My parents were once part of a delegation in the early 1980’s led by their Pastor who met Mrs. Indira Gandhi, the then Prime Minister of India. They shared the gospel with her, gave her a Bible and also prayed for her. I saw the pictures and realize how wonderful it was to take the gospel to the authorities who are rarely reachable.
Acts 4:5-12
12 Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.”

Peter and John were arrested and it was not a good thing for sure. But the flip side of it was that they got to witness to the high authorities in Israel. God brought something really good out of it. The High Priest and the Sanhedrin would rarely make it to any of the House Church meeting or personal witnessing. But God brings out something great out of this arrest. The big shots get to hear the true and real gospel.
Several times when we end up in some kind of mess we feel that’s the end of the world for us. Honestly speaking God doesn’t like us to be there. But He makes use of the situation to do something great. Let’s give our hardships in the hands of God and let Him turn the mess into message.
