The ministry of the Holy spirit in the life of a believer can not be overemphasised. While Jesus walked on the earth, His disciples struggled with walking in power such that a person seeking healing had to report them to Jesus.
However, in Acts 3 the work of the Holy spirit in the lives of the disciples-now apostles was so evident. Having waited to be endued with power, they walked with so much boldness and power and healed the lame man at the beautiful gate. They also boldly declared the word of God to everyone around.
God gave us His very Spirit that was at work in Jesus, this means that we can walk in the power like Jesus did. In fact, Jesus said we would do greater works than he did on this earth. We only need to walk in the Spirit
In leviticus 22-23, God gave the Israelites instructions on the kind of feasts they must celebrate. From the sabbath to the passover, feasts of firstfruits, feast of weeks, feasts of trumpets, day of atonement, and the feast of tabernacles. These seven feasts serve as key reminders of God’s covenant with the Israelites and their history.
Prayer: Lord, help me to always work in the consciousness of the Holy spirit.
Today’s reading
Leviticus 22-23
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
“Speak to Aaron and his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they do not profane My holy name by what they dedicate to Me: I am the Lord.
Say to them: ‘Whoever of all your descendants throughout your generations, who goes near the holy things which the children of Israel dedicate to the Lord, while he has uncleanness upon him, that person shall be cut off from My presence: I am the Lord.
Acts 3
Now Peter and John went up together to the temple at the hour of prayer, the ninth hour.
And a certain man lame from his mother’s womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms from those who entered the temple;
who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked for alms.
