God’s Life-Giving Word of Discipleship

DAY 24 OF 31

  

January 24

Introduction

Peter and John return to the other followers and report what the Council had said. The believers pray together for boldness to speak the Lord’s message. They continue to meet and pray and share their possessions so that no one would be in need.

Today’s Key Scripture: Acts 4:31b

They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to proclaim God’s message with boldness.

Today’s Reading 

Acts 4:23-37

Reflect

Describe the believers’ prayer (verses 24-30). What happened immediately after they prayed? Have you ever experienced the power of the Holy Spirit while praying? In verses 32-37 we learn that, from the beginning, the believers met to pray and share their possessions. Can you envision what it would be like if people everywhere followed this example? 

Pray

Almighty God, you are master and creator of heaven, earth, and sea and all that is in them. Empower me to speak your message with boldness and to share what I have with those in need. God of wonder and miracles, I pray in the name of your Son Jesus. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Faith communities with limited financial resources

Tomorrow’s Reading

Acts 5:1-16: Two would-be followers of Christ withhold money from the faith community.
