What creates great victory

Today I was reading from Acts 2:42-47, where we see the early church in a state of victory and so I thought I would talk about those principles and encourage you to apply them to your life and world today.  First, the early church devoted themselves to apostolic teaching, fellowship, breaking of bread and prayer.  Next, everyone was filled with awe at the miracles that God was doing hrough the apostles.  We need signs, wonders and miracles again to draw people to Christ.  The believers thirdly were together in one accord and sharing with each other what they need.  This was love in action.  Fourthly, they met for corporate worship and in cell groups meeting with glad and sincere hearts.  Lastly, they were prasing God and were favored among the people of Jerusalem and many were added to the church.  These principles are not for that day but for today.  My encouragement is to try and apply them to your life and world for the glory of God.
