GOD'S UNSTOPPABLE WORD AND CHURCH!
2 Timothy 2:9.
However, God's Word can not be bound or imprisoned.

It's amazing how God takes a seemingly hopeless situation and opens a new chapter of new opportunities for growth, increase, advancement and something fresh and exciting! A minister friend told me he hadn't seen the Church forced Into adopting such novel ministry strategies in his 58 years of ministry. I personally think that's a clear sign that the Church is finally getting the message and waking up to our long abandoned primary responsibility to be sign posts, directing and ushering the dying world to our Lord Jesus Christ, through the outstanding gifts of the Holy Spirit lying dormant and redundant in us. It seems to me it would always take some kind of persecution, pressure or whatever we may call it to do that. Like the case in Acts 8.

Acts.8.1,4..
....A great wave of persecution began that day, sweeping over the church in Jerusalem, and all the believers except the apostles fled into Judea and Samaria.
Forced to leave home Church and base, the Christians all became missionaries. Wherever they were scattered, they preached the Message about Jesus.

This new turn of events worldwide forcing the saints and Church of Jesus Christ into seclusion should be the baby steps for us today in dealing with fear, timidity and compromise, unto stirring up the awareness of our authority in Christ Jesus and the confident ability to exercise it boldly and publicly in this naturally minded society. Pressure can lead to great discoveries. If this is the way to start then start we must! We can communicate, connect, organize and minister our gifts within and/or outside Church buildings. That's maturity. Online ministry has untapped limitless potentials. And both the print and electronic media - radio, television, telephone, magazine etc. - still have a huge untapped potential the body of Christ must research on and explore.

No matter the pressure and opposition, the Church can never be stopped by the gates of hell. Hallelujah!
