Acts 16:25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. In God’s economy “clocks, calendar and calculators” start and stop at God’s command. As God’s wall clock struck twelve midnight, the angels of the Lord started shaking the foundations of the city of Phillipa where Paul and Silas were flogged, severely beaten, and imprisoned. Angels are very experienced ‘earthquakers’. They shook the foundations of the walls of Jericho and collapsed it centuries ago for Joshua and his fighting men. They did the same to Phillipa. The hands of God’s clock come together...

In Paul’s missionary journey, there was a dark phase where he struggled to align with God’s clock and...

1 Kings 18:17-18 When he/(Ahab) saw Elijah, he said to him, “Is that you, you troubler of Israel?” “I have not made trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied. “But you and your father’s family have. You have abandoned the Lord’s commands and have followed the Baals.  “Sore Thumb sticks out.” The root of mockery and dissension springs from arrogance and pride. The proud and arrogant person—“Mocker” is his name— behaves with insolent fury (Proverbs 21:24). Rebellion, envy and pride can blind the eyes of a person to the truth of the Gospel. Elijah was a radical and dynamic prophet but King Ahab addressed...
