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.”

[2] Acts 6:7
21st Century Jeremiah is a publishing site that is managed and operated by Mark Czanderna for the expressed purpose to provide for you free Bible-based and Christ-exalting resources. My goal is to align myself with the prophetic words of God as carefully and accurately as Jeremiah the prophet did in his day, but include the additional revelations that the Lord Jesus Christ provided for us in the Gospels, the Book of Acts, the Epistles of the Apostles and the Book of Revelation.
