Acts 11:21 – “And the hand of the Lord was with them, and a large number who believed turned to the Lord.”
In my last post I spoke of the primary source God uses to build His Church. It is the Word of God! Reading through Acts you discover where the word was preached the number of disciples grew.
However, I left out a very important component to this church growth movement. “The Hand of the Lord was with them!” It must also be with us as well. Study, preach and proclaim God’s word with all your might, yet unless the hand of the Lord is with us, we labor in vain. Thus, with the preaching we must pray ferevently that the hand of the Lord would be with us in the proclaiming of His word.
Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Ps 127:1 KJV
