TOPIC : THE POWER OF SACRIFICE
TEXT ACTS 4 : 34-37
[34]Neither was there any among them that lacked: for as many as were possessors of lands or houses sold them, and brought the prices of the things that were sold,
[35]And laid them down at the apostles' feet: and distribution was made unto every man according as he had need.
[36]And Joses, who by the apostles was surnamed Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus,
[37]Having land, sold it, and brought the money, and laid it at the apostles' feet.
The success of the early church was anchored in the power of sacrifice.
The Bible said that the believers sold their properties and brought the money to the disciples to use in order to meet the needs of all.
Joses sold a field and brought the whole money an laid it at the feet of the disciples, they were so moved that they changed his name to Barnabas, meaning "son of consolation".
The blood of Jesus purchased the new covenant Church, but men and women keep on bleeding with sacrifices to sustain the Church.
In which way are you bleeding for the growth of your local church?
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
