(Acts 28:1-2 NIV) Once safely on shore, we found out that the island was called Malta. (2) The islanders showed us unusual kindness. They built a fire and welcomed us all because it was raining and cold. (?? 28:1-2 JCB)?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? -Paul landed on the beach in good heart and ready for the next season. (Not a victim but an overcomer) -People showed "NOT ordinary kindness" - Kindness that “Hit the spot” "Hit the bullseye” -God will give back in great relationships forged in the darkness. Treasures in the darkness. 2.The Snakebite ??????? (Acts 28:3-6 NIV) Paul gathered a pile of brushwood and, as he put it on the fire, a viper, driven out by the heat, fastened itself on his hand. (4) When the islanders saw the snake hanging from his hand, they said to each other, “This man must be a murderer; for though he escaped from the sea, the goddess Justice has not allowed him to live.” (5) But Paul shook the snake off into the fire and suffered no ill effects. (6) The people expected him to swell up or suddenly fall dead; but after waiting a long time and seeing nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and said he was a god. (?? 28:3-6 JCB)??????????????????????????????????????????????(4)??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????(5)??????????????????????????????????????(6)???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? -viper - laid hold of his hand - to attack, seize hold of. -Bad karma, right? No, God’s will. serpent, snake, viper. (literally) a poisonous snake; (figuratively) incisive words that deliver deadly venom.

They kept on looking, they kept on seeing ‘nothing out of place’.

(?? 10:19 ALIVE?)??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? -Over time, they changed their minds about Paul. (Sometimes it takes time - Outlive your opposition). 3.Our victory opens the door for miracles ?????????? (Acts 28:7-9 NIV) There was an estate nearby that belonged to Publius, the chief official of the island. He welcomed us to his home and showed us generous hospitality for three days. (8) His father was sick in bed, suffering from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed his hands on him and healed him. (9) When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came and were cured. (?? 28:7-9 JCB)???????????????????????????????????????????????????????(8)????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????(9)???????????????????????????????????? {Like us in Seibika investigation. through successful evangelism.
