Vital Step to a Radiant Faith-Delegation

JOHN SHIRK – In the Year to Shine, today’s Vital Step to a Radiant Faith is delegation of responsibility.

When the workload is overwhelming, that’s a good time to delegate. In Acts chapter 6, verse 3, the church turned this challenge into an opportunity for growth by doing just that.

As the church was growing in numbers, there were also more needs to address. Some widows were being overlooked in the daily distribution of food.  So, the Twelve leaders in the church gathered all the disciples together and said, “It would not be right for us to neglect the ministry of the word of God in order to wait on tables. Brothers and sisters, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word.”

They presented seven men to the apostles, who prayed and laid their hands on them. As a result, the word of God spread, and the number of disciples in Jerusalem increased rapidly.

Delegating Responsibility is a Vital Step to a Radiant Faith that makes a difference in our world.
