Barnabas Inspiration of My Christian Walk

re-post inspired by Brenda's contest

THE MAN'S MAN

Joseph,a levite hailing from Cyprus
Not one to distinguish between them & us

Baranabas was a his given,nick-name
Amongst the apostles he gained honour & fame

Speaking up for Paul in the council's sight
Standing for justice,truth and light

A man of encouragement and faith
Full of the Holy Spirit and God's grace

Respected and trusted by all
This unnoticed companion of the apostle Paul

To Zeus,Barnabas was to be compared
His witness to Jesus, he so often declared

Diligent,hard-working ,always supporting himself
Putting kingdom living before money & wealth

Full details @ Acts 4:36/7 :9:26/7:11:22/3:!!:29/30:!3:2:14:12 & 1Cor  9:6
