INTRODUCTION:
There are 3 types of adversities: physical, emotional and spiritual.
Living a full life in God allows me to correctly face spiritual adversities, and to face
physical and emotional adversities I must consider some principles.
FACING ADVERSITY
Today's Word aims to embrace the correct attitude to overcome a past crisis, a
future one, or the current one “The coronavirus and its economic consequences”
And in this time of coronavirus it is crucial to equip ourselves with the necessary
weapons to “face adversity”
The following texts teaches us about 2 men who faced spiritual, physical and
emotional adversities.
This happened in the Philippi region, Macedonia province.
Acts 16:22-35 “
22 Then the multitude rose up together against them; and the
magistrates tore off their clothes and commanded them to be beaten with rods.
23And when they had laid many stripes on them, they threw them into prison,
commanding the jailer to keep them securely.
24Having received such a charge, he put them into the inner prison and fastened
their feet in the stocks.
25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and
the prisoners were listening to them.
26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison
were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains
were loosed.
27And the keeper of the prison, awaking from sleep and seeing the prison doors
open, supposing the prisoners had fled, drew his sword and was about to kill
himself.
28 But Paul called with a loud voice, saying, “Do yourself no harm, for we are all
here.”
29 Then he called for a light, ran in, and fell down trembling before Paul and
Silas.

30And he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?”
31 So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and
your household.”
32 Then they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house.
33And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their stripes. And
immediately he and all his family were baptized.
34Now when he had brought them into his house, he set food before them; and
he rejoiced, having believed in God with all his household.
35And when it was day, the magistrates sent the officers, saying, “Let those men
go.”
