Acts 5:14
“And more than ever believers were added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,”
As this young Church takes a stand on God’s Word and His principals, more “believers” were added to their number. This hard stand on the holiness of God, and expecting a life fully given to God through the blood of Jesus, does not repel them, but compels them to lay their whole life down at the foot of the cross of Christ. Three things happen at one time when we truly “believe” Jesus is Lord.
A firm conviction
A real capitulation
An inspired conduct
Meaning our desire is directed from conviction of the Holy Spirit, we capitulate every decision to Jesus, and our conduct is a product of Christ in and through us. This is not perfection, but divine direction. Father God, thank You for making me more like You today. Help me to love those around me from a deep conviction of Your Spirit, to fully serve from surrendering to You, and love each step of the way today glorifying You through good works produced from You, and prepared by You, in Jesus’ name, Amen.
ACTION: Live out the prepared good works
