Lifetime Learning Lesson: Pastor Usman and his family Traveling Back from Dubai to Pakistan

Last month, on the 17th of Oct 2022, We travel to UAE- Ajman a city near Dubai from Pakistan. Lord JESUS has shown me the vision of building 25 churches in different  Muslim countries, as my origin of ministry started in a Muslim country such as Pakistan back in 2015. 

We were blessed and successfully landed to UAE- Jesus has helped us in all the arrangements – VISA, Tickets, and accommodation for 10 people etc.

I preached there in a local church and my Godly wife Asma has worship a song, everyone in the congregation were blessed with a sermon and worship session. 

Somewhere, I was not fully satisfied why Lord Jesus brought me here in Dubai from Pakistan- because I and my wife Asma running a Second Adam Ministries back in Pakistan, however Holy Spirit shown to us that we need to travel to UAE.

however, when we reached to UAE, my heart was not in peace and after staying 2 weeks in UAE, my Godly wife was sick badly and because of VISIT VISA we were unable to afford the medical treatment. I was spiritually receiving signs that we need to travel back immediately to Pakistan.

Local Pastor in UAE, also advised that it is better to travel back to home country back to Pakistan, because medical treatment is highly expensive.

We were in a great trouble, we asked for financial help to many Christian- believers however nobody were able to support us fully, because we need 7 tickets to get back to Pakistan almost $1200. 

I went into Fasting for a day and praying to Lord Jesus to provide us tickets so we can get back to Pakistan.

Miraculously, Lord Jesus has informed everyone in my circle who believes that Second Adam Ministries is not my ministry but a divinely blessed mission from Lord Jesus to Glorified His name on this earth.

 With the timely support of those Brothers and Sisters i was able to land back in Pakistan and get the medical treatment of my Godly wife.

She is fine now and back to normal. The question remains in my heart? Why did Jesus asked me at first place to travel to UAE, if He knows that my Wife could be sick there?

The following verse after a week of curiosity pop-up in front of me, while i was searching something else in scriptures.

2 Corinthians 2: 12-13: “Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and found that the Lord had opened a door for me, 13 I still had no peace of mind, because I did not find my brother Titus there. So I said goodbye to them and went on to Macedonia”

I was surprised that Apostle Paul has been in same situation, firstly Lord Jesus has shown him to travel to Troas to another place for the preaching of Gospel and then by going there Paul is not in peace. Because Paul did not find one of the Brother named Titus.

Lesson i have gained from from this scripture for myself was, first we traveled there in a hope of preaching Gospel to UAE, however, once landed there we did not find a Brother or Sister similar to us, who can speak to the Lord about our situation and guide us or help us.

The lesson was clear and straight we will move when Holy Spirit will ask us move and we will stop when Holy Spirit will ask us to stop.

Listening to the voice of Holy Spirit is so much important! Many times, we as believers easily deceived by devil and his deception. However, when you seek His Holy Spirit guidance, He will not leave to blank.

When did the Persecution of Jesus Begin?

The persecution of Jesus is one of the most heavily studied events in human history. From the moment he began his ministry, Jesus faced resistance and insults from the religious establishment of his time. He was accused of blasphemy and his teachings were deemed to be heretical. His ultimate persecution and crucifixion were the result of this long history of opposition. In this blog, we will explore the beginning of Jesus’ persecution and the timeline of events leading up to his eventual death. We will look at the various players involved and their motivations for turning on Jesus. We will also discuss the cultural and political climate of the day and its effect on the persecution of Jesus. Finally, we will discuss the implications of Jesus’ persecution and the legacy it has left on human history.

1. Jesus’ arrest in the Garden of Gethsemane

The persecution of Jesus began when he was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane following his final prayer. Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus’ twelve apostles, had agreed to betray him in exchange for money. Judas led a group of soldiers and temple guards to the Garden of Gethsemane, where they arrested Jesus at the hour of midnight. They then took him to the high priest, Caiaphas, who questioned him and eventually handed him over to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate.

2. His Appearance Before the Sanhedrin

After Jesus’ arrest, he was brought before the Sanhedrin, a Jewish judicial council composed of the high priests, elders, and scribes. During the hearing, Jesus was asked about his identity and teachings, but he refused to answer any of their questions. As a result, the Sanhedrin accused him of blasphemy, which was punishable by death. They then sent Jesus to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, hoping to have him sentenced to death. This marked the beginning of the persecution of Jesus, leading to his eventual crucifixion.

