Immediately he preached
the Christ in the synagogues, that He is the Son of God.
Then all who heard were amazed, and said, “Is this not he who destroyed those who called on this name in Jerusalem, and has come here for that purpose, so that he might bring them bound to the chief priests?”
But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who dwelt in Damascus, proving that this Jesus is the Christ.
Now after many days were past, the Jews plotted to kill him. But their plot became known to Saul. And they watched the gates day and night, to kill him. Then the disciples took him by night and let him down through the wall in a large basket.

Then Saul, still
breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the
high priest and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that
if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them
bound to Jerusalem.
As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven.

Then he fell to the
ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting
Me?”
And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”
Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”
So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”
Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”
And the men who journeyed with him stood speechless, hearing a voice but seeing no one. Then Saul arose from the ground, and when his eyes were opened he saw no one. But they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. And he was three days without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

No one is disqualified, no
matter who you are, what you have done or what you are doing the Father wants
and has a purpose for you in His Kingdom.
“Oh but Sipokazi you don’t know
what I have done”
I don’t but He does and still
wants you for He has great plans for His Kingdom through you.
The same man we read about
today planted so many churches and most of the new testament 13 letters or
books of the new testament.
