1 Now in the church that was at Antioch there were certain prophets and teachers: Barnabas, Simeon who was called Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. 2 As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, “Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” 3 Then, having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away.
Preaching in Cyprus
4 So, being sent out by the Holy Spirit, they went down to Seleucia, and from there they sailed to Cyprus. 5 And when they arrived in Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews. They also had John as their assistant.

MFM Devotional 4 February 2024: MESSAGE
It has been reported that in the world, one hundred and fifty people die every minute; six thousand, three hundred and sixteen people die every hour and one hundred and fifty-one thousand, six hundred people die every day. If you multiply this by thirty days, a month and three hundred and sixty-five days a year, you will understand how many people die in a year. The most painful thing about this is that significant percentage of those who die are without Jesus Christ and therefore end up in hell fire for eternal punishment.
The good news, however, is that it is not the will of God that any should perish. Therefore, He sent His only Beloved Son to die for the sin of mankind. When Jesus came, He went about preaching the gospel of the Kingdom through the power of the Holy Spirit and He also chose twelve disciples and another seventy to do the evangelistic assignment. Before His ascension, He gave His disciples throughout all generations the great commission of preaching the gospel to the people of the world. But the gospel can only be preached effectively through the help and support of the Holy Spirit.
Beloved, you need to understand that mission and evangelism are the heartbeat of God. Jesus was passionately committed to that noble task after the Holy Spirit descended upon Him. He even warned His disciples not to venture into any form of Kingdom service until they are endued with power from on high. The disciples tarried in obedience until the Holy Spirit came upon them. Right from that time, the Holy Spirit became the Director General of the Church’s mission and evanglistic commitments. We have read in our Fire Scripture how the Holy Spirit instructed the Antioch church to set apart Barnabas and Saul (later known as Paul) for the missionary assignment He had for them.
The lesson here is that any church, any Christian organisation or any believer who desires to make a significant impact in mission and evangelism must actively involve the Holy Spirit.
