In this powerful message from Acts 24, Pastor Olubi Johnson teaches that the resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of the Christian faith—it is the power that gives meaning to our hope and steadfastness. Using the story of Paul before Felix, he warns against postponing obedience to the convictions of the Holy Spirit, as delay can harden the heart and derail divine purpose.

True spiritual leadership and promotion in God’s Kingdom are not gained through wealth or manipulation but through humility, faithfulness, and integrity. Pastor Olubi cautions believers never to compromise their faith for comfort, convenience, or material success, reminding us that compromise may offer short-term relief but brings long-term loss.

He explains that bribery, deceit, and human schemes may seem to work but place you in God’s permissive will rather than His perfect will—a dangerous exchange that can destroy destiny. If Paul had bribed Felix for freedom, he might have missed his divine mission to Rome and the eternal impact of his epistles.

The message also warns against envy and haste—two tools the enemy uses to pressure believers into compromise. God’s timing is perfect; those who wait on Him will see His promises fulfilled beautifully in due season. Even when people or systems appear wicked, God can still use them to accomplish His plan.

Finally, Pastor Olubi closes with a call to humility and dependence on divine mercy. Only the mercy of God can preserve the heart from deceit and strengthen the conscience to remain upright in a corrupt world. Integrity may cost you in the short term, but in eternity, it will prove to be your greatest gain.
