Message
Barnabas was a companion and fellow missionary with Apostle Paul. In fact, the Holy Spirit specifically mentioned his name that he and Paul be separated for the special work which God had called them into. Barnabas was not only a preacher of the gospel, he was known as the son of consolation. He was a source of encouragement to a lot of people in the early church. He was the first to extend hands of fellowship to Saul after his conversion on the road to Damascus. He was also one of the first people to sell his land and brought the proceeds to the apostles to be given to the needy. Barnabas was a great encouragement to the people in the early church. God also wants you to be a Barnabas (son of encouragement) to your family, church, community and everywhere you find yourself.

Encouragement is a special gift we can give to others. It is like a little light that brightens someone’s day and helps him/her feel stronger. Sometimes, all a person needs is a kind word, a simple message, or a prayer to lift his spirit when he is feeling down or discouraged. We are all called to be sources of encouragement to the people around us, just like Jesus did.
Further Reading: Hebrews 10:24,25
Prayer for today: Jesus, help me to be an encouragement to others.
1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
