Gospel

---

When we preach the Good News, we rattle the cage
Of principalities and powers who will fight back.
But when we see our problems from a godly perspective,
We will be confident that it is going to turn out well.

The chains of Paul eventually brought a great gain'
As the Christians around him became bolder in their preaching.
It brought great gain as many got to know why he was in chains.

So if you’re persecuted be of good cheer; you’re in good company.
Have the same confidence that it will work out for your good.
Know that the persecution is against the Lord, so don’t make it personal.
Remember: ‘Saul, Saul why are you persecuting me?’
Paul was not selfish but joyful that the Good News was being preached.
And that is what really matters at the end of the day.
Jesus suffered for bringing the Good News
This is why we, his followers, need to take our cross and follow His footsteps.
And this is what makes us His disciples

So long as we are doing His will, obeying Him,
All things will work out together for us who love God,
And who are called according to His purposes.
Paul had a confidence, hope and expectation,
That he will not be ashamed, so too you will not be ashamed.
He had one cardinal purpose: that Christ be magnified in his life or death.
He had everything covered and was not afraid even to die, so he was able to live.

Let us preach the Gospel with such boldness, anointing and conviction, regardless of what happens to us. God will vindicate us. Souls will be saved. Heaven will be populated, even as hell is plundered.

Philippians 1:12-20 (New King James Version)
Christ Is Preached

12 But I want you to know, brethren, that the things which happened to me have actually turned out for the furtherance of the gospel, 13 so that it has become evident to the whole palace guard, and to all the rest, that my chains are in Christ; 14 and most of the brethren in the Lord, having become confident by my chains, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even from envy and strife, and some also from goodwill: 16 The former[a] preach Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my chains; 17 but the latter out of love, knowing that I am appointed for the defense of the gospel. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is preached; and in this I rejoice, yes, and will rejoice.
To Live Is Christ

19 For I know that this will turn out for my deliverance through your prayer and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, 20 according to my earnest expectation and hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ will be magnified in my body, whether by life or by death.
