Follow God's Lead (Make your nickname be Barnabas!!!)

Event: The Believers Share their Possessions  



S - Scripture
Acts 4 v. 36-37  Joseph, surnamed Barnabas (which means encouragement) sold a field which belonged to him, and brought the money and laid it at the apostles feet.

O - Observation
Following God's lead. Leading by example. I love this guy. Its only appropriate that a man nicknamed, “Encouragement”, would commit an act that would fuel encouragement. I love this guy not because he was told to do something and he did. No. This guy recognized Psalm 24 v. 1, "The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof." What he had, what possessions he possed, were gifts from God. So why not be generous with what he has? After all, he's simply a steward of these things anyways. Knowing and thinking in our mind what to do is one thing. Acting on it, is another. Following God's lead will reward you and encourage others.

A - Application
Are you following God's lead? Could we nickname you Barnabas?

P - Prayer
Jesus, Give me the courage to say and DO!!   Love Will
