“Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him”. Acts.28:31.
I want you to notice especially that last part of this verse. “No man forbidding him” or “no man hindering him”. The Christian life can be compared to a hurdle or an obstacle race. As I have read these twenty-eight chapters of the book of Acts, I seem to see at least twenty-eight hurdles to be overcome by us as God’s servants: and how wonderfully and perfectly the Holy Ghost moved through God’s servants in different places, in overcoming every one of these hurdles, no man forbidding.
As long as we are conscious of God’s abiding presence in His service, we will see every mountain falling down before His presence. Our purpose now, is to consider, not all, but a few of the obstacles placed before God’s servants and how they went on jumping over hindrances, and saw the mountains falling down, by the grace of God. We shall begin with:
Acts 1:10 ---“And while they looked steadfastly towards heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel.”
That was the first hurdle they had to overcome. The Lord Jesus Christ had been taken up into Heaven, He was gone!
Today’s calendar’s Bible verse:
“As we have opportunity, let us do good unto all men” Gal.6:10.
