Scripture:
Acts 5:28 "'Didn't we tell you never again to teach in this man's name?' he demanded. 'Instead, you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about Him, and you want to make us responsible for his death'".
Observation:
The apostles had been busy preaching, healing, teaching, casting out devils, and performing signs and wonders. They were brought before the high priest and rulers of the synagogue because they were jealous of the apostles. One of the charges against them was simply awesome: "you have filled all Jerusalem with your teaching about him". What an awesome statement from someone who is opposing what you are doing. This is an incredible compliment!
Application:
In the day we live in, we need to take this example and begin to fill our cities with the word of God. God wants to fill cities with his knowledge, presence and power, but His people must be about His business. I want to see the day of revival come so strong that the ungodly accuse us of filling cities with God's good news.
Prayer:
Father, let your church have it's fire and passion restored. May we fill cities with Your knowledge. Help us to be the people You want us to be and to represent you well. Let is start in me. Forgive me for not sharing my faith more and help me to be more bold about you as the apostles of old were.
Yours,
Jeff
