The door to greatness opened with the keys of obedience*

Shabbat Shalom from Kent, London. 

*The door to greatness opened with the keys of obedience* 

Acts 9:17 AMP- So Ananias left and entered the house, and he laid his hands on Saul and said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you came to Damascus, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit in order to proclaim Christ to both Jews and Gentiles.” 

Ananias of Damascus is a significant figure in the New Testament, specifically in the Book of Acts. He has been sent by Jesus to Saul to convert him as Paul, later who has become Paul the Apostle. He was playing a pivotal role in teaching us Jesus's sovereignty over the church and His ability to call and commission individuals for His service.

Even though Ananias was aware of Saul's past persecution of Christians, the potential danger to go to meet Saul, it is a testament to his obedience, faith and courage. This step of faith in Obedidence subsequently led to the series of incident and impact to the Kingdom of God to proclaim Christ to both Jews and Gentiles to emphasize the universal nature of God's salvation and the Gospel message to the globe.

The transformation from a persecutor(Saul) to a preacher (Paul) highlights the Power of God's Grace and the importance of obedience to His call.

Paul's life is also a testament to the transformative power of obedience and the incredible opportunities that can result from following God's plan. His conversion is a prime example of greatness achieved through tireless efforts in proclaiming the Gospel,  Foundational and Leadership role in the early church.

Both of these Testimonies are reflecting to the power of obedience to open the doors to greatness and to operate in the scale at which God has set up in advance. Hallelujah. 😊☺️

Peace be upon The State of Israel and Us.🙏 
Shalom. 🙏🙏
In His Grip...🙏🙏🙏

Real battle, Different rules

Real battle, different rules Refer 2 Cor 10:3-6- NIV- For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. 4 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds . 5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 6 And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete. Paul's tone changes sharply in 2 Corinthians 10. After pleading gently for generosity toward the poor, he turns to face his critics, and he is no longer soft-spoken. They claimed he was bold on paper but timid in person, a man who threatened discipline from a distance and would never dare follow through face to face. In short, they questioned whether he had the apostolic authority he claimed. Paul's answer was to describe his ministry as spiritual warfare. The world is unprinciple...

God rewriting life stories

God rewriting life stories Reference Ps 18:20-24 Psalm 18:20–24 (The Message) captures David’s reflection on how God restored and renewed his life when he fully surrendered to Him. In Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase, the language feels vivid and personal—more like a heartfelt testimony than a formal psalm—showing how God restores, remakes, and redefines those who turn to Him. Amen. "God rewrote the text of my life when I opened the book of my heart to His eyes" is perhaps the most powerful image here. It shows that when David welcomed God into his innermost being, God transformed his story—redeeming it, reshaping it, and giving it new meaning and purpose. Hallelujah!  David says God “made my life complete” when he laid everything before Him, and that God “rewrote the text” of his life. This language highlights honest surrender, repentance, and the experience of being restored by God. 2 Corinthians 5:17 makes the same basic claim in a more compact form: “if anyone is in Chris...

I will Bless the Lord

I will bless the Lord, at all times...  Reference: Ps 34:1 - I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. One of the most important attitudes we can embrace in life is making it a habit to bless Him continually. I use the word “lifestyle” on purpose—it’s not just for when we feel like it, but also for when we don’t, because it’s essential. It’s not only about what we do, but who we are.  David’s steady commitment was clear in his words. He received countless blessings from the Lord even before he became well-known. Before everyone knew his name, the Lord knew him for his constant praise and gratitude. Out in the fields, tending sheep in the green pastures, he would sing, dance, and bless the Lord. That was David's preparation to the bigger assignments.  Verse 4 from this chapter really spoke to me: I sought the Lord, trusting in His word, and He answered me, delivering me from all my fears. So, I bless the Lord—Amen, Hallelujah. He...
