Day 24 (30 August 2018, Thursday)
Acts 2:42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers.
The culture of the first church in Acts was their devotion to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, communion and prayers. These are vital elements in the church life. Do we miss out on any of these elements in our church life today?
Do we place a high priority on the teaching of the Word of God? The teaching of the Word and Prayer were the priority of the disciples’ ministry. The disciples gave their full attention to prayer and the ministry of the Word.
Why did the disciples devote to prayer? Because it was a spiritual battle to bring in the harvest. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of the strongholds of the enemy.
Paul shared in Ephesians on spiritual warfare. To equip believers for the battle, Paul’s exhortation for them is, “Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication” (Ephesians 6:18). Therefore, we know that prayer is the ultimate weapon in this battle.
The Word keeps us focus on His will and our prayer shall be aligned with His living Word that we are indeed praying for the will of God to be fulfilled over our land. Malaysia is ready for the harvest. Let’s join our hearts in prayer for selfless workers of this harvest, for He did promise, “If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it” (John 14:14).

Psalm 127:3-5 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one’s youth.
