Vs. 4 has the answer – “Therefore they that were scattered abroad went everywhere preaching the word.” The SCATTERING was for the gospel to EXPLODE EVERYWHERE instead of their COMFORTABLE Jerusalem alone! They
went EVERYWHERE! Wow! God took them BY FORCE, from their COMFORT ZONES to enable them EXPAND, ENLARGE and EXPLODE!
Yea! Each time God wants to INCREASE YOU, He would allow your comfort zone be shakened! Oh, stop crying! God has a plan! Hear William Samuel johnson: “He knows not his own strength who hath not met adversity.”
