STEADFASTNESS
Act
2:40-47
Devotional:- “And they continued
steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread,
and in prayers” (v. 42) NKJV
Today,
our decisions to follow the Lord is greatly challenged by temptations of different types. The devil has so much pollute the world that it is
so easy to follow the way of sin and unrighteousness. That is why to be an ordinary
Christian today is to be no Christian at all. Those
who have chosen to be disciples of Christ must be steadfast in following the
master. To be steadfast is to be resolute to stand in the will of God even if
no body does. To be steadfast is to be firm no matter the intimidation of
friends. It is to make up your mind to follow the Lord notwithstanding any situation or
circumstances.
Frien,
your decision to be a disciple of Jesus will be tested by people with negative
influences. Be ready to be dishonored to bring honour to the Lord. You must
have a strong resolution to remain in Christ whatever the case may be. Choose
to close doors to options. Be bold to tell people “If it is ungodly count me
out” Remember Jesus has promised to help us by the Holy Spirit that is in us.
Stand firm in the word of God and you will be a true disciple of Christ
(Ephesians 6:13-14). Peace
Prayer:
Lord, strengthen me in the inner man to always stand for you
“He
that is not standing for righteousness is falling in unrighteousness”
