Edifying The Church- Don't be Afraid to Speak; don't be silent

Don’t be afraid to speak; don’t be silent

One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. 10 For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” (Acts 18:9-10).

It is the Lord almighty who is giving Paul a clear vision of his mighty divine authority, power, and strength, and that everything is under his full control. (Acts 18:9) Paul was inspired and humbled by the realization of God’s power and he is in awe of the Lord’s greatness He realizes that the Lord is in control of everything and that He is always watching over him, and filled with a newfound faith and trust in the Lord. He is also reminding Paul of his responsibility to spread the Gospel and to trust in God’s plan for his life and destiny. Paul is reminded that he is never alone and that the Lord will always be with him. And he also realized that God was with him and would provide him with the strength and courage to face any challenge.

In Corinth, Apostle Paul faced much opposition to his faith, and he must have been frightened by the threats he received. Despite the danger, Paul persevered and continued to preach the gospel. He was determined to spread the good news of Jesus Christ and never gave up. His courage and faith inspired many and his contribution remains to this day. He trusted in God to protect and provide for him and for those who would listen to his words. His trust in God gave him courage and resilience in the face of adversity. He is an example of courage, faith and resilience that all believers should strive to emulate. His legacy will live on for generations to come.

He stands firm and proclaims justice. He hears the cries of the oppressed and stands in their defense. He fights for what is right and speaks out against injustice.

Then God directs him to take a stand and be a voice for those who can speak for themselves and for those they can defend against the corruption of life and religious methods . He encourages him to use the power of his words to bring about positive change. He tells him that he is strong enough to make his voice heard and to make a difference and to take action and be courageous. Then he encourages him to place his complete trust in him, and he brings with him this untouchable promise that can never be broken. He tells him not to let fear or doubt stop him from achieving his spreading his gospel to all people . He gives him the strength and courage he needs to take on his challenges and to succeed. Finally, he promises to be with him every step of the way.

This is exactly what God reminds Paul of, Paul felt helpless and weak before his enemies, but God reminded him of His power and that He would be with him no matter what. Paul’s faith was restored and he was able to continue his journey with renewed hope. You need not to fear, for I am the lord, and your god, who dwells within you, is going ahead of you. You do not need to hold back. Do not fear I am with you, and no one will harm you. I have called you by name and I love you. You are my child and I am your father. I will rescue you,” says the Lord. “I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.” I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go,”(Isaiah 41:10) I will protect you wherever you go and will bring you back home safely.”I will be with you every step of the way. I will be with you in spirit, and you will know I am with you.

I have called you for my people
I have put my words in your mouths. Keep speaking, My spirit will be with you always.
I will empower you, do not be silent, Speak out against injustice.
I will be with you in the power of my words. Do not be discouraged.
I will protect you.
I will be your voice. You are not alone.
I will be your strength.

He stands ready to vanquish the forces of evil. He is called to be Gods Warfighters and to spread His message of mercy and Grace and He will stand against the darkness and fight for His righteousness.

The divine mightiest protection has been bestowed on upon Paul, Your enemies will not be able to touch you. You are safe from all harm You are strong and have nothing to fear. You are guarded and safe and you can rely on the power of the divine to protect you. Your faith will be your shield,”(Ephesians 6:16-18)”Let your faith be like a shield, and you will be able to stop all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
