In The Face Of Opposition

SCRIPTURE
Then the Lord said to Paul in a night vision, "Don't be afraid, but keep on speaking and don't be silent." Acts 18:9


OBSERVATION
Paul was coming up against opposition while preaching to the people of Corinth. The lord sent him this vision discouraging fear and encouraging him to keep preaching the good news.


APPLICATION
Often, when we try to share Christ, we come up against opposition! Satan begins to do whatever he can to keep the message from reaching lost souls. Listen to the Lord...Don't be afraid, but keep on speaking! We're in the last leg of the race and if we don't do everything that we can to get the Gospel to those who have not heard or received, we have failed!

PRAYER
Father, thank you for the opportunity to be involved in sharing the "Good News." Give me the courage and boldness to speak your word, no matter how much opposition comes my way. Amen.
