Reading: Acts 2:42-47; Acts 4:32-35

Acts 2:42-47;

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. They sold property and possessions to give to anyone who had need. 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, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”

Acts 4:32-35

“All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of their possessions was their own, but they shared everything they had. With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And God’s grace was so powerfully at work in them all that there were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned land or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales and put it at the apostles’ feet, and it was distributed to anyone who had need.”

The early church didn’t pray for revival—they lived it. How? They embraced discomfort,

allowed transformation, adopted kingdom values, and rose from failures together. When

needs arose, they responded with radical generosity. No one claimed possessions as their

own. The result? No one had needs, and thousands came to faith. Revival isn’t a distant

hope; it’s the natural result of believers living with a new value system. This year, God is

calling you to “come and abide”—to come out of comfort zones, come into transformation,

come into kingdom values, and come back after failure. Following Jesus is a direction, not

just a decision. It means leaving what’s familiar to embrace what’s eternal. What is God

asking you to lay down? Where does He want to plow in your life? Whose needs can you

meet with your resources? The harvest is ready, and God is calling you to immeasurably

more. Will you come?
