Daily Devotions: When Your Enemies Learn of Your Success - April 30, 2026

John 4:1–3 (ESV) - “Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples), he left Judea and departed again for Galilee.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall teaches an important lesson about handling success with wisdom and humility. Even as Jesus experienced growing influence and success, He chose to withdraw rather than provoke unnecessary conflict, showing that success is not something to flaunt or use to create tension. Pastor Sumrall explains that there are times when stepping back is the wisest move, especially when there is a greater purpose at hand. Jesus understood His mission and timing, and He did not allow success to distract Him from God’s bigger plan. As you watch this episode, be encouraged to handle success with maturity, knowing when to move forward and when to step back, so that you can stay aligned with God’s purpose and timing for your life. ----- Don’t forget to like, subscribe to Cathedral of Praise TV https://www.youtube.com/c/cathedralofpraiseTV/?sub_confirmation=1,and hit the bell icon 🔔 to stay updated.
