THE APOSTLE PAUL – LESSON 41

THIRD MISSIONARY JOURNEY PART 6

AGABUS PROPHECY

 

As Paul made his way to Jerusalem, he first stopped in Caesarea and stayed many days at the house of Philip, the evangelist and deacon. All the believers met there with him.

 

One of them was a well-known prophet named Agabus. The Holy Ghost showed Agabus what awaited Paul at Jerusalem. To illustrate the message (Acts 21:10-11), he took Paul’s “girdle” (belt or sash), then Agabus bound (tied up) his own feet and hands with it. He said that in like manner the Jews would bind Paul and deliver him into the hands of the gentiles as a prisoner.

 

Everyone then pleaded with Paul to not go to Jerusalem. Paul’s answer in verse 13 was that he was willing to suffer whatever might befall him at Jerusalem, even to the point of death if need be.

 

When they ascertained his resolve to go, they ceased urging and submitted Paul to the Lord’s will. The prophecy was not given to turn Paul away from his destiny, but to let him know of the hardship to come so he could be spiritually and physically prepared to endure it.

 

The people’s initial reaction to Agabus’ prophecy was an emotional one based on their love for their brother, which was a natural act of human compassion. This they had to set aside and let God’s will take its course with Paul.

 

Our will and desires often get in the way of what God desires to accomplish through us or our loved ones. We need to tune our ears to Holy Spirit rather than our own human spirit.

ROOTBOUND

 

I like to grow houseplants and other plants. I have started many avocados and one is now in my yard and is about 13 feet tall. It produced avocados for the first time this year. There is a feeling of accomplishment that this tree has grown. It started in a glass jar. The roots grow down first then a shoot grows up. The shoot will grow leaves and continue to grow taller. When the roots fill the jar, it has to be transplanted into a bigger pot because the plant will not grow if it is rootbound. Then, after it reaches a certain height, it will once again need to be transplanted because the roots are rootbound again. Eventually, in order for it to become a tree it has to be put into the ground with no restrictions to its growth. It takes time to go through the stages, but each is necessary to get the end results which is fruit.

 

I think we are a lot like plants. We are a seed planted in our mother’s womb that grows until it is time for birth. Then against all obstacles when the pressure is applied, we come forth. Yet that is just the beginning. We can’t stay in the baby stage, or we will be stunted for life. Sometimes we are uprooted from our natural mother and placed into an environment that is not familiar. This is never easy, but we can grow wherever God plants us.

 

Through our growth stage, there may be some cutting back, but when we get to a place where things seem comfortable often it is because we are rootbound. In order to grow more we have to be uprooted and placed in a different environment. It may seem really uncomfortable to be moved out of all that has been familiar, but in order for more growth to take place and fruit to come, this uprooting has to take place.

 

Do you find yourself at that place where you have been rootbound and God is letting you know that there is a new “growing season” for you? You have a choice when this takes place. You can stay where you are comfortable, or you can go with the change of being uprooted so you can grow. The whole process is done so you can be more fruitful. Painful? Yes. Necessary? Yes, but the end results are worth it.

 

The choice is ours. God never forces us to be uprooted. If you have been desiring more fruit in your life, don’t be surprised when you are uprooted and transplanted into a “bigger pot” or to a place where there are no limits. My suggestion is “don’t stay rootbound.”

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION


Be sure to enjoy the little things in life; Because one day you’ll look back & realize they really were the BIG things. Yes, enjoy every mile of your journey...For life is a short journey at best. So LOVE hard, LAUGH often & FORGIVE quickly; For life is much too short to hold any GRUDGES. Therefore never go to bed or leave your house upset with family, friend or foe. Remember to settle all scores before the sun goes down...You may never live to see another sunrise. Just think about it; And live your life to the FULLEST...ALL DAY...EVERYDAY. Most importantly make sure that your heart is right to meet God. After all you never know when you will draw your final breath. “How do you know what your life will be like tomorrow? Your life is like the morning fog; It’s here a little while, then it’s gone.” (James‬ ‭4:14‬ ‭‬‬) Yes, one day you will draw your last breath; So make the most of every day that you have left. Stay blessed
