“THE ADJECTIVES OF A MAN OF GOD!”
Acts 11:24
“He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and of faith. And a great many people were added to the Lord.”
What adjectives would someone use if they were asked to describe your character? Have you ever considered that question? Would you have to close your ears so you would not feel embarrassed by their negative comments? We have in today’s Scripture the glowing adjectives used to describe our dear friend Barnabas.
The first adjective is good. That word implies that he had merit and a reputation for doing the right thing at the right time. A good reputation qualified Barnabas to be trusted for service to the Lord and the early church.
He was also a man that was full of the Holy Spirit. That necessitated him to be empty of self. It is impossible to be full of the Holy Spirit and full of yourself at the same time. A spirit-filled believer must increasingly have more of Christ and less of self.
The final adjective mentioned was that he was full of faith. Barnabas was a believer who let go of any sense of self-importance in order to allow the Lord to accomplish His work through him. Oh, for more believers who would live their life in such a manner as Barnabas!
Blessings dear hearts. Draw near to God today, trust Him completely and be a blessing!
