Power to bear witness
But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
- Acts 1:8
Before ascending to heaven, Jesus spoke these words to His disciples. He had already talked to them about the Holy Spirit before His crucifixion. He told them that the Holy Spirit would accompany them, comfort them, and teach them what they should do (John 14:15–26).
The work of the Holy Spirit became evident in the lives of the disciples. The message of salvation through Jesus Christ spread throughout Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. It has reached you and me! No one can stop the work of the Holy Spirit on earth, because the Father’s desire is that everyone hears about Jesus and receives Him as Savior.
And if the Holy Spirit dwells in you, your heart’s desire should be for others to be saved. He empowers you to witness and guides you to impact the world with God’s love. Your way of sharing the message may differ from that of the disciples, but under the Spirit’s guidance and anointing, it can be just as effective.
Pray to God today to give you the opportunity to love someone with His love and in His name, and to allow you to testify about what He has done in your life. A word of encouragement, a cup of water, a smile… giving these with the Spirit’s anointing and in the Lord’s name might be exactly what someone needs to draw closer to God. Are you willing to be a channel of blessings today? Say yes to the Lord!

3 important attitudes in the Christian life
There are some things without which we cannot live: water, air, and food. In the Christian life there are also essential things: reading the Bible and learning from it, praying, and having fellowship with other believers. These three things help us grow and remain strong in Jesus. Without them, our faith grows cold, wavers, and dies.
Read the Bible and learn from it:
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
- 2 Timothy 3:16–17
In the Word of God you will find direction for your life, encouragement in the midst of difficulties, and wisdom to do the things that please God.
Discover the power of prayer:
Know that the Lord has set apart his faithful servant for himself;
the Lord hears when I call to him.
- Psalm 4:3
The Lord listens to the cry of those who are faithful to Him. Speak to the Lord and allow God to guide your steps.
Gather with other brothers and sisters in the faith:
How good and pleasant it is
when God’s people live together in unity!
It is like precious oil poured on the head,
running down on the beard,
running down on Aaron’s beard,
down on the collar of his robe.
It is as if the dew of Hermon
were falling on Mount Zion.
For there the Lord bestows his blessing,
even life forevermore.
- Psalm 133:1–3
God sends blessings and salvation when we gather with the purpose of praising together and encouraging one another. Value the family of faith and be present!

Let us be salt and light
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said that His disciples are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled underfoot. You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven
- Matthew 5:13–16
Jesus did not place any condition on our making a difference. He did not say that one day we would become salt and light if we did this or that. He said that we already are! This means that being salt and light is part of our identity as children of God. If we are disciples of the Lord, then naturally we should contribute our salt and our light for the spiritual well-being of the world.
But what does this mean in practice? Salt was very valuable in Jesus’ time. It helped preserve food so it would not spoil immediately. Back then, people did not have refrigerators in their homes. Salt was used to prevent food from decaying. In the same way, when we bring the flavor of Christ, we help keep society from declining and becoming corrupted.
We are also called to carry the light of Christ wherever we go. When we speak His words, love with His love, show His compassion, and fight for Christ’s justice in the world, we are being light. People see this and recognize the great impact of God’s movement in people’s lives.
Carry the Lord’s light and help preserve this world from the corruption of the enemy. Be salt and light for the glory of God!
