The Fellowship of the Believers
42 They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.43 Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. 44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need.46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, 47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.
Acts 2:42-47
The description in these verses is what I want Pathway to strive for. Though it sounds unrealistic since all of us are sinners, but I believe one day either in this life or in heaven, I will be able to witness a church that is described in Acts. This type of church only existed because everyone knew God and wanted to obey his commands. If there was a weak link, I'm sure the church would have crumbled. The question is... how can I influence others to live this kind of lifestyle? I know for a fact that.. I myself, am not perfect. To gain and allow others to buy into this idea comes from allow God to change me first. To decrease me for the sake of increasing Him. First.. change me God. Secondly if i'm at a state to be a spiritual faith setter, use me so that my interactions with others will influence them to live more Christ like.
Jesus forgive me for being self centered. Help me Holy Spirit to live more selflessly. Help me to be wise with your money. Thank you for all your blessings.
In Jesus name
Amen
