acts of the apostles

The depth of the early church contrasts the superficiality of the modern church! The depth of the early church never ceases to amaze me: as soon as persecution came it was not an opportunity for them to take shield, rather they took heed to the words of the master and spread the gospel like...

Every move of God is birthed and sustained in the place of prayers Before the showers came in Acts 2 the Apostles we were told lingered for many nights in the place of prayer. They waited until they were anointed. The scriptures records, 'These all continued with one accord in prayer and...

The first church was established in the upper room and this was a church that was birth in the power of God and with the fire of God. Acts 2: 1-4 tells us what happened on the day of Pentecost, ‘1 and when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. 2 And...

Where there is no order there is bound to be chaos! God is a God of order, the Bible tells us. There is a spiritual order to experiencing the power of God and making an impact in our world. Without following this order we disqualify ourselves for the manifestation of this power. When Elijah was...

The purpose of Zion is to be an instrumentality of God’s dominion on the earth. Here was the prophecy for the early church, 'but ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost comes upon you: and he shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the...

Division of any kind is what prevents the flow of Unction! But once we stand united we are bound to be anointed! And we know what happens when the church becomes anointed! ‘27 And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off...

In Acts 5 we see the overflow of this anointing from Acts 4 in action here. Peters shadow was healing the sick. An overflow of the anointing gave birth to unusual miracles. ‘12 And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; (and they were all with one...

A united church is the greatest threat to the enemy, for wherever the people are united they are anointed! Psalm 133:1-3 tells us the prerequisite for the anointing... ‘Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! 2 It is like the precious ointment upon the...

Acts 3:16 tells us the basis for all the miracles done by the Apostles. Peter declared clearly how that name unlocks the door for the miraculous: "And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect...

This is the destiny of the church, to be the agent of the miraculous to the world. To be the birthplace of miracles, signs, and wonders! To be the conveyor and purveyor of God's power to a depressed world! This is our destiny! ‘And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall...

A praying church will produce 'powerful' believers! Powerful believers will always extend the influence of the church beyond its immediate boundaries - 'from Jerusalem to Samaria and unto the uttermost part of the earth'. Remember this move of God recorded in Acts 2 all started in Acts 1:14-15...

The presence of God is our divine immunity for total security. And one of the ways to enjoy this presence like the Apostles did is by taking the word to the world. When Jesus gave the great commission in Matthew 28:18-20, He told them to preach the word to the world and then he gave an assurance...

The words of men may be contested but the power of God cannot be denied When this power is at work it produces signs and wonders. In Acts 3 we see Peter and John boast in the power of God as they told that man silver and gold we have none, 'but such AS I HAVE give i unto thee, in the name of...

The Holy Spirit was not just given to speak in tongues but to speak the word In Acts 1:8 Jesus told the disciples, 'You shall receive power after the Holy Spirit has come upon you and YOU SHALL BE WITNESSES unto me...'. That was his principal work, to make the disciples bold witness of the...

A model for the present-day church No church or no Individual models the lifestyle Jesus had in mind as the ultimate for the believer like the church in Acts of the Apostles! It was a power-driven church! It was a church birth on the platform of God's power, grew on that platform and dominated...

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a mighty rushing wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting"(Acts 2:1-4) That infilling of a mighty rushing wind brought about an...

What defines the identity of God's kingdom on the earth is not words, but the power of God, "for the kingdom of God is not in words but in power"(1 Corinthians 4:20). Power not grammar is what defines the identity of the church and makes it command the attention of the world! In Acts 1:14 we...
