Opposition And Resistance ~ Bishop Thomas Kakala

Bishop Thomas Kakala ~ JCC Malindi 
Opposition and resistance is our driving force for success.

Acts 4:1-20
If you are going to make an impact anywhere you are, you have to know opposition is your hour for elevation. The eternal purpose of God over your life cannot be stopped by anything whatsoever. I want to tell somebody here that the God we serve is a mighty God and there is no problem He can't handle. The story in the above quoted scriptures tells us Peter, John and James; disciples who were once cowards but after they waited in the upper room, they received power to do great things. Their work caught the eyes of the rulers, elders, scribes, priests and the sadducees until they questioned them which kind of power they were using. May the Lord help you to receive transformation until people are left in wonder! In verse 17-19, when they were told to stop speaking in the name of Jesus, they stayed put. That is called boldness and that is what the church needs now more than ever before! The church must stand tall because we are the light and we are the salt.

Peter, John and James were beaten and put in prison, but it could not hold them. We the church must know the devil is targeting us but we are on the winning side because Jesus won our victory!
