Bishop David invites you to join him for the last of his 40 daily Lent devotionals exploring Revival and the early chapters of Acts.
Day 40
Fewer than 10% of the population of Ireland are in a church of any denomination on any given Sunday. We need to pray for revival. Let’s each of us cry out to God for a significant move of the Holy Spirit.
Day 39
Acts 4:12 – There is only one way to God and only one truth. Jesus is the only source of salvation. Come to Christ today!
Day 38
Acts 9:10-22 – When a person is converted to Christ, they have a whole new relationship with God and God’s Church. Let’s be prepared to welcome new believers into our congregations.
Day 37
Acts 9:4-9 – To be converted is to come to know the person of Christ through experiencing his presence, hearing his voice, realising who Jesus is and surrendering to him.
Day 36
Acts 9:1-9 – Saul’s conversion on the road to Damascus. Saul was persecuting the church, but he had a personal encounter with Jesus. In seasons of revival, we see the sovereign grace of God heightened, and so we pray especially for the conversion of those who oppose God.
Day 35
Acts 8:36-39 – The Ethiopian believes and is immediately baptised. May we see a mighty move of God such that many adults come to faith and are baptised.
Day 34
Acts 8:26-39 – The importance of ‘the one’. Philip is guided by God to explain the gospel to just one person – the Ethiopian eunuch. Let’s be intentional about inviting people to church and getting the Bible into their hands.
Day 33
Acts 8:9-12 – Times of revival inevitably expose the works of darkness but Satan and all his demons are no match for Jesus who is Lord of all. In the account of Simon the Magician we see the absolute necessity of repentance.
Day 32
Acts 8:4-8 – Following the martyrdom of Stephen, Philip takes the gospel to Samaria, a region hostile to the Jews. But when the Holy Spirit moves, he breaks down barriers. May God stir us to take the gospel to all, without exception.
Day 31
Acts 6:8 and Acts 8:3 – Across our world and despite opposition down the centuries the gospel has been unstoppable. We pray today for the persecuted church.
