Exposition
The day of Pentecost had fully come as Jesus had promised the disciples.
They were filled with the Holy Spirit and they began to speak in new tongues.
The news of what was happening spread all over Jerusalem and people gathered
and wondered at the spectacle they were hearing for the disciples were speaking
the many languages of those who gathered. Those gathered were amazed and some said
the disciples were drunk with wine. Peter rose up and declared that what was
being witnessed was a fulfilment of prophecy.
I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh – The Holy Spirit is the third person in the
Trinity of God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The outpouring
of the Holy Spirit on those who were separated from God because of sin and are
now united with Him through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit
therefore cleanses and renews those who become members of the family of God.
The Holy Spirit does not discriminate on the basis of tribe or ethnicity, age,
sex or social standing.
The pouring of the Holy Spirit indicates how abundant the blessings from
God are. With the entrance of the Holy Spirit into the life of a believer, a
divine ability to fulfil purpose is released upon such a person. The illiterate
fisherman that Peter was, suddenly was able to speak with power and on this
day, 3000 men were added to the Church!!
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams – To prophesy is to teach with authority, to
predict future events as inspired by the Holy Spirit and to lead the praise and
worship of God under the influence of the Holy Spirit to mention a few.
God communicates with His children especially those with the prophetic
unction by revealing things to them through visions. He also makes His will
known by speaking through dreams. The gift of visions and dreams is available
to all you desire them in accordance with the word of God.
Prayer
Pour your spirit upon me O
God. Let everything that is not right in me be flushed out by the Holy Spirit.
Rather than death, let life flow out of me. Let your spirit ignite unity in the
body of Christ. Let divisions come to an end. Let the power of the Holy Spirit
drive away fear in me. I will start a new walk of boldness in Jesus name.
Communicate with me Father, Let me dream dreams, let me see visions of heaven O
God. Let your name be glorified in Jesus name. Amen
