CLICK HERE TO READ BASIC SCRIPTURE 22 November 2024 Prayers and Declarations
Vs. 27 of today’s scripture says: “But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the apostles, and declared unto them how he had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had spoken to him, and how he had preached boldly at Damascus in the name of Jesus.” Note that it was BARNABAS that first reached out to the new convert CALLED Paul (Saul). THAT WAS A CARING HAND IN ACTION! The Holy Ghost is speaking to someone: BE A “BARNABAS” IN A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE WANTS TO BE A “PAUL!” Wow! Listen: Paul later became the CENTER STAGE OF THE MOVE OF GOD IN THE BOOK OF ACTS! Yet BARNABAS WAS NOT JEALOUS! Yes! He had a quarrel/ rebuke against PAUL because Paul wanted to take revenge on JOHN MARK (a weak disciple) but BARNABAS said “NO” AND THEY SEPARATED (See Acts 15: 31- 40)! BARNABAS PREFERED TO CARE THAN TO BE POPULAR! Oh, no wonder Acts 4: 36 called him, THE SON OF “CONSOLATION” (paraklesis). The original Greek word “PARAKLESIS” was also translated as “encouragement,” “consolation,” “comfort,” and “exhortation.” Listen: Many people want to be center stage, especially ministry leaders or be very visible wherever they are! THEY SEEK TO BE SEEN! They seek to be popular as PAUL was POPULAR in his generation! But there is also a significant role to play as “the son of encouragement/consolation – A “BARNABAS.” BE A BARNABAS AS 2024 SPINS TO AN END! Shalom! Shalom! Shalom! Daily Manna Today 22 November 2024

Amen, as followers of Christ we should hold to the practice of encouraging and lifting up others in their work for the Lord. Like in your post of Saul embracing his calling from the Lord, much good can come out of unlikely places and individuals. For the lack of trust the messianic Jews showed toward Paul could have derailed him and the advancement of the body of Christ but thankfully God sent a Barnabas to help.
