Acts 11:24 New International Version (NIV)
24 He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and
faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.
Barnabas was a good man! Why? For many reasons. But, the key
reason was that he was full of faith and the Holy Spirit. This shouldn't
surprise us. When the Holy Spirit lives in us, he is at work producing the
fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-23) and conforming us to the character of
Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). No wonder Barnabas' influence was so great on the
lives of those who lived in Antioch; his life was under the influence of God's
Spirit!
Thought for today: Am I mindful of the atmosphere that I create
for the indwelling
