“So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much bolder to speak the word without fear.” – Philippians 1:13-14 (KJV)

Apostle Paul is a good example to emulate when it comes to standing up for the gospel no matter what. He went through several challenges such as a shipwreck, hunger, imprisonment, beatings, and a stoning, but he never gave up on the gospel (2 Corinthians 11:23–33). He became a role model for the saints to preach the gospel with boldness.

As a child of God, do people get motivated to stand for the gospel when they see what you are going through? Do not allow the challenges in your life for the sake of the gospel let you down. Draw inspiration from Apostle Paul and continue to witness for Christ Jesus. Remember that we were not only called to believe in Jesus Christ but to also suffer for His sake (Philippians 1:29).

Beloved, as you continue to witness for Jesus Christ even in your suffering, believers in Christ will draw inspiration from you and stand for Christ no matter what. Hallelujah! God bless you!

Prayer Point: Dear Lord Jesus Christ, thank You for sacrificing Your life to save me from sin and eternal damnation. I promise to stand for You and the gospel no matter what I’m going through. Please give me more grace to endure tough times and be a good example for Christians to keep preaching the gospel for many to be saved. Amen!
