Acts 22:10, NIV
“‘What shall I do, Lord? I asked. ‘Get up,’ the Lord said, ‘and go into Damascus. There you will be told all that you have been assigned to do.’ Acts 22: 10, NIV When Paul supernaturally encountered Jesus, he realized who he truly was. And that’s when he learned to submit to our Savior. He humbly asked Him about the things that He needed to do, and that’s when He was instructed to go to Damascus. There, he will know the purpose that Jesus had already orchestrated for him. You see, Paul used to persecute the followers of Jesus, but that doesn’t stop our Savior from using him for the…

It takes a Humble Heart to Ask for Help
Sometimes, we are so used to doing things on our own that we no longer consider other people’s opinions. Because we don’t want others to think bad about us, we tend to keep everything inside and try to solve our problems alone. We figure things out according to our own understanding, and we quit hoping that there are still genuine hearts who are willing to lend some help and support to us. Because we continuously received so many rejections in the past, we stopped depending on other people’s life. This is the reason why we can’t easily ask for help. We think that we no longer need others. It’s our…

Acts 22:7, NIV
I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ Acts 22:7, NIV This is what Jesus said to Saul (also known as Paul) when he supernaturally encountered Him in a place near Damascus. Before he was saved, Saul used to persecute the Christians in his days. He is one of those who arrested the men and women who were Jesus’ followers. This is the reason why Jesus asked Him this question, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’ It was an overwhelming encounter for Paul because that’s when he realized who Jesus was. And the amazing part is even though…

Acts 21: 35-36, NIV
When Paul reached the steps, the violence of the mob was so great he had to be carried by the soldiers. The crowd that followed kept shouting, “Get rid of him!” Acts 21: 35-36, NIV This is what happened to Paul when He reached Jerusalem. The people persecuted Him and treated Him as if He was a sinner who did things against God’s will. He received harsh words. The crowd followed and kept shouting at him. Soldiers are carrying Him, and He has already experienced violence. Paul’s suffering is not easy. And the amazing thing about this is He knew all about these things. The Holy Spirit already informed Him…

Acts 21:13, NIV
Then Paul answered, “Why are you weeping and breaking my heart? I am ready not only to be bound, but also to die in Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.” Acts 21:13, NIV People were weeping when they heard that Paul would go back to Jerusalem. But even if they don’t want Paul to go, he is so decided to proceed to His plans. In fact, He is willing to die in the name of our Lord Jesus. He is willing to sacrifice His life just to glorify our Savior. Paul already knew that following Him was not easy, but He took the risk and let go of…
