Paul was on a journey. He was in the process of making facts or information known to the elders of Ephesus.
That despite his imprisonment in Rome and the cruelty he endured, he continued to declare that none of these things moved him.
That even in the face of difficulty, he continued to keep the faith and continued in a course of action, which was to serve the Lord.
He was a true Christian. An evangelical preacher. Preaching the gospel as a testimony.
A testimony of what the Lord had done for him and could do for them. Knowing that some would receive it and others would not.
No matter the situation, he preached about faith and repentance.
He held on to the truth of the gospel. To the mission the Lord had on his life to proclaim the Word.
Great endurance is essential in life. It leads to great achievements.
Paul is a great example that we can finish our course with joy, when we remain steadfast and faithful.
Refusing to let anyone or anything prevent us from the ministry, which we have received of the Lord Jesus.
We are all to be a living testimony of the gospel and the grace of God.
A WORD OF PRAYER
Lord, may we stand firm, like Paul, in the truth of Your Word. Spreading the gospel no matter the situation. That being able to endure will lead us to great achievements through You; joy-filled moments. Thank You Lord.
In Jesus Name We Pray, Amen
