Acts 4:29, NIV
Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Acts 4:29, NIV After Jesus was resurrected, His disciples continued the mission. They went to different places to share the gospel. They performed signs and wonders. But even if they were already doing extraordinary things in the eyes of men, still these disciples were badly persecuted. They were condemned and thrown into prison because of their faith. But even though they experienced hardships, still, they didn’t stop preaching the good news to the broken and in pain.

You will go through obstacles that will equip you for the coming storms and problems. Doing…

Acts 4:12, NIV
Jesus is “‘the stone you builders rejected, which has become the cornerstone.’ Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” Acts 4:12, NIV Salvation is found only in the arms of Jesus. He is the One who has given us the chance to experience eternal life. Some Jews and Pharisees may reject Him, but He became the cornerstone. He became the hope of this world. Through His suffering on the cross and the precious blood that was showered upon us, we are now washed from our impurities and made whole. And everyone who believes…

Acts 4:3, NIV
They seized Peter and John and, because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day. Acts 4:3, NIV Jesus’ disciples, Peter and John, experienced persecution because of what they were sharing with the people. It wasn’t that easy for them to proclaim the Messiah because many people were opposed to their beliefs and faith. Because of this, they go through moments when they are seized by the authorities and put in jail. But even though it took so much risk to share the good news during their days, they still persevered. The difficulties that they experienced didn’t stop them from preaching the gospel. That’s why we…

The Breaking Season will somehow Strengthen your Heart
There are truths in life that are so easy to understand but hard to accept. How can a painful situation strengthen our hearts when it causes us to shrink and walk in the darkness? How will things fall in the right places when your heart is already shattered in pieces? It doesn’t make sense. Why do people always talk about strength in moments when we feel weak? Is it because they are just insensitive? How come it’s so difficult to accept the truth that good things will still happen? Maybe you also have these questions in your head. It’s not that pain is not real. You ought to acknowledge it.…
