Many People in the City

[S] Acts 18:9-10 --⁹And the Lord said to Paul in the night by a vision, "Do not be afraid any longer, but go on speaking and do not be silent;
 ¹⁰for I am with you, and no man will attack you in order to harm you, for I have many people in this city."

[O] I'm reminded of how God sends many of His people to collaborate in speaking the truth to the society we live in.  At times even though it feels like I'm all alone, I need to trust that God had bestowed many of His people around to carry out His purposes.  Spiritual enemy's always lurking around and through others around me to drag me down and to put fear in me.  God told Paul not to be afraid any longer but go on speaking.  God is speaking to me also to not be afraid of some of the situations I'm facing in ministry He placed me but go on speaking.  There will be some attacks but none will be strong enough to harm me.  God's placed many people around me to work together to strengthen up and encourage one another.

[A] Need to rise above some of the discouragements and challenges ahead with the small group ministry by trusting God's promise for my life and the ministry He placed me.  He's going to send co-laborers to work together in this effort.

[P] Dear God, I'm surrendering before You to lay my meager efforts into Your hands such that I will be relying 100% on Your power and workings through my life than trying to achieve things on my own.  Let me not seek my own crown.  In Jesus' name.  Amen.
