Welcome to the living word of God in the book of Acts chapter 11 we find this
in verse 21 and the hand of the lord was with them and a great number believed and turned to the lord a great number believed and turned to the lord not because of what they can do but because the hand of the lord was with them brothers and sisters in your ministry is the lord with you are you inviting the spirit of god and god to be with you when the hand of the lord was with them a great multitude believed and turned to the lord we can do nothing on our own we cannot make people to believe and come to the food of the cross only if the hand of the lord is with us
so when they heard this they send Barnabas to be with them in Antioch in verse 24 for when for he was Barnabas was a good man full of the holy spirit and of faith three things Barnabas had brothers and sisters a good man full of holy spirit and full of faith Barnabas means encouragement oh brothers and sisters if we are to encourage our brethren if we are to encourage our neighborhood our community and the world of the love of Jesus and the soon coming the hope that we have we are to be good
