“whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.”
Acts 6:6-7 KJV
All seven stood before the apostles, who laid their hands on them and prayed for them, commissioning them to this ministry. God’s word reigned supreme and kept spreading. The number of Jesus’ followers in Jerusalem quickly grew and increased by the day. Even a great number of Jewish priests became believers and were obedient to the faith! The practice of laying on of hands indicates approval, importation of authority, commissioning and ordaining. In the new covenant apostles laid their hands on men and women and appointed them to ministry. That’s how God’s Word reigned supreme and the Gospel spread and followers grew and increased by the day. Let’s follow the Bible way of spreading the Gospel in this world. Amen!
