GIVING WHAT WE HAVE

Ministers, those called by God the Father in Christ Jesus who lives in believers anointed in the Spirit to proclaim His Word and reveal His Love to all, and acting with the Divine authority to give compassionately, can always do so from the abundance of His provisions, both physically and Spiritually from the depths of our hearts, without discrimination (Ps. 50:10, Matt. 16:19 & 28:18). By, "His Divine Power, God has given us everything we need for a godly life through knowing Him who called us, by His glory and goodness, to do miracles, heal, teach, and help others with their Spiritual and material needs (1 Cor. 12:28, Col. 1:29, 2 Pet. 1:3).
Moreover, being down financially and other situations should not stop a Minister from freely helping with their spiritual gifts but, free of so many distractions of the flesh, be stronger because of Christ (2 Cor. 12:10). Also, one who is richly blessed out of the abundance of God's grace, shouldn't relent in coming to the aid of the needy; for we are channels of God's great Love, manifesting His Power through the Holy Spirit controlling us in order that, "not my will, but Yours be done," so His Name may be glorified on Earth (Acts 4:10, Luke 22:42).

PRAYER: Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ, for making me useful, for Your glory, as a ministering vessel of the Holy Spirit, commissioned to help all in need, both Spiritually and physically, so many may experience Your Divine presence at the uplifting manifestation of Your works in their lives, as they seek for Your redeeming Grace,
Amen.

From Acts 3:6

PRAISING GOD AND HAVING FAVOR

Glorifying the Name of the LORD through selfless service, proclaiming the Good News of Salvation, and revealing the Love of the Father without discriminating or judging anyone, makes Followers of Christ favored by all who truly receive the Gospel gratefully, by faith in Christ Jesus. This way, the Church increases daily with, "multitudes of both men and women," submitting to the LORD in repentance, trusting for God's Salvation of their souls (Acts 5:14).
Therefore, we should keep exalting our Heavenly Father in all our endeavors, as channels of His Word, called to show His Love and we will ever remain fruitful branches in the True Vine, blessed by the LORD and favored by men, praising He who is ultimately worthy of our appreciation (John 15:5, Col. 3:12-17)!

PRAYER: Thank You, Heavenly Father, blessed be Your Holy Name, for Your presence in my life keeps me fruitful as a ministering vessel of the Holy Spirit, commissioned to make more Disciples. Please keep me favored as I continuously praise Your Name, Jesus;
Amen,

From Acts 2:47

BREAKING BREAD FROM HOUSE TO HOUSE

The continuous breaking of bread in fellowship with Brethren from house to house, graced with the preaching of God's Word, strengthens the spirit, nourishes the soul, and keeps the body actively involved in the growth of God's Kingdom, even as it encourages brotherly love in the Body of Christ. Doing it, "with gladness and simplicity of heart," keeps us united and Divinely enlightened of the Truth, for our spiritual growth as Christians, commissioned to gain and disciple souls for the Kingdom (Luke 24:30-31).
Moreover, "the bread which we break," is "the sharing of the Body of Christ," given for our redemption; coming together in fellowship, joyfully having our needs met, in one accord, we will stay united for the continuous growth of God's advancing Kingdom (Ps. 133, 1 Cor. 10:16-17).

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, Heavenly Father, for uniting me with the fold of Christ to fellowship in one accord, humbly breaking bread and being fed by Your Word to grow in the Spirit and remain strengthened to live in the fulfillment of the Great Commission given to me as a Follower of Christ,
Amen.

From Acts 2:46

TOGETHER WITH EVERYTHING IN COMMON, NO ONE IN NEED

By faith in Christ Jesus and in submission to the will of God, every Christian is united in the Spirit as Brethren in a Divine community, bonded with Love to reveal the will of the Father on Earth as it is in Heaven (Eph. 4:4-6). By this, we see each other as one family - even above biological family, in the Body of Christ, who shed His blood for us to apply to the doorposts where those around taught us to carve our name, furthering a fading identity - now willing to share everything in common so no one among us, vessels of God's Love and ambassadors of Christ on Earth, may lack their basic needs nor companionship (Ex. 12:23, Matt. 12:48-50, Acts 4:32-37).
Therefore, we should not relent in asking for our needs to be met without feeling entitled to deserve more than another, sharing our time and the plenty we do have with our fellow Brethren, and speaking with one voice as the Church, "perfectly joined together in the same mind and the same conviction," so we may stay undistracted and worthy as channels of God's Word, showing His Love to the dying World, so in need (1 Cor. 1:10).

PRAYER: Thank You Lord Jesus Christ, for making me a member of Your Body, made of many nations, to share in common everything ,you've given, according to Your will; revealing Your Love among Brethren, which strengthens the fold and encourages peaceful coexistence in the Church for the continued advancement of Your everlasting Kingdom,
Amen.

