This may sound ironic, but what it really means is that anyone who ends up living their life just to cause harm. Is an enemy of Christ. This is because it is the devil who came to steal, kill, and destroy. Your purpose for being alive shouldn't limit you to causing harm to people. 2nd Enemy: Anyone whose god is their stomach. How can your stomach be your god? Simple, anytime you put your stomach first above all priorities. Even when you're expected to fast, that's where you try remembering a befitting ailment. The little money you get all ends up in your stomach. 3rd Enemy: mindset on only earthly things. We are living in a generation where your wealth defines your worth. We've forgotten about the existence of God, the Supreme being, and the maker of the un...
