Only be as bold as this man; Paul

The scripture gives freedom and peace in this world and the hereafter. Take the sincere milk as a serious baby.

Paul traveled over 10,000 miles sharing the gospel. His journeys on land and sea took him primarily through present day Israel, Syria, Turkey, and Greece. Paul walked the roads built by the Romans to facilitate their control over their Empire. He took to the roads in as large a group as He could find. There was constant danger of bandits. They hurried to get to the next wayside inn for shelter and whatever food might be available. Traveling by sea was not comfortable. They had to find a place on the deck exposed to sun, winds, and rain.

 Paul’s trade as a tent-maker probably held him in good stead, as he could fashion shelter for himself and his companions on the deck. In 2 Corinthians 11: 25 – 27 Paul describes some of the dangers of traveling. 25 … three times I was shipwrecked, I passed a night and a day on the deep; 26 on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my own race, dangers from Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers at sea, … 27 in toil in hardship, through many sleepless nights, through hunger and thirst, through frequent fasting, through cold and exposure. When the church was worshiping and fasting in Antioch, the Holy Spirit marked Paul and Barnabas for a unique missionary journey. This journey was to start at the port city of Antioch and head to the island of Cyprus, Barnabas' home. Cyprus When they reached Cyprus, John Mark assisted them as they proclaimed the gospel in the synagogues (Acts 13:5). They traveled from the port city of Salamis to Paphos on the opposite shore of Cyprus.

At Paphos, a sorcerer greeted them indicating inferentialy that a governor in one of the provinces had sent for the missionaries because he wanted to hear God's Word. This was a message he was familiar with because, after the stoning of Stephen, many Christians had fled to Cyprus (Acts 11:19). Elymas the sorcerer resisted Paul and Barnabas in an attempt to keep Paulus from the faith. Paul called the sorcerer out as a child of the devil, and Elymas was struck blind for some time. When Paulus saw this, he became a follower of Jesus (Acts 13:6–12). Asia Minor From Cyprus, the companions traveled to Perga in Pamphylia (modern-day Turkey). At this point, John Mark decided to abandon the team and return to Jerusalem (Acts 13:13). This separation must have been the result of a large falling out because Paul and Barnabas fought about including John Mark in any further journeys. Paul shared the gospel in the synagogue, and at first, it was well received. The Jews invited Paul and Barnabas to return, but when they saw the crowds gathered to hear them on the following Sabbath, they were jealous and began to argue and insult Paul (Acts 13:45). In response, Paul instructed the crowd that he was no longer going to focus on ministering to the Jews and intended on sharing the message with the Gentiles. The Gentiles who were present received this news with joy, but the Jews started persecuting Paul and his companions, and they were forced to leave.

In Iconium, Paul and Barnabas attended another synagogue and spoke so effectively that many Jews and Gentiles accepted their words. But the Jews that didn't went out of their way to stir up trouble. Even though Paul and Barnabas were able to perform miracles that accompanied their teaching, the city was divided against them, and a plan was hatched to have them stoned (Acts 14:1–7). The missionaries fled to Lystra.

While they were in Lystra, Paul healed a man who was lame, and the crowd thought that the Greek gods had come to the land. They assumed that Barnabas was Zeus and Paul was Hermes (because Hermes was Zeus's messenger). Some priests from the local temple brought out bulls to sacrifice to the two Christians. Paul encouraged them to stop and shared that they were merely humans with testimony from God.

Stop your search; get ''money'' here

The scripture gives freedom and peace in this world and the hereafter. Take the sincere milk as a serious baby.

Several things need to be done to indicate an interest in a venture. If your search is a worthy cause for which you would want to pursue it is therefore a necessity to appraise your journey on the yardstick of several platforms. As it is, with very many, there are no answers anywhere, you know … when you ask me, I would tell you, we have the answers.

Or why come up with a written agreement, discussing all this, detailing a matter without a solution? It is of no use, isn’t?

Your ability to break the heart of a genius chess player in a binge of alcohol doesn’t make you super-human. Just playing on your way to your to victory don’t get carried away. Alcohol for the believer should be used with the caution that it should only be used by prescription and if another person feels that you are doing what is uncalled for then your best bet should be, not to drink it because of your weak brother but don’t judge him If he comes to you telling you he drinks. And whatsoever you do in doubt is unbelief.

If I were me; thought about it clearly; some things done a long time ago would not hunt me now, given, all the actions I took were at best childish. One’s ability as a young child no matter how gifted would be regarded as stupid in the eyes of an older person within my environment, who would say “You’re just being a kid”. However, your greatest ability is the God-given power of the Holy Spirit.

When asked, “Would you love to have this?” The people who sometimes choose the sentimental minds have the answer be, no! “If you really intended to’’, they would tell you, “Why ask?’’…. What a view!

The man who is not saved would do some things that make you wonder. If I may ask, what would be your response to the same question? May be I have not said this the right way….. I mean, what would be my response?  I will for crying out loud! Is there a better way to show you my sincerity, to someone who is not a must you serve?

We live in a fallen world of ideas that are at best; devilish. With a very narrow mind, I would recommend a very strict adherence to this rule; “Don’t talk till you’re told to do so.’’ Dumb! You would say, this is, at best a test of godly character.

In a bid to deliver my seemingly hard message to you, trash talk, isn’t it? However, let’s face it. No matter how many times you hear people say, “it’s really bad to have done what you did”, do you stop it that instant?

How many people really love being scolded and do not wish to stop whatever bad habits. My terrible habits as attached to and seemingly suited only for me as it gets, was not my invention. Someone owns the copyrights to these things. Go from thinking, well, yeah, that’s just his habit, to rethink and say, “He never authored this “movement”, so why be this hard on him.

My guess is as good as yours. Why in the world then was I this mean to this guy without even arriving at a cause for it?

Just as we crucify those who crucified Jesus for doing so, in turn, they crucified Cain for killing Abel. May I ask what the standard pattern of good behavior is? Search no further, it is not found anywhere else. It is only found from scriptures.

Many support the fact that there is a form of wrong and unacceptable behavior, while still denying the fact that there is God who made rules or a standard for an act-whether acceptable or not. Think of it this way. Consciously or not, you seem to be cautious of what you do. Except you’ve become an animal without a consciousness or lost your mind, for majority of your decision making, you are careful, so you do the right thing 
for its attendant implications.

If there is no God, then walk nude, stack naked, as some have attained unto. Go further than that to outdo them; there is really a concept of death I mean, “There is God! Don’t prove to GOD that you won’t accept exists before there was existence. Just to claim there is no GOD some are trying to bypass physical death. Even if you succeeded at that, you would also need to enter heaven and kill GOD without getting killed. Your construct, and how every fiber of constituent in your body was formed was by Him.
