COMPELLED TO TESTIFY OF CHRIST

The urgent, internal drive, often prompted by the Holy Spirit, to share personal experiences of God's work everywhere we go, to fulfill the Great Commission, and glorify the Father, is in every ministering vessel called in Christ Jesus (John 15:26-27), We received this obligation from a profound encounter with Jesus, turning us, Followers of Christ, into Witnesses of His Salvation, Love, and Truth (John 1:34, Luke 24:47-48).
Furthermore, as Christians we are compelled to share our faith regardless of circumstances, sometimes even in the face of persecution, to break the yoke of ignorance and acceptance of deceptive teachings (Acts 10:42 & 23:11, 2 Tim. 1:8). When the Gospel which we proclaim is rejected in a place, we should move ahead, for there are many lost in the World who are lacking the knowledge of God's Redeeming Word (Matt. 10:14 & 23).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, Everlasting God and Abba Father, for giving the Holy Spirit who compels me to preach the Good News of Salvation to all. Please keep me motivated, even in challenging situations, to reach out to anyone ignorant of the Truth, so they may be delivered as they receive Your Word, Jesus Christ, as their Lord and Savior,
Amen.

From Acts 18:5-6

REASONING IN THE SYNAGOGUE

Involving in dialogical engagements and peaceful debates to demonstrate that Jesus fulfilled every Messianic prophecy in the Holy Bible is a practice that aids the fulfillment of the Great Commission (Acts 17:2 & 17). This way, we persuade both those of different faiths and those gathered to seek God, who are humbled and willing to listen to the Truth (Acts 19:8).
Moreover, as we reason with people of any different faith, culture, and tradition with a peaceful approach - explaining and interacting with love while preaching the Gospel, mindsets are transformed, even as many become willing and obedient to receive the Bread of Life (Is. 1:18-19).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, LORD, Ever-Gracious Father, for making me able to reason about the Gospel of Salvation with all those I come across, as a vessel in Your hands. Please continue to lead me to all who need Your Redeeming Grace so they may become restored to Your fold as repentant souls who forever overcome ignorance and deception, by your Word,
Amen.

From Acts 18:4

SOME JOIN AND BELIEVE!

As we remain steadfast, preaching the Gospel to fulfill the Great Commission, while many ignore or mock the message of Salvation we share before departing, some will believe and join the Body of Christ, repenting from sinful lives for their Salvation (Acts 17:32). Despite prevailing skepticism, the Church will continue to grow, subduing the efforts of the forces of darkness towards it; for it's God's Kingdom, established in Christ Jesus on Earth (Is. 9:7).
Furthermore, many souls are revived and minds transformed as the Holy Spirit declares the Truth through us, channels of God's Word and branches in the True Vine; as we stay faithful to our Christ Calling, we will continue to bear more fruit  (John 15:5).

PRAYER: Dear YHWH, the Faithful God, whose Word redeems souls and restores all who believe in Him; I bless Your Name, for You let me know the Truth and by faith I am redeemed to live in Your presence for eternity, in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 17:33-34

HEARD OF THE RESURRECTION

The core belief about Christ is that God Saves, resurrecting him from the dead three days after His crucifixion, defeating death; this makes Him the first fruit of all the saints who will rise on the last day (1 Cor. 15:20-23)! The foundation of the Christian faith is built on this, validating Yeshua as the Messiah (Acts 3:18).
Historically, this claim has elicited mixed reactions, ranging from belief to mockery and skepticism (2 Tim. 2:18). Yet, resurrection is sure for all people, created in the image of Elohim, for the Faithful will be raised to everlasting life, even as the unrepentant face condemnation (Ps. 16:1-2, John 3:18 & 5:28-29).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, Blessed LORD and Glorious Redeemer of our souls, thank You for Your presence and revelation in my life, which keeps me alive with the hope of resurrection to dwell forever with the saints. Glory, Honor, and Adoration to Your Holy Name; for I am safe in Your arms - delivered from sin and death,
Amen.

From Acts 17:32

GOD COMMANDS EVERYONE TO REPENT

Our Heavenly Father and Creator who gave life and breath to all living, commands all people to repent, turning from sin, towards Him, because He appointed a day to judge the World righteously through Jesus Christ, validated by His resurrection (Matt. 3:2). This call urges a change of heart and mindset, demanding submission to His will before the coming judgment (Acts 3:19-29).
However, in times of ignorance, God overlooked many things, but now that the Truth is revealed to all, for obedience, with the universal command to repent, no one is exempt, regardless of one's status in life, for God does not delight in the death of a sinner (Ezek. 18:23, 32 & 33:11).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, Giver of Life and Restorer of my soul, for allowing me to change and become free from condemnation, to dwell in Your righteousness. Blessed be Your Holy Name, for by faith in Your Word and submission to Your Divine will, I receive the grace to remain in the comfort of Your Love,
Amen.

From Acts 17:30-31

DIVINE NATURE ISN'T SHAPED BY MAN'S DEVISING

God is self-existent and transcendent, not a creation of human imagination or art, for He is supreme and Omnipotent. His Divine nature cannot be contained, shaped nor likened to anything in Heaven, on Earth, or in the waters, for He is beyond human understanding and devising (Is. 40:18).
Moreover, the LORD is understood as the source of reality, rather than a product of human culture, imagination, or skill, for He is visible through His Creation and Divine revelations (Rom. 1:20).

PRAYER: Dear Elohim, the Creator of Heaven and Earth, and all living in them; blessed be Your Holy Name, for there is none like You. Please help me to know You more as I continue to meditate on Your Word and live by it through the guidance of the Holy Spirit who manifests Your works and Power as a revelation of Your presence in my life; in Jesus' Name,
Amen.

From Acts 17:29

IN GOD WE LIVE AND MOVE

God is the source of all life, motion, and existence, for without Him there is nothing created that will exist, both in Heaven and on Earth (Col. 1:17). YHWH sustains every breath, action, and aspect of life, making Him the Ultimate Sustainer of Life and Sovereign God (Ps. 54:4).
Therefore, all who need to know the Father and actively dwell in His presence should, willing to change, seek Him through His Word, Jesus Christ - as you receive Him by faith, you will understand that, "He is not far from each one of us," who believes in Him (Deut. 4:7, Ps. 139:7-10, Rom. 1:20).

PRAYER: Dear LORD, the Omnipresent and Sovereign God, who lives, sustaining all, thank You for keeping me alive and active for Your glory. Blessed be Your Holy Name, for in You I humbly live,
Amen.