From Acts 2:44-45

BREAKING OF BREAD IN COMMUNITY

Dining together in fellowship - breaking bread and sharing the Word of God as one, in the Body of Christ - worshipping the LORD in Truth and the Spirit, are the basics of Christianity; as we pray in one accord while doing so, the unity of the Church is strengthened, revealing God's presence made manifest through signs and wonders (Ps. 133, Mark 16:17-18, Acts 1:14). This way, we grow, "not lagging in diligence, fervent in serving the LORD," making us to, "rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, continuing in prayers," for all His People, as favored Sons and Daughters of God, equipped to overcome the snare of the wicked (Rom. 12:11-12, Eph. 6:18).
So, we should always endeavor to stay united as Christians, fellowshipping and breaking bread together, even as we earnestly make supplication in unity, giving thanks for His Divine presence, which sustains and keeps us actively performing many signs and wonders as Overcomers, in Jesus' Name!

PRAYER: In Jesus' Holy Name, thank You, LORD, Heavenly Father, for keeping me in fellowship with Your own chosen generation, breaking bread and sharing the Word of God through discipleship, even as we pray in unity for You to be revered, meet our needs, and subdue the forces of darkness trying to come against our Calling, in Your Holy Name,
Amen.

From Acts 2:42-43

GLADLY RECEIVING GOD'S WORD

Receiving the Word of God preached to us, Jesus Christ, with gladness and meditating out loud with joy, is the proper response to the Grace of God offered to the World on a cross, for the remission of every sin, making us cleansed by the blood of the Lamb and resurrected in the Spirit to, "walk in newness of life," through faith, as sons of God and members of the Body of Christ, baptized in His Holy Name (Rom. 6:3-4, Gal. 3:26-27). There have been barriers to get to God for a long time, even for a priest, but now, one can truly know the Father - only by receiving His Word who was sent in person as His only begotten Son and exactly expressed image, given for the Salvation of all who believe the "good news of great Joy for all people," proclaimed by God's chosen and anointed vessels, commissioned to likewise come minister the Gospel of Truth, will we be united as members of the Body of Christ (John 13:20, Luke 2:10, Heb. 1:3).
So, being baptized both of water and of the Holy Ghost, as spiritually-circumcized Children of God, reborn to live and declare His glory - worshipping and praising Him forever as the saints - requires that we gladly receive Jesus Christ and live in obedience to His teachings, willing to lay down our lives to take up life again, anew; so we will always remain counted among the favored Sons and Daughters of our Father.
Furthermore, souls are not added to the number of the saints by force, although personal effort, and persistence may be needed. You are not the only one responsible for completing the work of Jesus, but with the gifts of the Spirit in action, in his timing, many will be attracted like seeds to the Light, watered, and matured (Luke 8:6-8).

PRAYER: Thank You, Heavenly and Ever-Gracious Father, for the revelation of Your Word, who keeps me circumcized in the Spirit and washed by His redeeming blood, to live among the chosen, purified for Your Kingdom, and reigning with Christ Jesus, Your Son. This season, this very weekend, may thousands and millions more take the opportunity to share the Good News, be baptized, and compassionately reach out to another soul in need of Your Salvation,
Amen.

From Acts 2:41

PERSEVERING TO SAVE FROM PERVERSE GENERATION

The Sons of Man who find comfort in the temporary and lustful pleasures of the World, are mostly perverse in their thoughts or corrupt in their ways, which are carnal and ungodly; yet, to stay safe from among this crooked generation of men, we must continually, patiently, and diligently exhort each other with the Word of God, so we as the Church may stay spiritually separated* from negative influences imposed by the devil to divert our attention from the Lord, who came to the world & because of our curse was killed, but returned to the LORD (John 17:14-16). Our faithful response to the Gospel keeps us from dying again with, "this perverse generation," even as the Holy Spirit helps in rebuking their deceptive advances on all worshiping the LORD in Truth (2 Cor. 6:17-18).
Therefore, discipling people through God's Word keeps them guided by the Truth as they walk in the Spirit to glorify Him, moving away from the influence of today's generation, Contrary to God in Christ, in us. So, let's endeavor to take the Good News of Salvation to all, as channels of God's Word and souls will be free from the influence of this perverse generation.

PRAYER: In Jesus' Name, thank You, LORD, Heavenly Father, for keeping me away from the influence of perverse thoughts and corrupt feelings, through the guidance of Your Word, by the Holy Spirit who lives in me. Please help me evangelize and encourage Your sheep, lost and found, as I disciple them with what I have each day of Your Word, for their spiritual growth,
Amen.
