DAY 14: FRIDAY JANUARY 15, 2021
FOCUS: PENTECOST AGAIN - FROM THE UPPER ROOM TO
EVERY LIVING ROOM FOR UNCOMMON GROWTH.
TEXTS: Acts 2:41-42, Phil. 1:13.
INSPIRATIONAL MESSAGE FOR EFFECTIVE PRAYER
Pentecost is a term meaning fiftieth, which was applied to the fiftieth day after the Passover. It was the culmination of the "feast of weeks" (Ex. 24:22; Deut. 16:10), which began on the third day after the Passover with the presentation of the first harvest sheaves to God, and which concluded with the offering of two loaves of unleavened bread, representing the first products of the harvest (Lev. 23:17, 20; Deut. 16:9-10).
When Jesus ascended into heaven, He instructed his disciples to remain in Jerusalem until they should receive power from on high.
As a group of 120 were praying in an upper room in Jerusalem fifty days after his death, the Holy Spirit descended upon them with the sound of a great wind and with tongues of fire which settled upon each one of them. They began to speak with other languages and to preach boldly in the name of Christ, with the result that three thousand souls were saved. In rebuttal to criticism by devout Jews, Peter stood up and, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, gave a
wonderful sermon. After the sermon, Luke wrote in verses 41 and 42. Then read Acts 2:41-42
This incredible manifestation of divine power marked the beginning of the church which has ever since regarded Pentecost as its birthday.Pentecost, then, is the anniversary of the coming of the Holy Spirit.
This day was not the beginning of a denomination. It was the beginning of the one church: The One True Church. The Church that is bought with the blood of Christ;The Church that is united by the indwelling Spirit;
The Church that is taught with the inspired Word. For uncommon growth in GOFAMINT we need this Pentecostal experience again in all our lives, homes, assemblies, districts, regions, and church at large. This word will be taken to every home level for grassroots impact. This is what the Lord did for us during the COVID lockdown when we all took the word to the house fellowship levels.
