Topic:PRAYING IN ONE ACCORD
Text:Acts 1:12-14
1:12 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day’s journey.
1:13 And when they had entered, they went up into the upper room where they were staying: Peter, James, John, and Andrew; Philip and Thomas; Bartholomew and Matthew; James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot; and Judas the son of James.
1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.
STUDY:
After the Ascension of Jesus intoheaven, the eleven disciples returned from Mount Olivet to Jerusalem and stayed in the upper room. The names of the eleven disciples of Jesus are Peter, James, John, Andrew, Philip. Thomas, Bartholomew, Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James. These eleven men were united in prayer and supplication with the women, Mary the mother of Jesus, and Jesus’brothers.
In obedience to the command of Jesus to the disciples not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the baptism of the Holy Spirit, the eleven disciples gathered and waited with the women and the brothers of Jesus at the upper room. Their main focus was to assemble in prayer until the Holy Spirit fell on them. It is interesting to note that Jesus’ mother and His brothers were among those in that upper room. It is good to unite with fellow believers to pray for results since one can chase a thousand while two can chase ten thousand (Deut. 32:30). Whatever happens, do not miss corporate prayers at home, church, fellowship, and school.
Prayer:
Father, help me to stand firm during my weak moments, against temptations and trials of my faith. Amen
