Growth in Opposition

Have you ever seen a marriage struggle sometimes If you have, you know that the end is better than the beginning time Sometimes it takes a little heat to bring out the best in a product after all, death, fighting, war,

sometimes it takes all those woes to at last stand tall It seems quite ironic how all of this works We must remember that Jesus said I came to bring a sword, and not peace on earth A man's enemies will sometimes be they of his own household Its better to be quiet sometimes than to speak your mind and be bold Your words may pierce the enemy so all the while he may be plotting to get rid of you Like Paul you may be stoned by the people you comforted, don't let that get the best of you Keep pressing on, just like Paul did, Travel on to the next city, becauase growth in opposition just cant be contained by a lid You may walk through the valley of the shadow of death, yet fear no evil at all God is with you through scourgings, vinegar, and gall, Shake the dust from your feet when you are not accepted Face danger with pride, for this is the story of: growth in opposition

Bro White affirms that Jesus did not come to bring peace but a sword, "Jesus came to turn a daughter in law against her mother in law, Yeaj Jesus said, a man's enemies will be they of his own household. In Acts 13:4-9 Paul is sought to be praised with hands. These same hands are responsible for now almost killing Paul by stoning him to unconsiousness and led out of the gates of the city. Paul rose from this feat, to keep moving. When Paul was not accepted in one city, he shook the dust from his feet and moved on to another city, preaching the good news of Jesus death, burial, and resurrection. Paul almost died and faced great tribulation. In the same place Paul was stoned, he would return and confirm the saints in that very same place. All the while in the midst of his tribulations and sufferings, the church continued to grow. Bro White entitled this lesson, 'The Church Grows in Opposition'. When you serve the Lord, you will face opposition, Keep on Serving anyhow.
