On that day a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem, and all except the apostles were scattered throughout Judea and Samaria. Acts 8: 1
It states so clear in Acts 1:8 that disciples of Jesus will be His witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria and to the ends of the earth. But according to Acts 8: 1, no one moved to Judea and Samaria until Stephen was martyred and a great persecution broke out against the church at Jerusalem.
In human’s eyes, we are always so discouraged when difficulties, disasters and persecution come. But in God’s eyes, this is always an opportunity to lead us back to him, a training and coaching to push us to the next level and to prepare us heading towards His destination and not ours.
Where are you heading?

Dear Lord Jesus,
Help me to prepare myself to be trained and coached by you, heading to your destination. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Pray that in the Holy and Mighty Name of Jesus Christ our Lord, we can win over Satan's tricks, in order to strengthen our brothers and sisters so that His Kingdom will be extended.