3. His trial before Pilate

After being arrested, Jesus was brought before Pontius Pilate, the Roman Governor of Judea. Jesus was questioned by Pilate, who found no fault in him and concluded that Jesus was being persecuted out of envy. Despite Pilate’s decision, the crowd called for Jesus to be crucified. Pilate asked them what he should do with Jesus and they responded, “Crucify him!” Against his own judgment, Pilate handed Jesus over to be crucified.

4. His Crucifixion

Jesus’ persecution culminated in his crucifixion on the orders of Pontius Pilate, the Roman prefect of Judea. After being flogged, Jesus was forced to carry his own cross to the place of his execution, where he was then nailed to the cross and hung in agony. While he was on the cross, he was mocked and derided by the people and Roman soldiers who had gathered to watch his death. After a few hours, Jesus died and was buried in a nearby tomb. His death marked the end of his persecution and his resurrection three days later was the beginning of the fulfillment of the prophecies of the Old Testament.

5. His Resurrection and Ascension

After Jesus was arrested, he was tried and found guilty of blasphemy by the Sanhedrin, the Jewish ruling council. He was then taken to the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, who condemned him to death. Jesus was crucified and died on the cross.

 

Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead and appeared to his disciples, proving he had conquered death. This resurrection and ascension marked the end of Jesus’ sufferings and the beginning of his vindication and glory.

 

In conclusion, the persecution of Jesus Christ began even before His arrest and trial. It started with the Jewish religious leaders who opposed Him and sought to have Him killed. This persecution has continued throughout history and still exists today, in various forms and contexts. Such persecution is part of the Christian experience and a reminder of the great cost of following and believing in Jesus Christ.

How has Technology Affected Christianity?

One way that technology has changed Christianity is by providing more access to information. In the past, people who wanted to learn about Christianity had to rely on the resources available to them, which were often limited. Today, there is a wealth of information available online, from articles and blog posts to entire websites and online courses. This abundance of resources has made it easier for people to learn about Christianity and to find answers to their questions.

Christians have long been at the forefront of utilizing new technology in order to spread the gospel and connect with others. In the early days of the Church, Christians used hand-written scrolls and pamphlets to share their faith with others. As printing presses became more prevalent, Christians were quick to use this new technology to print Bibles and religious texts. In the modern era, Christians have continued to use technology to their advantage, using the internet to create websites, blogs, and social media accounts devoted to sharing the Christian message.

Technology has made it Possible for us to Connect with other Christians Around the World.

Technology has made it possible for us to connect with other Christians around the world. This has had a profound effect on Christianity. We are now able to connect with people who share our beliefs and values, regardless of location. This has led to a global community of Christians who can support and encourage each other.

Christianity has always been a religion that has adapted to the times. In the past, Christians would have to meet in person to discuss their faith and pray together. However, technology has made it possible for us to connect with other Christians online. We can now join discussion forums,watch sermons online, and even participate in online Bible studies.

This global community of Christians has been a great blessing. Technology has allowed us to connect with other believers who can offer support and encouragement. In a world that is often hostile to Christianity, it is great to have this online community to fall back on.

Technology has Given us new Ways to share our Faith with Others.

Technology has impacted Christianity in a number of positive ways. It has given us new ways to share our faith with others and connect with like-minded people. It has also helped us to spread the gospel to a wider audience. Additionally, technology has made it easier for us to find and connect with Christian resources and support.

Technology has changed the way we live and communicate in so many ways, and Christianity is no exception. The way we share our faith with others has been transformed by technology, and there are now more opportunities than ever before to connect with others and share the Good News.

The rise of technology has given Christians new ways to share their faith with others. Through social media and other online platforms, Christians are able to connect with people all over the world and share the Good News. Additionally, technology has also allowed Christians to create digital resources that can be used to evangelize and discipline others. In a world that is increasingly connected, technology is providing new opportunities for Christians to reach out and impact others for the Kingdom.

Technology has made it easier to find and study Scripture.

Technology has had a profound effect on Christianity. It has made it easier to find and study Scripture, as well as to connect with other Christians around the world. Technology has also allowed for the spread of the gospel to people who may not have had access to it otherwise. While there are many positive ways that technology has affected Christianity, there are also some negative ways. 

Some people have become too reliant on technology, and this has led to a decline in church attendance and involvement. Additionally, some people have used technology to spread false information about Christianity, which has caused confusion and division among believers. Despite the challenges, technology has overall had a positive impact on Christianity, and it will continue to be a valuable tool for believers in the years to come.

Whether we like it or not, technology has changed the world and the way we live in it. It’s also had an impact on Christianity. While some may see this as a negative, I believe that, overall, technology has made it easier to find and study Scripture.
