The twelve apostles had the followings advice for Christians when the number of disciples began to multiply. They said, “Seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.” [1]
I am grateful to God for people of good reputation who are filled with the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit gives people wisdom. I have had the privilege to serve alongside such people. In each case, I saw the Word of God spread, the number of disciples multiplied.
“Then the Word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith.” [2]
“Lord Jesus, thank You for creating people of good reputation by Your Spirit and bestowing on them the wisdom to serve You well. Thank You for spiritual leaders who are obedient to the faith. I am grateful for them and praise You for them.”
[1] Acts 6:3
[2] Acts 6:7
Bearing witness to the Word of God and to the testimony of Jesus!
