Acts 6:1
“Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution.”
“These days”, are the days when the gospel is spreading, souls are being saved and Satan has tried to destroy this infant Church through persecution from without, then by deception within and now seeks to sow seeds of dissension inside. The church is growing and growing always comes with growing pains
As numbers go up
Complaining goes up
Growth is not easy, and growth is not automatic. Growth; you have to pray for it, (constantly and continually) you have to plan for it, you have to keep praying, you have to work for it, you have to keep praying, and you have to cultivate and water something if you want it to grow. But still
GOD MUST GIVE THE INCREASE. Father God, thank You for growing me towards You, and Your Church in Your name. Compel me to pray more often, deeper, and with a wider band for seeking Your Presence, and allowing Your Presence to grow me, and Your church together, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Pray, pray more, and pray again
