7 chosen men.

Acts chapter 6 verses 1 thru 7. A complaint started this. Widows not being taken care of? Wow. Hellenist against Hebrews. What about other issues of neglect? This particular scripture does not say. The Apostles continued to go house to house everyday teaching and preaching that...notice the wording....the Christ....sin Jesus. I love it. Back to the main topic. 7 men were picked to carry out this business. Some say these were the first Deacons. The word deacon is not mentioned in this scripture. Now of course it is mentioned and other New Testament books of the Bible. But, the Apostle said that it was not right for them to give up preaching the word of God to serve tables. That sounds a little bit arrogant. But is true. There should be many men willing and able, have not been called to preach or teach necessarily that can handle other duties of the church. So in this scripture, the names of 7 men were given, there was an ordination type service, even though and this particular scripture was not called that, the apostles laid hands on these men and prayed for them.These men were full of faith and the Holy Spirit. What followed was much more growth in the church, which were called disciples.The Bible says Priest became obedient. All this....in Jerusalem. What this tells me is that if your not qualified for being a deacon or Pastor...there are more things you can do to help further the Kingdom that belongs to our Precious merciful Savior Jesus Christ. And it will please Him. Don't be jealous, or upset. Everything we do, is for the GLORY of God. Not us. Spread the gospel with what ur given. Brothers and sisters have many needs to be met. Be honored to help. God will bless you. Remember the Jewish spy's that were hidden by a lady...and God saved her life and blessed her actions. The lost world will know that we are of God,when we love one another. Not fight nor backbite with our tongues.Study the 6th chapter of Acts.God bless his church.Amen. 

A prayer:Give your people wisdom to spread your word and meet practical needs .Raise up leaders full of faith and your spirit. Amen.
