You Made Me Brave // Pastor Cecil Mathew

You Make Me Brave | Pastor Cecil MathewWhat do you do when opposition comes? How do you respond when challenges, criticism, and spiritual battles threaten to discourage you from fulfilling God's purpose?In this powerful message from Acts 5:17–42, Pastor Cecil Mathew reminds us that victory belongs to those who refuse to quit. As the early church faced persecution, imprisonment, and threats, God continued to advance His kingdom and amplify the voice of His people.Through the story of the apostles and the wisdom of Gamaliel, we are challenged to remain faithful, reject jealousy, and trust that what God begins, no opposition can ultimately overthrow. When God is at work, no plan of the enemy and no gates of hell can prevail.If you're facing resistance, uncertainty, or discouragement, this message will encourage you to stand firm, trust God's calling, and embrace the courage that comes from Him.Scripture: Acts 5:17–42Speaker: Pastor Cecil MathewTopics Covered:• Standing firm in the face of opposition• Why spiritual resistance can be a sign of God's work• Overcoming jealousy and comparison• The unstoppable power of the Church• Remaining faithful to God's calling• Finding courage through the Holy Spirit"But if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them.
