Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God. - Acts 13:43
You may be in a situation at the moment that requires a little push, encouragement, help; everyone need these things to scale new heights from time to time, one way or another.
The scripture above indicates that Paul and Barnabas where persuaded; meaning they were encourage to continue to by the Jews to preach, but in verse 45 these same people turned against them to destroy them, what spark up the jealously?
They became envious of the sudden success of verse 44.
And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.Verse 45 read thus
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against...Just a word of caution, your greatest encouragers today can be your worst enemies tomorrow. Most times not because you did something wrong but, your breakthrough will spark envy and they just can't handle it. So that you know, when the time comes don't be surprised.
In Gen. 12:3 God said,
... I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curse thee:...Anyone that will help you get the blessing out, I will bless. But, if anyone tries to hinder you, that person is in grave danger. Because you can't be stopped as long as you are with me; saith the Lord.
Psalm 23:5 says
Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.Get set for sudden abundance that will spark envy. It is your season.
Remain blessed.
