Acts, Chapter 5,
verse 26
26 Then the captain
and the court officers went and brought them in, but without force, because
they were afraid of being stoned by the people.
The
apostles were brought before the Sanhedrin for trial.
These temple priests which were instrumental in causing the crucifixion of
Christ were now inflamed with jealousy over the apostles; who by the
resurrection of Christ no longer feared death or taxes. (Happy tax day). The people began to believe and the world was
never the same.
The
apostles after their release immediately resumed public teaching they rendered unto
God what was God’s.
The
apostles filled with the Holy Spirit were not afraid anymore. They practiced
obedience, commitment, healthy relationships and faith. They enabled the church
to grow by their seven P’s of
leadership[1]
·
Purity-the apostles
insisted on the truth and integrity.
·
Power-they healed
broken minds and bodies.
·
Persecution-they were
convicted and stood their ground in opposition.
·
Proclamation-they proclaimed
the good news to all.
·
Priorities-They made
Christ their first priority.
·
Praise-They were
humble, grateful for joys and sorrows and praised God for everything.
·
Perseverance-they
kept on spreading the good news with conviction; throwing caution to the wind.
