Grace that Equips Us for Ministry
Today’s Reading: Acts 2:1-4
Focal Verse: Acts 2:4
And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Jesus commanded His disciples to be witnesses not only in their own country, but also to the ends of the earth. That must have been intimidating to a group of men who were not extremely well educated. They may have wondered how they were supposed to witness to people of a different language. Jesus promised they would receive power when the Holy Spirit came upon them.
He kept His promise. The Holy Spirit fully equipped them to meet the language challenges they had ahead.
God may have called you to witness to someone that is different than you. Maybe they are a different age, a different nationality, a different culture, or a different income. If Jesus is your Savior, you have the Holy Spirit in you. Just as He equipped those at Pentecost, you have received power from the Holy Spirit to equip you for your mission.
The Holy Spirit gives us the grace of His power. Let’s use it!
What excuses have you made for not fulfilling your mission?
Do you believe the Holy Spirit has equipped you?
