Acts 28:5-6 NIV
[5] But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects.
[6] The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead; but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god.

A ride through the book of Acts
(May God force them Change mind and gossip about you!)
As we come to conclusion of our great tour through the book of Acts that we started on 29th October 2025, now 10 full months, I wish to conclude with this prayer for each and everyone of us who has been following and enjoying the tour.

As people all along waited for Ap. Paul to develop swellings and eventually die according to the natural known systems of the world and Science but he did neither swell nor die, causing them to come to a conclusion that he was a god!!!
May God cause the same to you soon this year before it ends that all those around you and who know you but have been silently waiting to see and confirm your downfall in any area of your life to change their statements about you and call you a god, or a witch, or a government insider, or one who goes under waters after seeing the opposite of what they have been waiting to see about you concerning;
Your marriage
Your Job
your education
your business
your Christian life
your Childless life
your marriageless life
your sickly body
your unfinished projects

God is going to twist the tongues of your I'll wishers and backbitters and enemies to instead gossip in marvel about your unique in usual rare testimony!!

Hallelujah 🙏

Be blessed

Acts 28:1-2NIV
[1] Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta.
[2] The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold.

A ride through the book of Acts
(The un usual Kindness)
Ap. Paul and his Apostolic team had moved to and through so any places and had been hosted by so many different persons, homes, and Churches!

His unique observation about these residents of Malta deserves special attention and admiration by especially any true Christians and God loving persons.

There must be something special but usual these people of Malta did to and before this missionary team yet in un usual way to a level that it attracted Ap. Paul's attention.

Ap. Paul is known for his being clear, precise, and articulate so careful with his words of commendation and exhaltatation!! by the time he pointed out here that these people offered him and team un usual kindness, then it must be indeed un usual!

Do you know that all people who seem above you, more special than you, more needed than you, who have gained special favor before important people than you, and

people who seem almost indispensable in organizations, ministries, Institutions and marriages , have just one single attribute in common!

This attribute is "They learnt and are devoted to doing usual common things in un usual way and in rare way"!
1. They cook common usual food always in different un usual way for their husbands and families
2. They lay same usual marriage bed but in un usual ways and ever thinking and adopting rare ways!
3. They greet and put on usual smile and welcoming appreciative or attractive face but innun usual ways ever!
4. They do common usual home cores including cleaning and organization but in un usual ways!! ever attractive to their family members!
5. They preach and teach same Bible scriptures but in rare un usual ways attracting the listeners!!
6. They do common usual love acts to family members and to different people but in un usual and rare ways!!
7. They give to the needy usual common things but just in unusual ways and in rare styles!!
Until you come out of the clan of those who do same ordinary things in common ordinary ways, you will never be special in the eyes and hearts of those people you are supposed to be special to.

The choice is yours and in your hands.

Be blessed

Acts 27:42-44NIV
[42] The soldiers planned to kill the prisoners to prevent any of them from swimming away and escaping.
[43] But the centurion wanted to spare Paul’s life and kept them from carrying out their plan. He ordered those who could swim to jump overboard first and get to land.
[44] The rest were to get there on planks or on other pieces of the ship. In this way everyone reached land safely.

A ride through the book of Acts
(All along, it has been the grace of God)
Your mother was not sure to conceive you, and when it happened, the enemy had planned to ensure at least you are not borne alive but anyway, you escaped the womb alive!

You were not to survive beyond the first 5yrs of life alongside those so many children borne around the same time with you and faced similar challenges like you but they didn't survive beyond their 5th Birthday and when you finally lived beyond the enemy planned that you will at least live as a disabled person but anyway today you live a full man/woman without any physical damage!

No way you were to survive through your early youthful stage according to the enemy's design bse he had secured enough men/women to destroy you completely via immoral acts if not through r**e, defilement, prostitution or fornication, alcohol, drugs and dubious deals.
after escaping through, the enemy planned that you will at least don't get married, you get frustrated and live a miserable life but now today you live a married man/woman at your age!

When he saw you getting married against his plans, the enemy design a conclusive plan that you will at least never conceive with any pregnancy or make your wife conceive at all till you will become a laughing stalk of society and relatives but here you are today a happy father, mother, a proud expecting mother or father!

The enemy has planned and waited for your total failure academically at various levels of Education but it's just to his disappointment that you have passed through this day and to the level you are now. When you went through finally against his plans, he endured that you will never get a job and earn anything good out of your education but here you are today, educated and working!

