Honoring God’s Work, Conclusion

Read Acts 28:1-10

There are vipers trying to hold us back from honoring God’s work. These vipers want to steal that work away from us. Satan knows when you are down. He sends vipers into your life to keep you from ministry and to keep you from returning to ministry.

God’s also knows when we are down. He gives us power to shake off those vipers. When God sees us down, He reaches where we are to help us stand up!
  • You may be out of work – don’t let the viper of fear or depression overtake you! Shake it off!
  • You may be suffering from sickness or injury – don’t let the viper of despair demoralize you. Shake it off!
  • You may be suffering financial crisis – don’t let that viper hold you down. Shake it off!
  • You may feel like you life is out of control – shake off the viper!

Don’t let Satan steal your ministry. Don’t let vipers turn your attention away from God’s work in you. Shake it off! Immerse yourself in the power God is giving you for your crisis.

Then, use God’s power to serve others as a means of glorifying Him.

If you are tired of vipers trying to steal your ministry, then this is a time when you need to let others come to you and pray and lay hands on you. I do not have the power to look inside you. Yet, I do know the power that wants to release you!

God shook the foundations of that society, and He is looking to shake up this community as well. Are you prepared to let God empower you to continue promoting, advancing, and elevating His work? Are you ready to shake off those vipers trying to steal your ministry?
