Prayer for Boldness to Preach the Gospel

And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Acts 4:31

Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Thanks be to God for the gift of Jesus Christ. In today’s scripture we read the exploits of the Apostles Peter and John after Jesus had ascended to heaven. They stood their grounds and did not crumble to the Council of Elders who wanted to suppress them.

From today’s scripture 3 things stand out; they assembled together, they prayed together, and they shared the Word of God together with boldness. A great lesson to learn.

Peter and John had been put to jail by the Elders and warned not to teach in the name of Jesus Christ again but they continued to speak about what they had seen Jesus Christ do during His time with them.

As Peter and John prayed together with the brethren the place they gathered got shaken and the people filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the Word of God with boldness.

Thank you Lord Jesus, may we constantly gather in your name to pray. May the Holy Spirit visit our gatherings and empower us to speak forth your word with boldness in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

God is calling us to Preach His Word to All people

‭Romans 10:14 AMP‬
[14] But how will people call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how will they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how will they hear without a preacher (messenger)?

Praise and glory be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

Romans 10 highlights on what what one needs to do to be saved. It talks about believing in your heart and confessing with your mouth to receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour.

Today’s scripture is therefore a continuation of sending the gospel out. It poses the question of how can the gospel of Jesus Christ reach the people who need to hear before believing and accepting it.

How can they hear and believe if there is no preacher? That is the essence of today’s scripture, we need to send the gospel of Jesus Christ to the world. Each of us has to be an instrument for God to channel His Word through. It could be through your gathering, work, school, community, family, market place, social media etc. The gospel must be pushed out there by you and I.

May the Lord grant us the grace and utterances to send forth His Word into our communities for others to hear and believe and be saved. Lord Jesus help us in fulfilling the great commission in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.

Go into the World and preach the Gospel to all creation

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Mark 16:15 AMP

Praise be to God for this beautiful day and the opportunity to rejoice and be glad in it.

This is the Great Commission that Jesus Christ gave to the disciples and by extension to every child of God after His resurrection and prior to His ascension.

The scripture for today popularly referred to as the Great Commission enjoins all christians to preach the good news of salvation to all and at all times. Just tell someone today that Jesus loves you!

The commission requires that we preach to people, teach them, get them baptized by the Church and follow up on them to ensure they remain and grow in Christ Jesus.

Father we pray for grace to be able to fulfil the great commission in accordance with your Word. May we be preachers and teachers of your Word to get your Word established in the lives of those we preach to in Jesus Mighty name. Amen.
