START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION
(KJV) Acts 9:15-16
15 But the Lord said unto him, Go thy way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Israel:
16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name’s sake.
SUFFER FOR MY NAME / ACTS 9:15-16
Saul’s (Paul’s) spiritual transformation not only involved a commission to preach the message of Christ, but also a call to suffer for the cause of Christ. In Christ’s kingdom, suffering for His sake is a sign of God’s highest favor (Acts 14:22; Matthew 5:11-12; Romans 8:17; 2 Timothy 2:12). It is often the way to a truly fruitful and effective ministry (John 12:24; 2 Corinthians 1:3-6), and it results in great reward in heaven (Matthew 5:12; 2 Timothy 2:12). A follower of Christ must experience this process of “dying to self” (rejecting and becoming unresponsive to sin and selfish desires) on a daily basis (Romans 6:2-11; 8:10-14; 1 Corinthians 15:31). “Dying to self” allows believers to experience God’s life flowing through them, bringing God’s love and salvation to others (Romans 8:17-18, 36-37; 2 Corinthians 4:10-12).
