Saul, Full of the Holy Spirit, hits the road running! Acts 9: 20-31.

Pause for thought

Saul immediately began preaching about Jesus in the Synagogue, he didn’t wait before telling others about Jesus, nor should we!

Saul’s message was clear “Jesus is the son of God” he preached in the very Synagogue’s that the letters from the high priest were to be delivered, empowering Saul to arrest the Christians in Damascus., Saul was certainly expected by those in the Synagogue, but they were not expecting to hear what he was saying!

The more Saul preached, the more powerful his preaching became. Some suggest this was because Saul was well versed in the scriptures, but this is only partially true. The Holy Spirit the author of the scriptures had opened Saul’s eyes and heart ( revelation ) to the scriptures that all spoke of the coming Messiah, revealed as Jesus of Nazareth. Saul was a very strong character, however his strength now came from the indwelling Holy Spirit, despite his strong personality Saul always did as God directed, “ my gracious favour is all you need. My power works best in your weakness”. Saul was to write “for when I am weak ,then I am strong.” 2 Corinthians 12:9-10.

A verse to remember

The Church then had peace throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria, and it grew in strength and numbers. The believers were walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit. Acts 9:31 N.L.T.

True Riches. 1 Timothy chapter 6.

Pause for thought

Christians should avoid overfamiliarity with fellow believers, especially in the employee/employer relationship 6:1-2.

Paul makes it pretty clear to Timothy and to everyone who reads his letter that some so called teachers are in it for the money! They can be identified by their novel teaching that conflicts with the teaching of Jesus Christ. Don’t argue with them simply run from them! 6:11

Money doesn’t bring happiness! Some rich people seem never to be satisfied in their quest for more, they can easily get caught in the devils trap that leads to ruin. Riches only last for a season but heavenly treasures last forever. “But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth or rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also” Matthew 6:20-21

Fight the good fight with all thy might, Christ is thy Strength and Christ thy right; Lay hold on Life, and it shall be thy joy and crown eternally. J.S.B.Monsell. 6:19.

A verse to remember

Fight the good fight of faith for what we believe. Hold tightly to the eternal life that God has given you, which you have confessed so well before many witnesses. 1 Timothy 6:12 N.L.T.
