Season Of Suddenly

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.

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

BE RESOLUTE

  For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. John 6:38 If you need to, you may; examine yourself and see, can the above statement be true of you or about you? Because in life you will face obstacles and challenges that will press and push you to extreme limit or out of measure to a breaking point [in despair of life, according to Apostle Paul]. These things happens in other to make you change course; but stand thou resolute.  Jesus said, persecutions will arise for the Word sake.  In Matthew 26:39, Jesus was praying "... O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." While on the cross, Jesus cried out, "... My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"  Well..., the Father didn't go anywhere, but the heat of the situation(s) make it look that way.  Enroute the promise land, there are a lot of obstacles; there is nothing easy about it. Sure the Devil makes it d...