According to the enemy's plan and design, you were not among those who will ever own any piece of land in this country not even by inheritance and when you did, he planned that you will never see anything useful in that land like building or even growing crops there!!! but today, here you are; owning land, building or with crops in it or planning to build and surely as long as the Lord liveth, you will achieve all.

The accidents you have survived, the terrible illnesses including those considered chronic/congenital you have escaped, the schemes of throwing you up into prisons you have survived has never been an obvious escape as you have been thinking and taking it rather the Grace of God.
He is the one who has brought you to this day, with all the life privileges you have today as you see!

All along, it has been the grace of God.

God deserves your full praise, honor and faithful service if only you knew.
Who are you to be alive today and even not disabled at all!

Who are you to be among the professionals in this country looking back at your background and seeing the relatives around you!

Who are you to be married today and remaining married beyond a year in such a society today which is so broken down and looking at the general picture in your clan/family!

Who are you to have a job and a reasonable job with salary attached in this Country!!! with so high levels of un employment of both the un educated and the educated!

Who are you to be with a child or to be pregnant, a mother or father looking at the trend in society and the curses that were upon your family line and name!

Who are you to own land moreover prime land in this country where the commonest outcries among people in society is fights for land!

What makes you imagine that it was obvious for you to own a family in today's society and to be building a house despite all the financial strains hitting people in this Country!!!

It is nothing else but instead it has all along been the grace of God.

Hallelujah!

Be blessed

Acts 26:27-29NIV
[27] King Agrippa, do you believe the prophets? I know you do.”

[28] Then Agrippa said to Paul, “Do you think that in such a short time you can persuade me to be a Christian?”

[29] Paul replied, “Short time or long—I pray to God that not only you but all who are listening to me today may become what I am, except for these chains.”

A ride through the book of Acts
(It's never about "how long", but a clear defense)
It's very important for everyone who ever participates in active evangelical to understand that leading a sinner's heart to break down for Christ to have access, never requires lots of talking, struggling, shouting and or even craftiness to trick or force a soul to Christ!! But rather;
Simply the ability to table a clear defense of the written truth about Christ and with proof where required to demonstrate the ability of God's power and love over His people.

Let us fill ourselves with enough of the knowledge of God, seek His grace and power, and avail ourselves with preparedness to expound the truth of the Gospel with ease and clarity to everyone. Then we shall leave them with no option except for them to ask "Sirs, what must I do to receive this Christ"!

No matter how long and powerfully you talk to none believers,if the content is not clothed with clear understanding of Scripture, and not wrapped with power of God to set free bound souls, an evangelist shall always remain just a good orator or joker before the still bound souls.

Let us prioritize Prayer and studying of Scripture for understanding if we are to remain relevant in the field of evangelism.

Be blessed

Acts 23:12-16NIV
[12] The next morning some Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves with an oath not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul.
[13] More than forty men were involved in this plot.
[14] They went to the chief priests and the elders and said, “We have taken a solemn oath not to eat anything until we have killed Paul.
[15] Now then, you and the Sanhedrin petition the commander to bring him before you on the pretext of wanting more accurate information about his case. We are ready to kill him before he gets here.”
[16] But when the son of Paul’s sister heard of this plot, he went into the barracks and told Paul.

A ride through the book of Acts
(The value of goodness in to all)
If it was not for this young man, his nephew reporting to him the overheard plot to kill him, Ap Paul was gone that day!! he was not to survive death, and he was not to preach to the more souls after.

But It took just one young man, this time a relative to save a life of a great minister of God !!
Just as Naaman's life was saved by a simple house maid who sympathized with his life possibly bse Naaman was not a bad master to this young girl!!
And possibly Uncle paul was not a bad uncle to this little boy and their family!!

The souls Ap. Paul brought into the kingdom after this, all was partly bse of this little boyand he had a share in it!

Do you put any value or do you ever mind being good to as many as possible those around you! Do you ever think of their value to you or your family one day!!! or you are a kind who only thinks about self and know no body unless is your very close relative!!

Sometimes God will use the un expected people to preserve your life.

Let us think of our ways

Be blessed

Acts 23:11 NIV
[11] The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage! As you have testified about me in Jerusalem, so you must also testify in Rome.”

A ride through the book of Acts
(When the Master appreciates your service!!?)
When you please God with your service on His assignments to you, He does not retire you but rather gives you more and greater assignments!!!!

He works with accomplishers, finishers, people who behave towards ministry always with a focused joyful attitude but never with mediocres, lazy busy bodies, hypocritical talkers and those who give little priority and those who give very compromising attitude towards God's purpose and will.

Will you change your attitude today!!!

