Acts 2:42 (NLT) All the believers devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching, and to fellowship, and to sharing in meals (including the Lord’s Supper), and to prayer.
When Gbenga first believed, he was in the community of sincere and loving believers. Because they were all graduate students on a university campus, they met every night and would have their dinner together at the end of their meetings. They did bible study, prayed, and were taught the word of God during most of their meetings. They all tried to contribute their best to meet the needs of members of the fellowship in need. The power of God was mighty in their midst to heal and deliver, and many joined them. Members of that group were so close that some thought they were a very tight-knit frat group or secret society.
This was the foundation that Gbenga had and grew greatly. Before he believed, he was a drug addict with many issues. After he believed and was totally devoted to fellowship, the word of God, and prayer, he was free of all his addictions and sins. He no more lived a life characterized by his formal temptations. He understood the grace of the Lord practically.
There is so much talk about grace today. Believers need to experience the practical aspect of grace that empowers them to live above sin. Grace teaches us how to walk in a way that would make it difficult for us to fall again (see Titus 2:11).
Go into today remembering that devoting yourself to the Word, prayer, and Christian fellowship, is the way to labor to enter your rest; a place where you have ceased from your own struggle to live holy because your life is now empowered by God’s grace.
Prayer: Lord, please help me to experience your grace in every area of life. Amen.
