Good morning brother,
Topic: The Importance of Encouragement and Appreciation
Read Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Acts 4:36-37 and Acts 11:22-24. Luke 6:38
Thoughts: Quote: "People work for money but go the extra mile for recognition, praise, and rewards." - Dale Carnegie
In 1 Thessalonians 5:11, Paul writes, "Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing."
This simple, yet powerful advice aligns exactly with what Dale Carnegie wrote above.
Do you remember the last time someone encouraged you?
Let’s dive into the story of Barnabas in Acts 4:36-37 and Acts 11:22-24.

Acts 4:36-37
05:16:43 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”News of this reached the church in Jerusalem, and they sent Barnabas to Antioch. When he arrived and saw what the grace of God had done, he was glad and encouraged them all to remain true to the Lord with all their hearts. He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit and faith, and a great number of people were brought to the Lord.“
Acts 11:22-24
05:17:41 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”“
Luke 6:38
05:18:21 From Harry to Everyone:
14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!” Romans 10:14-15
05:23:43 From Manny Ramos to Everyone:
Morning brothers. Jesus loves you so much!
05:27:44 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God. We know that the whole creation has been groaning as in the pains of childbirth right up to the present time. Not only so, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly as we wait eagerly for our adoption to sonship, the redemption of our bodies.“
Romans 8:20-23
05:30:33 From Juan Wyatte to Everyone:
”All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need. Joseph, a Levite from Cyprus, whom the apostles called Barnabas (which means “son of encouragement”), sold a field he owned and brought the money and put it at the apostles’ feet.“
Acts 4:32-37
05:31:17 From Manny Ramos to Everyone:
Selfishness is the enemy of encouragement.

3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our affliction so that we will be able to comfort those who are in [b]any affliction with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For just as the sufferings of Christ are [c]ours in abundance, so also our comfort is abundant through Christ. 2 Corinthians 1:3-5