Let us consider our ways.

Be blessed

Acts 23:1 NIV
[1] Paul looked straight at the Sanhedrin and said, “My brothers, I have fulfilled my duty to God in all good conscience to this day.”
A ride through the book of Acts
(Do you serve God with a clear conscious?)
No matter what the enemies of faith and the Church presented always before different people including rulers to tarnish his reputation and name and to terminate his ministry, Ap. Paul guarded his heart and mind focused on serving God and fulfilling the exact call the assignment given him by God.

Today, can you stand boldly and with confidence and testify of yourself , the purity, honesty, and genuineness of your own conscious before God in serving Him and His cause?

Are you really doing what God called you to do!

Is that you are giving priority what God really called you to do!

Are you having a clear good conscious in doing whatever you are doing today!!!

Are gossipers and backbitters, and enemies really deceiving about you! do they gossip falsehood about you or their gossip is actually true!

what takes much of your money as priority! is it God's priority or you don't want to know!

Let us consider our ways!!! and choose to return to the right cause.

Be blessed

Acts 22:14-15 NIV
[14] “Then he said: ‘The God of our ancestors has chosen you to know his will and to see the Righteous One and to hear words from his mouth.
[15] You will be his witness to all people of what you have seen and heard.

A ride through the book of Acts
(Witnessing of what you have seen and heard!)
It's a very wonderful thing for us today as a Church to have so many young men and women aspiring, warming up, and zealous of moving out to the world or into the body of Christ (the Church) as witnesses to speak or sing of God's goodness!!

However, a very crucial question remains disturbing us as Apostles of the Church though it seems to be ignored or being taken lightly by the Shepherds to these young men and women!! I.e.
1. Have these young men and women so far seen anything and if so , what have they so far seen!!!
2. Are these young men and women willing or have time to listen/hear first and if so they are ready to hear exactly preferably what, how much, and for how long!!?
3. In case they have not yet seen or heard anything or enough, then what are they witnessing about out there and on pulpits?

Do you wish and hold a dream of becoming a powerful witness for the name of Jesus and the Gospel!!!!? Then learn and earnestly yarn to first see something and also to first hear enough so that you are sure of what, whom, you are witnessing of!

If you don't have anything yet you have so far seen or heard , pse, pse, pse, don't or stop moving around on any Church platforms and Christian gatherings simply bse you are going to mess up not only yourself but also your listeners/disciples.

Be blessed

Acts 22: 6-12 NIV
[6] “About noon as I came near Damascus, suddenly a bright light from heaven flashed around me.
[7] I fell to the ground and heard a voice say to me, ‘Saul! Saul! Why do you persecute me?’
[8] “ ‘Who are you, Lord?’ I asked. “ ‘I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting,’ he replied.
[9] My companions saw the light, but they did not understand the voice of him who was speaking to me.
[10] *“ ‘What shall I do, Lord?’ I asked.* “ ‘Get up,’ the Lord said, ‘and go into Damascus. There *you will be told all that you have been assigned to do*.’
[11] My companions led me by the hand into Damascus, because the brilliance of the light had blinded me.

A ride through the book of Acts
(How ready and easy are you to be told what to do and how to do it!)
It's sad to mention that we are in a generation where so many uprising ministers in Church today of almost all callibar are so good at jumping to preaching or singing pulpits, prayer Mtns/rooms, Sunday School ministry etc yet so few, very very few are willing to told or instructed on what to do and or how to do it as long as they feel God has called them.

The false feelings of independence, self sustaining, and selfish fear to be accountable to any one has destroyed and prematurely terminated the growth of the would be powerful ministers in the body of Christ.

Yes, no one is refuting that it's God who has called you, however, there is always a gap better obtaining a call from God, and the real ex*****on of the call!!

The gap always left is to allow God carry you into hands of fathers/mentors/ people who are supposed to tell you the *what to say* and demonstrate to you on the how to do it!

And so many times, God ensures that the great Ap.Pauls serve when Peters and James's are still alive and active
He allows the mighty Joshua's to serve when Moses's are still alive and present in their lives simply bse God expects the Ap. Paul's, and the Joshuas to be oriented fully in the "what to say" and in the "how to say or do it".

Bse, of deliberate and careless ignoring of this great principle, for any reason, many ministries have either lost track, become stunted, and or moving backwards, despite availability of money, nice buildings, and Theological colleges.

Yes, you are call
Yes, you are anointed
Yes, you have been sent or sent out
But, you still need to know what to and how to do it or say.

That's how God simply operates.

Be blessed
