The rise of the fallen.

Acts 14:19-20, 22 NKJV

Then Jews from Antioch and Iconium came there; and having persuaded the multitudes, they stoned Paul  and  dragged  him  out of the city, supposing him to be dead. However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting  them  to continue in the faith, and  saying,  “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.”

Greetings and blessings from God above. Today, our breakfast is served from this Word. Fallen and Risen. Father bless Your word. As we partake of it, Lord let i be to us according to promises and purposes to revive and establish us once again. In Jesus name, Amen!

A person who falls and not able to rise up is a person who chooses to be in that situation, is a person who doesn't have the will-power to rise up and fight again, is a person who allows the devil to manipulate, lie, deceived, crippled him/her.

They stoned Paul  and  dragged  him  out of the city, supposing him to be dead. However, when the disciples gathered around him, he rose up and went into the city. Recently, i had a talk with a youth and he was telling me his dissatisfaction in the ministry and he wanted to take a break. I told him, a ministry that has no trials, hindrances and disappointment is not a fruitful ministry and every believer will go through this pruning process. Look at this great example that Paul showed. Though people came against him, stoned him and dragged him out of the city, however, he rose up and went again into the city. The people of the city are the problem that he has to face, they were against him yet he rose up and went into the city again to face the hindrances, the problems, the dissatisfaction and the hurts.

And the next day he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting them  to continue in the faith, and  saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” Paul wasn't shaken by the situation that he experienced yet the next morning, after entering the city he stayed there one night. He boldly face whatever problems, hindrances and penetrates through all odds and obstacles and the next day he went to another city strengthening the souls of the disciples, exhorting  them  to continue in the faith, and  saying, “We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.” Wow!!! It's like nothing has happened to him!!! Instead of recovering of from the injuries, he went and strengthens the rest of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in faith!!! Hallelujah! Arise and shine friends!

Paul says in 1 Corinthians 10:13 NKJV - No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God  is  faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear  it.

And Jesus said, "be of good courage for i have overcome the world."

Have different spirit in you. Only people with this different spirit will do crazy and extraordinary things for God no matter how and what the situation is. Jesus Never give up on you, so you to do not give up!

We must through many tribulations enter the kingdom of God.
