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. Instead of giving up, the disciples asked for more strength so that they could speak God’s word…

John 15:20, NIV
Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. John 15:20, NIV If you believe that you are a follower of Christ, then expect persecution to happen.

As you walk along the journey with Him, you will discover that following Him is not about living a life that is free from pain, but it’s about obeying Him…

John 15: 15, NIV Jesus calls us friends. It means that He gave us the opportunity to discover a lot of things in His Kingdom. Having a friend like Jesus is like gaining a priceless treasure.

Humble yourself, and you will be Honored
The greatest among you will be your servant. For those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted. Matthew 23: 11-12, NIV This world treats those who have the authority to command and dictate others as powerful and influential. People tend to consider those who are in the higher rank or those who are rich enough as honorable and worthy of our respect. But in the eyes of God, He gives honor to those people who know how to humble themselves and serve others. He looks at the heart and not the physical appearance. He evaluates everybody’s motives. So if you want to be…
