Anchor Scripture: Acts 2:41-42(NKJV)
[41]Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
[42]And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
The keywords to look out for in our verses today are “continued steadfastly” meaning they didn’t relent after they were baptized,the sojourned in prayers.
To keep the car firing at a fast speed, the accelerator is engaged persistently non- stop, otherwise the speed will gradually diminish and the car would certainly pull to a stop. The same scenario applies to the things of the spirit. We need to maintain steam, to ascend to the level we could anticipate results from God.
It takes consistency and purposeful determination to rely solely on the promises that God has provided for us. Just when we are about giving up, His might pushes us further to never relent; because greater is He that is in us than the world. Distractions, finances, obstacles can not hinder us from serving Him. When we fall, we must rise up and look up to Him, the finisher of our faith to give us the strength.
Prayer: May the Lord lift His countenance on us, may He strengthen us to aspire to remain persistent in Jesus’ name. Amen.
