The Path to Rome

Acts 27:24~25 │ “...and he said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul; you must stand before Caesar. And behold, God has granted you all those who sail with you.’ So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.”

Hymn #429 When Upon Life’s Billows (Unified Hymn #489)

There are times when you face storms in life. However, those who know God’s plan aren’t discouraged or afraid. Also, those who know God’s time schedule aren’t deceived just by solely looking at reality. In addition, those who have God’s mission are humble yet bold. Paul who was like this was aware of the reasons. Then, what are those reasons?

1. Paul Knew the Reason Why He Had to Go to Rome
Paul was aware why he had to go to powerful nations. He knew that if the Gospel was testified to powerful nations that seized the world’s politics, economy, and culture, the influence of the Gospel would affect the world. Although the ship heading to Rome was on the verge of capsizing due to a storm, Paul reassured those on the ship and confessed, “So take heart, men, for I have faith in God that it will be exactly as I have been told.”

2. Those Who Know God’s Reason
Empty places that need to hear the Gospel are increasing and those who are spiritually ill are becoming more and more prevalent. God is looking for someone who knows the mission and reason to testify “only Gospel” in this age that has met a terrible storm.

Remnants who take time every day to ask questions before God will discover His time and reason and accomplish the works that He desires.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, thank you for raising me on the path to Rome. Please guide me to become a person who relays the Gospel holding onto the accurate reason and help me to remain within Your time schedule. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

[Deep Questions]
Q. How Can You Discover “Your God-Given Mission?”

Since God is omniscient, not a single incident in your life happens inadvertently.

There is a reason for your family background, personality, disposition, talents, as well as your weaknesses and scars.

God has hidden the mission that you must carry out within them.
