The next city that Paul and Barnabas came to was Iconium. The message that they preached in the synagogue brought a great multitude of Jews and Greeks to the Lord. The unbelievers made the minds of others to be evil affected against the brethren. God used this opposition for the spread of the gospel. As a result, they fled to Lystra and Derbe where the gospel was preached. In Lystra, Paul healed a man who was crippled. When people saw what was done, they said in the speech of Lycaonia, “The gods are come down to us in the likeness of men.” They were heathen and had no knowledge of the only true God. The apostles told them about the living God, which made heaven and earth. This God did not leave Himself without witness, for He sent rain and fruitful seasons, showing that He was good.
After returning to Antioch, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, not what they had done for God. We should always acknowledge God in all our ways (Proverbs 3:66In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths. (Proverbs 3:6)).
