He knows!

Pastor Leon’s SOAP:  Scripture, Observation, Application, Prayer
February 16, 2025: SOAP #5554:  Leviticus 26-27; Acts 23

SCRIPTURE:  Acts (NIV) 23:11 The following night the Lord stood near Paul and said, “Take courage!  As you have testified about me in Jerusalem so you must also testify in Rome.”

OBSERVATION:   Paul could be encouraged because of four things:  First: the Lord was with him!   Second: The Lord spoke to him!  Third: The Lord knew what he had been doing and was aware of his situation!  Fourth: The Lord had future plans for him!       

APPLICATION:   Bus driving is over for me, but the Lord is with me!  The Lord speaks to me!  The Lord knows what I have been doing!  The Lord still has plans for SOAP ministry and for me!   I am encouraged in the Lord!    

PRAYER:   Lord, thank you for the power of your Presence.  Thank you for the strength of your Word.  Thank you for the comfort of knowing that you are aware of my circumstances.  Thank you for the joy of knowing you still have things for me to do!  Thank you for the joy of seeing the SOAP ministry being used in Africa.  I am humbled!  Amen

On Facebook:  Today’s SOAP from Pastor Leon

Pastor Andrew and Bishop Emmanuel have finished two days of SOAP conferences in Mali.  It is a French speaking country and predominately Muslim.  27,000 people attended the two conferences and there were “17,000 people who gave their life to Jesus.”  They will be having four days of discipleship training and establishing 5 new churches before leaving for Cote d’Ivoire on Wednesday.  They are also looking for money to have some Bibles purchased and shipped in from Sierra Leone.  They have found no Bibles for sale in Mali.  Some pastors do not have Bibles.   In many ways, this is a Book of Acts journey.  Keep this ministry team in your prayers.
