Showers of blessings
Reverend N Murambadoro
Acts 11:15-16
"“As I began to speak,” Peter continued, “the Holy Spirit fell on them, just as he fell on us at the beginning.
Then I thought of the Lord’s words when he said, ‘John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.’
Peter stated the whole affair to Brethren in Jerusalem. We should at all times bear with the infirmities of our brethren; and instead of taking offence, or answering with warmth, we should explain our motives, and show the nature of our proceedings.
That preaching is certainly right, with which the HOLY STIRIT is given.
While men are very zealous for their own regulations, they should take care that they do not withstand GOD; and those who love the LORD will glorify HIM, when made sure that HE has given repentance to life to any fellow-sinners.
Repentance is GOD'S gift; HIS grace takes away the heart of stone, and gives us a heart of flesh. Giving reference to Pentecost also reminded them of GOD'S Grace and fulfillment of GOD'S promises about HOLY SPIRIT baptism. This passage teaches us about the grace of GOD, that is impartial.
And when some Brethren seem not to understand the new thing, that the LORD has done, we shouldn't take offense on their ignorance. Amen.
Blessings and Shalom
Rev and Family.
