Bold or Gold?
Acts 4:23-31 (ESV)
In the midst of persecution and threats, the believers does not merely continue to proclaim the resurrection of Jesus Christ, but they took a step further to pray for boldness.
What would your response be, when confronted by persecution of your faith?
Let's encourage each other to pray, not for any more prosperity, blessing or wealth, but let us pray that we would be bold in proclaiming Christ's Name.
I really wonder why would pastors teach his flock to pray that God would bless their business, their career and their health, when what we desperately need from Sunday service is spiritual food - which is His Word.
But even with a reborn spirit, as fallen flesh and soul we tend to seek what is of flesh and of physical, little do we realise that our true hunger is spiritual.
Therefore, pray, for what is spiritual. And when we realise that our true hunger is spiritual hunger, wealth, pain and health won't matter any more.
