Acts 1:4(NKJV)
And being assembled together with them, he commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the promise of the father, which he said, you have heard me.

WAITING FOR THE PROMISE.

Jesus is cautioning the disciples not to rush out in excitement to tell what they were about to see, but first wait in Jerusalem and be empowered by the Holy spirit who would give them the boldness to witness for Christ.

Many times our witnessing is ineffective because we get too excited and refuse to listen to God's instructions "to wait" and first assimilate our encounter, putting every piece together in it's right place.

In Luke 24:52, we learn that after Jesus had ascended to heaven, His disciples returned to Jerusalem with great Joy.
Similarly, many of us who have tested God's divine encounter can not contain the overflowing joy in our lives. As we worship in thanks giving, we want to run to everyone to testify about what we have seen God do for us, which doesn't seem wrong at all.

GOLDEN NUGGET:
God's spirit is already with us to fulfill God's purpose in our lives. But we must give Him room to work through us. May we prayerfully purpose to learn how to wait upon God and not rush in excitement, so that we can be fully equipped by His power to effectively carry out His mission here on earth.

PRAYER:
Dear heavenly Father, we thank you for the love, care and blessings upon us. Open for us gate and doors to conquer this world and fulfill our purpose, as we are waiting for your promise to us in Jesus name. Amen.

POWER OVER SIN

ELGON MISSION TEAM ~ DAILY DEVOTION Bible study department Sunday 16th June,2024 Galatians 5:24 (TLB) Those who belong to be Christ have nailed their natural evil desires to his cross and crucified them there.   POWER OVER SIN The strength for our conquering and our victory is drawn continually from Christ. The Bible does not teach that sin is completely eradicated from the Christian in this life, but it does teach that sin shall no longer reign over you.  The strength and power of sin have been broken. The Christian now has resources available to live above and beyond this world. The Bible teaches that whosoever is born of God does not practice sin. It is like the little girl who said that when the devil came knocking with a temptation, she just sent Jesus to the door.

ACKNOWLEDGING EVERY GOOD Saturday 27th May 2023 Elgon Bible Study Department Philemon 1:6 KJV That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. Paul, a prisoner of Jesus Christ, and Timothy write unto Philemon a dearly beloved fellow labourer, to Apphia, Archippus and the church in his house thanking God for their faith and love towards the Lord and the saints. In our theme verse, Paul is making a prayer for them, that the communication of their faith be effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing in them in Christ Jesus.

THE PERFECT HEART

ELGON MISSION TEAM DEVOTIONAL Bible Study Department Thursday, 21st September 2023 Romans 8:27 AMP And He Who searches the hearts of men knows what is in the mind of the [Holy] Spirit [what His intent is], because the Spirit intercedes and pleads [before God] in behalf of the saints according to and in harmony with God's will. A PERFECT HEART       The Word has made us known that even the thinking faculty of a man is based on the state of his heart. Prov 23:7; says that for as he thinketh in his heart, so is he. That's why in our theme scripture Ap Paul talks about the heart and then the mind. There's only one hinderance we have for us to walk in the full liberty set before us, our hearts have to be consecrated a certain way for us to be able to contain and then walk in those liberties. Because if a heart of a man isn't yet ready to sustain the glory which comes which the anointing, it can kill him But thanks be to God that He fulfilled His promise of a new ...
