🌟Embrace the Chaos, Witness the Grace🌟
C H O F Ministry’s Bible Verse for Today:
But Saul was ravaging the church, and entering house after house, he dragged off men and women and committed them to prison. — Acts 8:3
In the dramatic ending of Acts 7⛪, we see the unyielding faith of Stephen✝️, bravely confronting the challenges of persecution. Even against the dissent from the Jewish Sanhedrin🕍, Stephen’s allegiance to Christ remained unwavering🛡️. A chilling moment indeed, learning that Saul, who later evolved into the great apostle Paul🙏, was present and endorsed this heartbreaking event😢. However, in such darkness, we can find hope🕯️ in the transformative might of God’s grace. Saul’s life took a dramatic turn, and he became a lighthouse for the Gospel🌈. Let’s remember that even when adversity strikes💔, our faith can gleam🌞, illuminating the pathway for others to experience the love and mercy of Jesus Christ💖.
And behold, Saul, in his misdirected actions, brought turmoil to the church in Jerusalem, the city of peace🏛️. The apostles and many disciples were spread across Judea and Samaria🌍. One disciple, Philip, embarked on a heavenly journey to Samaria, fearlessly announcing the majestic name of Jesus, our Savior, and Messiah🕊️. He saw numerous miracles and masses embracing faith✨.
Beloved, sometimes, God allows your peaceful sanctuary🏡 to experience a divine interruption🌪️. There could be a Saul-like situation — an illness😷, a betrayal💔, a job loss📉, or pressure that threatens our peace🌊. Fear not, I remind you that in the chaos, you can rise and find calmness🧘. Stand firm in your faith✊. A Saul-like situation is a divine setup from above, pushing you towards a new level of existence🦋. He has a divine plan to use it for your rise and progress🌄. Without trials, there are no triumphs🌟.
Romans 8:18 📖 — “I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.”
Let Us Go into The Throne Room of Grace and Mercy:🙏
“Dear Lord, in the midst of our trials, grant us the courage to stand firm in faith. Let us see these challenges as divine setups leading us to triumphs. Give us the strength to shine your light to others, through our lives. In Jesus name, To God Be the Glory!”
Have a Wonderful Friday and a Gorgeous Weekend, Everyone! ☀️
