ACCURATE WITH THE THINGS OF GOD

Being discipled through the Word of God and gifted in the Spirit with a deeper understanding of the Scriptures, helps a Minister preach the way of God more precisely. This way, He can spread the Truth correctly - acting as if there is no emergency and speaking with sincerity, so as to never corrupt the Good News (Prov. 19:2, 2 Cor. 2:17, 2 Tim. 2:15).
Furthermore, explaining the way of God accurately, requires focusing on the "oracles of God," rather than personal opinions, to ensure sound doctrine, correct errors, bring freedom from burdens, and build up Believers (Ephesians 4:29, 1 Pet. 4:11).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, YHWH, for the knowledge of Your Word and the Wisdom of the Holy Spirit, which helps me understand, interpret and share the Good News of Salvation according to Your Divine will, more accurately. Please keep me focused and sincere in heart as I proclaim Your Name to all, with determination to bring you glory,
Amen.

From Acts 18:24-26

STRENGTHENING DISCIPLES

Involving oneself in a deliberate, ongoing process of encouraging spiritual growth, grounding Believers in sound doctrine, and fostering deep community to withstand trials, helps strengthen growing Disciples with their spiritual needs, as a Minister empowered for God's glory (Acts 15:32 & 41). It requires active engagement—through prayer, mentorship, and equipping for ministry—to build resilience and ensure lasting faith. 
This way, Followers of Christ are built to maturity so they may not fall away, yet stay prepared to endure trials while continuing the mission of the Church unto eternal life (Acts 14:21-22, John 6:67-68).

PRAYER: Blessed LORD and Glorious King, thank You for making me a ministering vessel of the Holy Spirit, empowered to help others with their spiritual needs. Please continue to use me as a channel of Your Word, to equip growing Christians to fulfill the Great Commission and keep them prepared against every trial that may come their way, as Overcomers, in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 18:23

TO KEEP THE COMING FEAST

The intent of a faithful Minister traveling for a biblical festival or program demonstrates the relevance of it towards the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Matt. 10:6, Acts 20:16). Attending such occasions, in God's will,  is an avenue to spread the Good News of Salvation to many ignorant of it (Acts 17:23).
Therefore, observing religious feasts by some Christians today can be seen as the spiritual application of biblical holidays in modern times, with Christ in mind as the One who fulfills every prophecy leading to the establishment of such practices.

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, LORD, Heavenly Father, for Your Divine guidance and understanding which helps in relating with those near and far who are ignorant of the Truth. Please continue to lead and speak through me to them, so they may also have the right understanding of Your Redeeming Word and become saved by your gift, through faith,
Amen.

From Acts 18:21

HAVING HAIR CUT OFF

Intense mourning, deep repentance, shame, or the breaking of a holy vow is frequently symbolized by having one's hair cut off (Jug. 16:17-19). The call to do this is either a sign of judgment or rejection, bringing a man to his knees before God (Jer. 7:29, Micah 1:16).
However, these actions generally indicate a transition, a reset, or a public display of an inward spiritual state, often relating to holiness or humiliation (1 Cor. 11:5-6).

PRAYER: Dear YHWH, Abba Father, and Gracious God, thank You for separating me from every vow leading to condemnation and establishing me in an eternal Covenant of Grace and Love. Blessed be Your Holy Name, for I'm favored to be united forever with You in Christ Jesus,
Amen.

From Acts 18:18

NOT JUDGE OF SUCH MATTERS

The refusal of a civil Judge to adjudicate religious and theological disputes brought against any ministering vessels of the Holy Spirit, viewing them as matters of words and names, not criminal nor even moral offenses, is wise and a Divine intervention. Deeming disputes about religious traditions or doctrines as outside the jurisdiction of secular authority and civil laws, as a non-religious Judge, refusing to intervene in religious or internal community conflicts, helps one to focus on serious matters of national security and growth (Mark 12:17).
Moreover, the actualization of religious freedom, the separation of church and state, is mostly achievable this way, for spiritual matters cannot be accurately judged with a carnal mindset (1 Cor. 6:2-4).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, Heavenly Father and Gracious God, for always coming to my aid and vindicating me from every accusation of the wicked. Please continue to fight for me, even as You keep me consecrated and free to continue Your glorious work,
Amen.

From Acts 18:14-15

ACCUSING AS CONVICTED

As we diligently proclaim the Good News of Salvation to fulfill the Great Commission, we are constantly accused by those of different faiths, alleging that our teaching violates their religious rights, traditions, and customs, under the law (Acts 16:20-21). They charge Ministers, specifically targeting our preaching of grace, which contrasts with the legalism of their beliefs.
However, the conflict between strict adherence to their religious doctrines and the freedom found in the gospel of Christ, makes them feel insecure, as vessels of darkness who, while neglecting God's Law, give false teachings to restrict the sons of men within their web (Matt. 15:14, 23:3-4, Luke 11:52).

PRAYER: Dear YHWH, the Shield of the Faithful and Advocate of the Righteous, thank You for always being there, fighting my battles and conquering every war set against me. Please continue to see me through, as I stay determined to reach out to many who are ignorant of the Truth, so they may receive Your Word; in Jesus' Name,

From Acts 18:12-13

SPEAKING WITHOUT FEAR

Those who have received it are powerfully encouraged by the Word of God - urging us to overcome fear and speak up with courage while proclaiming the Good News of Salvation (Is. 41:10). Speaking up is necessary to overcome challenges, make a positive impact, and stand up against injustice.
Furthermore, continuous meditation on God's Word, guided by the Holy Spirit, inspires confidence, encourages bold communication, and reinforces that one is not alone when strengthened to stand up for what is right or fulfilling the Great Commission (Dan. 10:19, John 6:20).

PRAYER: Dear LORD, Everlasting Father, and Glorious King, thank You for giving me the courage, help, and strength to speak the Truth and proclaim Your Word, for the Salvation of souls. Please continue to strengthen me in the Spirit as I remain determined to fulfill the Great Commission and stand for the Truth, upheld as a vessel of Your Word; in Jesus' Name,
Amen
