Topic: Handling murmuring (Apostolic Revival)
Acts 6:1-2 KJV
And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. [2] Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them , and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
Murmuring is a kind of a low continuous background noise, probably to express a displeasure.
In the midst of the on going revival, there was murmuring in the early church, because some widows were perceived to have been left out in the welfare activities.
Immediately the Apostles identified murmuring as a distraction, they handled it by deliberating the responsibility to some other people while they focused even more on the revival, prayers and the word of God.
Wherever we have diversified multitude, murmuring is inevitable, but how we handle it goes a long way in determining the sustainability of the revival.
"Murmuring can stop the revival movements completely", if not properly handled. God warns against it.
"1 Corinthians 10:10 KJV
Neither murmur ye, as some of them also murmured, and were destroyed of the destroyer."
There's a lot of murmuring in the present day church, some murmuring on money and the pastor's possessions. If all these are not handled with God's wisdom, it's intended to scatter the church and set the Pastors off balance.
This is out-rightly from Satan, if the church scatters now and the pastor's frustrated, the slaughter of Christians will increase. The latest trick of Satan is to use believers against their Pastors, people hunt their Pastors with weapons to terminate them completely.

May God help us to always make our observation with wisdom rather than destructive murmuring.
Prayers: Oh Lord Jesus, grant me the wisdom not to act against God's move, equip and fortify me for the forth coming revival.
Remain blessed
