October 18


You must search for God´s will for your life.
Insist on Reading the Bible .
God wants your faithfulness.
He just wants from you yourself!
And He wants you 100%!
Just take the first step and He will do the rest.
He promises that He will take care!
Depend on God!
He is able to satisfy all your necessities.
Search for Him and learn from Him!
The more you know the Lord, The more He will talk to you and change you.

"A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. It is better to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart. Frustration is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart."
Ecclesiastes 7:1-3
 
God is telling you:-Consider your life! How important is it to you to live  righteously?
The Word of God gives you Peace in times of war. It gives joy in times of sadness.
 
"Rejoice in the Lord Always. I will say it again: Rejoice!" Philippians 4:4
"Therefore, my Brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!" Philippians 4:1
"And the Peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:7
 
It doesn´t mean that you don´t care. You live ok because you live in Peace. And Peace is to have a calm mind.
"I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it." Philippians 4:10
Regardless the circumstances.
"I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want." Philippians 4:12
You must change your perspective of life. Rejoicing in the Lord is more than conquering things. You must be influenced by the Holy Spirit. Joy is part of the fruit of the Spirit:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, Peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness," Galatians 5:22
So, you can´t live happily if you are not filled with the Holy Spirit.
The Bible brings joy to your life. You see so many examples of God working favorably to His people.
"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. now remain in my love. If you keep my commands you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father´s commands and remain in his love. I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete." John 15:9-11
We rejoice because of God´s joy in us!
Earthly things can´t make you satisfied completely.
"He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passes away." Revelation 21:4

The Fellowship of the First Believers
Acts 2:42-47
 
"They devoted themselves to the apostles´ teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer."
  • They dedicated themselves to learning and we imitate them. You come to church to learn. Every meeting in the church or small groups has a message for you. Even if you know the Bible by heart, believe there is something else new for you to learn.
  • They recognized the authority  of the apostles. Do you recognize the importance of your pastor? Do you love your church? Do you stand up for it? Do you guard it?
  • They devoted to fellowship. Coming to church is a chance  to meet your friends. (Hebrews 10:24-25)
  • They shared food and prayers.  It´s very important to eat together. Jesus did this several times. He also prayed together. And those christians were together praying. This way they were calling Jesus´presence.
"Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles."
  • They were not afraid, they feared God. The presence of God was so real that they wanted to stay together. They were witnessing miracles! (Mark 16:17)
"All the believers were together and had everything in common."
  • They were United under the same doctrine.They were all baptized. They were been trained to heaven! 
  • If you are coming to church and you don´t like this Christian environment (the praises, the worship...) what are you expecting from heaven?
"Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need."
  • When we are together celebrating, we have the chance to share something we have as food, juice... That´s part of your propoerty.
  • God can ask you for something else. (Matthew 19:21)
  • Pay attention you will be charged for everything that comes to your hand to do. (Colossians 3:23-24; Ecclesiastes 9:10)
  • Remember that your property goes beyond what money can buy.
"Everyday they continued to meet together in the temple courts, They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,"
  • They had services everyday in the temple. Those who couldn´t be at the temple brake bread in their houses. We also can do this! Getsêmani Church has services daily, also in the 67 missions!
  • Gather your Family! Visit a church in you neighborhood! Promote services at home!Offer your house to host a cell group! Share a devotional book with a friend using internet!
"praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."
  • The number of saved people was increasing!
  • They were happy people! They sang, they celebrated, they rejoiced in the Lord!
  • They were nice! Others liked them! They were pleasant people!
  • Their number was increasing of course because of the actoin of God. But, the way they behaved counted. No one likes to be close to boring people... Or a murmurer...
