*FAITH NUGGET* *EXHORTED AND STRENGTHENED PT5* *Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words*. *Acts 15:32*. The other day we were talking about the other group where many of us belong which is the critic group and today i want us to look at another group called the complainant group.

  *FAITH NUGGET* *EXHORTED AND STRENGTHENED PT7* *Now Judas and Silas, themselves being prophets also, exhorted and strengthened the brethren with many words*.   *Acts 15:32*. Having seen why the offices of Judas and Silas were mentioned in the passage and having been told by bro Paul that it was Christ that made it so for the work of ministry and for the edification of the church. Today we are going to look at why the work they did was also mentioned. Alleluia!!! First of all we must know that the work they did was mentioned to show that it was not just about their title but a call to duty, a call to fulfill assignment and a call to add value to the body of Christ. Their work was mentioned also to show that they did not just take the title for the sake of taking a  title or inorder to have a high position or a sitting position in the church like many of us do today. Their work was mentioned to show that the title was not for show or to attract respect and honour or ...
