Unfailing faith in the Lord is to be established!
1. Stayed with Peter for 15 days and spent some times with James!
I know what Peter could tell him about his experiences in following Jesus and what the Lord’s brother
would tell him how he was so foolish as to refuse to believe his brother while he was living doing
all those mighty works, tell how he could have helped! Gal.1:18-19
I also know what Paul would tell how wrong he was at first in thinking that Jesus was saying and about
he persecuted of the Lord’s followers, how the great light from heaven changed him…
2. Right hands of fellowship with right kind of people! Gal.2:9
Right hands of fellowship with the right kind of people is so important!
James, Peter and John, those reputed to be pillars, gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship
when they recognized the grace given to me.
They agreed that we should go to the Gentiles, and they to the Jews.
3. See what Peter say about Paul!
Bear in mind that our Lord's patience means salvation, just as our dear brother Paul also wrote you with
the wisdom that God gave him. He writes the same way in all his letters, speaking in them of these matters.
His letters contain some things that are hard to understand, which ignorant and unstable people distort,
as they do the other Scriptures, to their own destruction. 2 Peter 3:15-16
4. Join together in constant pray with people like these! Ac.1:12-14
Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city.
When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying.
Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus
and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. They all joined together constantly in prayer,
along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
I know when Jesus’ brothers get together what would they say!
They used to wish that their brother had died! Jn.7:1-5
Knowing the Jews in Judea were looking for an opportunity to kill him. So he did not wish to go about in Judea.
But when Jewish Feast of Tabernacles was near, his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea,
so your disciples also may see the works you are doing…
5. Spend times with these people then very soon you will say I be damned!
And he went out from thence; and he cometh into his own country; and his disciples follow him. Mk 6:2
And when the Sabbath was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished,
saying, Whence hath this man these things? and, What is the wisdom that is given unto this man,
and (what mean) such mighty works wrought by his hands?
Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James, and Joses, and Judas, and Simon?
and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended in him.
And Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country,
and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work,
save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
Think about what kind of a church you attend also!
6. What kind of faith Paul established for himself? Ro.8:38-39
“For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers, nor things present,
nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
MAY THE LORD BLESS YOU RICHLY!
