Devotion 11/1, It’s gonna be ok
[Barnabas and Paul] preached the good news in that city and won a large number of disciples. Then they returned to Lystra, Iconium and Antioch, strengthening the disciples and encouraging them to remain true to the faith.
Acts 14:21-22
Paul and Barnabas knew the importance of strengthening new and seasoned believers in the faith. The church was under serious persecution at this time and Paul wanted them to know that God had not left them, but was with them always, even in hardships.
We are to do the very same today, we are to be a source of encouragement to all believers and a witness to those who do not yet believe!
So let’s make sure we don’t JUST share the Gospel, but let’s ALSO stand by believers, check on them, strengthen them, encourage them, and equip them to serve and pass on their faith.
Loving Father, please be with the new Christians in your church and within my friendship circle. Please use me to be a consistent source of encouragement and strength for them. Please use my life as an ongoing positive influence with them. In Jesus’ name, I pray and ask for your blessing on new believers. Amen.
