"No one else dared join
them, even though they were highly regarded by the people. "- Acts 5:13
Every work day in thousands of offices across the globe,
Christians testify of God's grace in their lives in some way. Sometimes it comes
through a subtle performance of their duties with a smile and peace that
non-believers cannot understand. In other cases, there might be more visible,
unexplainable examples of God's work. This was the defining difference in
believers in the early Church. They lived a life that followed with signs and
wonders that could not be humanly explained.
The apostles performed many miraculous signs and wonders
among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's
Colonnade. No one else dared join them, even though they were highly regarded by
the people. Nevertheless, more and more men and women believed in the Lord and
were added to their number (Acts 5:12-14).
How often we have heard
non-believers acknowledge their respect for the Christian workplace believer,
but they dare not join them in their persuasion. It is this fear of the unknown
that keeps many a non-believer on the path to hell. Who has God placed in your
path today to help detour from a path of eternal torment to a path of freedom
and eternal life? The Lord desires that each should come to knowledge of the
truth so that they might be saved. As you enter the workplace today, ask the
Lord for a divine appointment that might be the turning point for a lost soul.
There's no prayer the Lord will delight in more than this one.
