KEY SCRIPTURE: Acts 23:24. “And provide them beasts, that they may set Paul on, and bring him safe unto Felix the governor.”

The spirit of religion is very wicked. Religious people always fight for their God. They kill and terrorise in the name of defending their faith. During the Jewish people’s attack on Paul, some of them bound themselves with a curse not to eat for forty days till they killed Paul. Acts 23:12 “And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till they had killed Paul.” Our key scripture states that beasts, specifically horses, were provided to transport Paul safely to the governor. God would give you a special treat to keep you safe.

These Jews bound themselves with a curse not to eat nor drink for a period as long as forty days until they had killed Paul. Under the new covenant, no one is to physically attack or kill anyone who holds a contrary view to ours. The message of the new covenant is love for all men and hatred for none. The bible said that when these people were cooking this evil plan, the nephew of Apostle Paul got a hint of it and managed to get to Paul and reveal it to him. Paul told the captain that the young man had a message for him. He revealed the whole plot to the captain. Dear child of God, the wicked would never succeed with their evil scheming. Please behold the plan of God concerning your safety. Isaiah 54:15 “Behold, they shall surely gather together, but not by me: whosoever shall gather together against thee shall fall for thy sake.”

Dear child of God, do not be worried about threats against your life. The bible says they would gather, but it shall not be of the Lord, and they shall fall for your sake. If their plans prevail, then the Lord allowed it for the ultimate glory to His name. In Paul’s case, the Roman centurion asked that two hundred men be made available to escort Paul, while a horse be made available for him to personally ride on. Paul was on a divine program to go to Rome and preach the gospel there, too. Dear child of God, please know that God’s plans for His children are always the best. Listen to what God says about His plans for you. Jeremiah 29:11 ” For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. “Stop worrying about anything and everything. All you have to do is entrust your life and life agenda into Him and His agenda. God has not gone to sleep. His eyes are passionately on you.

CONFESSION

My life is for His glory. I do not live for myself. I live solely for His purpose. He gives me only the best; therefore, only the best comes to me.
