Increasing the Word of God
3 components are necessary to
increase the Word of God in our world.
1. Serving hearts (Acts 6:1-7)
2. Glory given to God (Acts
12:20-24)
3. Fear of God (Acts 19:11-20) –
Hatred of evil (Proverbs 8:13), turning away from evil (Proverbs 16:6). Evil
defined as pride, arrogance, and perverted speech (Proverbs 8:13). Evil is also
haughty eyes, lying tongue, hands that shed innocent
blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to
run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows
discord among brothers (Proverbs 6:17-19). Fear of God prolongs life
(Proverbs 10:27)
Proverbs 16:6 is a partnership with
God. We are to turn from evil because our iniquities were atoned for.
Many miracles, signs and wonders,
and beautiful displays of God’s mighty hand were displayed when these
components were in play.
When we are hungry for God these
components feel less “forced” and more “natural” as the longing for God grows
