A Devotion That Nobody Else Can DoThe Believer’s Journey
Acts 6:1~7│ “Therefore, brothers, pick out from among you seven men
of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint
to this duty.
But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” (3~4)
God is asking believers to give devotion that nobody else can offer.
The believers in today's Bible verse received a mission after hearing
the Covenant Journey that Jesus spoke about for forty days.
They were the ones who possessed eternal life and knew the value
of the life movement. Furthermore, they went on the journey of believers
who risked their lives. What kind of journey did they go on?
1.The Start of the JourneyActs 1:14
The journey began when those who held onto the covenant of Calvary, the Mt.
of Olives, and Mark's upper roomActs 1:1~8 devoted themselves to prayer.
After that, they experienced the works of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2,
God’s Word flourished, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased. Subsequently, Deacon Stephen was martyred, and the Gospel began to be witnessed from Samaria to the end of the earth.
2.The Process and Result of the Journey
At that time, those who were scattered because of the tribulation caused
by Stephen’s death began to spread the Gospel.
Eventually, the figures of Romans 16 who evangelized
Rome were established. They were the patrons, fellow workers,
and hosts of the evangelists. In other words,
they were the “Secret Squad,” the “Remnant Ministry,” and the “Holy Mason.”
God has called you to do this work.
This is the task that only you can do.
In addition, you can discover your God-given personal covenant.
God knows that you don’t possess any power.
That’s why He has given you “only covenant.” Correctly grab hold of this
covenant and enjoy it through prayer.
