Building the Right Team

The Choosing of the Seven

Acts 6:1-7 NIV

"In those days when the number of disciples was increasing, the Grecian Jews among them complained against the Hebraic Jews because their widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food. So the Twelve gathered all the disciples together and said, "It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables, Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of Spirit and wisdom, We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word." This proposal pleased the whole group, they choose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit: also Philip, Procorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas,  and Nicolas from Antioch, a convert to Judaism. They presented these men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. So the word of God spread, The number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly, and the large number of priests became obedient to the faith." 

Boldness in Christ

The Believer's Prayer

Acts 4:23-31   NKJV

"And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported all that the chief priests and elders have said to them. So when they heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said: 'Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them,' who by the mouth of David have said: 'why did the nations rage and the people plot vain things? The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord and against His Christ.' 'For truly against Your Holy Servant Jesus, whom you have anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, with the gentiles and people of Israel, were gathered together' to do whatever You hand and Your purpose determined before to be done. 'Now, Lord, look on their treats, and grant to Your servants that will all boldness they may speak your Word, 'by stretching out Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.' and when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness."

Carelessness

Read: 1 Samuel 14:24 - 52

How arrogant we are, when we carelessly carry on our plans without consulting or waiting on the Lord's answer.

Often we neglect to assess our current resources and assets, and identify if we can really move on. just so we thought we can, it doesn't mean we can also accomplish. Often, actions and words without careful considerations, leads to frustrations and failure.
