‘One day as these men were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Appoint Barnabas and Saul for the special work to which I have called them.” So after more fasting and prayer, the men laid their hands on them and sent them on their way’ (Acts 13:2-3 NLT).
Imagine attending a worship service that ends not with an invitation to lunch, but with a commissioning service that puts you on the next boat going out to sea. That’s what happened with Barnabas and “Saul” (“Paul”).
O to have worship services so Spirit-filled that people immediately surrender to do what God has called them to do. May churches around the world begin to experience an Antioch revival, a church known not for its seating capacity, but its sending capacity. Antioch is called the “Cradle of Christianity,” where the Spirit called, and the people obeyed and went.
Remember dear believer, we are sent!
PRAYER: Dear Father, may we begin to see the Spirit move in the Church today as they did at Antioch. We pray for revival in our city, country and world. Spirit move. The only movement we want to follow is Yours. Revive us O God. In Jesus’ name, amen.
