Act 26:28-29 Agrippa interrupted him. "Do you think you can make me a Christian so quickly?" Paul replied, "Whether quickly or not, I pray to God that both you and everyone here in this audience might become the same as I am, except for these chains."
Wherever Paul went, he was there to testify. Not for himself, not JUST to defend his cause and himself from the accusations of all the others… he was there to testify ABOUT JESUS.
His encounter was so real that he can't stop talking about Jesus and telling everyone about his personal encounter with him. He was always on the WINNING MODE. He wants to convince everyone that JESUS is real. That what he experienced were true and that everybody can benefit from it.
Paul even faced kings and rulers. And he shared the same thing. HE WAS PERSISTENT. HE WAS CRAZY FOR JESUS.
PROMISE
God gives us opportunity to face kings and rulers in our time today, not just for the sake of meeting them… but for the sake of really sharing Jesus. We are where we are for a purpose.
Proverbs 22:29
A man chosen by God will serve before Kings and not just ordinary men.
COMMAND
1. Wherever you are, you are called to TESTIFY about JESUS.
2. Always be reminded of your encounter with Him, and have that as your weapon towards opposition.
3. Be crazy for Jesus.
WARNING
It will not be easy, it will always be challenging. Facing kings are not easy, but they are worth it. Without persistence, perseverance, you can never stand such calling.
APPLICATION
We are called to face before KINGS and RULERS. We are to testify before BIG men and women in the industry. We are called for the professionals and the great men and women of our time. Many people may reject us, but we must persist. Persevere in sharing God, in sharing JESUS.
Nice!
