TREM DAILY DEVOTIONAL 13TH JULY- WHEN YOU ARE NO LONGER IN THE SPOTLIGHT

“Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia….” Acts 13:13

“Now when Paul and his company….” It didn’t say Barnabas and his company. But in Acts 13:2, it was “Barnabas and Paul” It means, therefore, that at a certain point, Paul began to play a leading role. You will notice the scripture says; Paul and Barnabas, not Barnabas and Paul (Acts 13:43, 46, 50). Why is that important? It is important because some of us don’t know that those that you raised will at a stage attain the spotlight. And when they are in the spotlight, what is your reaction? How do you behave? When the people you raised are now in the spotlight and you are not there, do you quench their light?
