You must have eyes to correctly see problems. God's plans are hidden in what He considers the most problematic. Before that, there's something that you must know. First, you shouldn't call something that isn't a problem a problem. In actuality, a problem is a stepping stone and an opportunity to have your prayers answered. Second, the most important aspect in your walk of faith is distinguishing between real problems and fake problems. When people looked at Paul, he was in the most difficult hardship. He had become a prisoner and would soon be tried. However, Paul saw that as his greatest opportunity. He was trying to get legal confirmation that problems didn't exist in preaching the Gospel before the Roman emperor. Then, what is your real problem?
1. The Impending Disaster of Israel and the Problems of the Posterity
In AD 70, Israel was destroyed and its descendants were scattered throughout the world. Within this, true disciples were set apart. The Jewish people had to receive the Gospel to survive even if they were scattered. To prepare for that, Paul went to Rome. Just like Paul's prayer, your prayer can save the posterity and the nation. Pastors must be raised to carry out the evangelism movement to prevent disasters and problems of the posterity.
2. The Peal Problem in the Field of Philippi
God blocked all of Paul's evangelism doors and led him to Philippi which was a commercial hub which had developed to the point where a highway connecting Europe and Asia was built. Because Philippi had to be evangelized, Paul appealed to the Roman emperor. Like this, you must know the problems of your family line; the posterity; your field; and possess answers.
3. The Real Problem of Rome, the Powerful Country That Destroyed the 237 Nations
Rome created a path to the world and destroyed the 237 nations. However, Paul knew that he had to testify the Gospel in Rome. To Paul, God was with him in power.
When problems come, you should pray with thanksgiving and joy because you're within the blessing to continue the Gospel movement until the end. Ultimately, you must discern what's best; see God's plan; and begin the real challenge.
[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, I know that You, who saved me, will grant me the strength to save many people. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
