Acts 28 verse 3-6

Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. 4 When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.” 5 But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects. 6 The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead; but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god. 

let me steal 6 minutes of your time, form this passage above ther's something i want to bring to your attention.

there is something called challeges or ofens in life , there is n way you can see the rising of the sun and the settle of the sun everyday without eing ofended, people ofend us directly or indirectly but i want to tell you how to deal with ofend or challeges

we are hearing of paul in the bushes with islanders in the bushes Paul was gathering woods but suddenly a vapour came up and fasten itself in his hand, it was visible for everyone who was with paul instead of them helping him they start to tallk to each other saying he must be a murder but Paul kept quiet he said nothing to them, maybe we shuld learn something befeore i continue , yousee it might be visible to evryone that you are going through some dificulty hey dnt go to them because you dnt know what they are saying about you behind your back...

The Bible says Paul kept quiet and  shook the vapour off into the fire and suffered no harm
hee when snake enters into my house and i start to make noise the snake will bite me why? a snake doesn't love sound/noise hey instead of you going around teling people how hurt you are, i dont have a problem with sharing but you must be careful with whom you share with.. this is  what am encouraging you lets do what Paul did JUST SHAKE IT OFF!


sometimes people ofend you interntionally they only want to see you suffer when we continue the bible says they were expecting paul to swell or fell down but  after waiting for  lontg time they saw no harn and changed their mind,let me tell you either you are old,young,educated or not you will always come across with challeges do not hold back just shake it off! cos when you dwell on the pastyou will never able to move on why dwell on yesterday while you are in today, to shook something off doesn't evn need energy just shake the challeges you come acoss with and they will be amased am teling you they will wait for a long time and they will see no harm in you!

do you see this girl smiling in this picture, this girl came across with so many things in life,even though i am sad i will never show it to the devil i always keep this smile, eversince i learned this secret i dnt have time to hold back, i can weep at night but joy comes in the  morning, let me share with you a certain testimony, it happened that they stole my properties early this year everything including my academic certificate, the only certificate that i was left with wasmy birth certificate but i stand firm i didn't ask why me cos i know that we will always come across challeges 

when i told my mom back at home she told the elder of my church guess wat she said it might be her boyfriend wo stole my properties, when she see me today she will just run and i will lough,cos i justshook it of she saw no harm in me now she's embarresd thats why she run when she see me.  i was so furious when my mom told me cos i didn't even one, you see  people say so many things when you tell them your problems, every difficulitities that you are coming across just shake it off and continue to worship God in the mist of the Challeges cos believe you e it is for the Glory of the Lord to be glorify.Amen
