For the next two years, Paul lived in Rome at his own expense. He welcomed all who visited him boldly proclaiming the Kingdom of God and teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ. And no one tried to stop him. – Acts 28:30-31(NLT)
BOLDLY PROCLAIM AND TEACH THE GOSPEL
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you have any occasions to tell about Jesus?
Go out and tell everyone the Good News
God wants you to spread the gospel everywhere
He wants you to be brave and boldly declare.
Whenever you proclaim his words and truth
You are planting seeds which will bear fruits
Do not be afraid for God will be with you always
He will equip you with his strength in many ways.

Some believers take God’s instructions seriously, but sadly, some don’t. I think it is very essential for a believer to recognize God’s spirit, especially when he is instructing and teaching us something. Oftentimes, we miss out on what he is convicting us with and we go on with our willful ways. The bible tells us to declare his glory among the nations in Psalm 96:3.
Paul did exactly as God instructed. He taught and preached about the Lord Jesus Christ with boldness and passion. He was driven to do all of this because the Spirit of God was in him. He was empowered by the Holy Spirit to proclaim the Kingdom of God wherever he was.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to boldly proclaim your kingdom when I get a chance to.
REFLECTION
When was the last time you proclaimed His word?
