Daily Devotional and Daily Verse
" A short excerpt from Dr. John Patrick"
One of the main things a Christian should do is practice acts 2:42
And they continued steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in prayers.
On continuing in the apostles doctrine.. It is important to read the word of God. Read a psalm a day and say the Lord’s prayer 2 times and ask God to stop you on a particular point and see what god is saying about it. When you read other passages of scriptures it is important to know how to put them in your own terms, not just memorize the scriptures verbatim. Each Christian should take some time and work on condensing a chapter of scripture down to its purest form to know what it is saying. It will help you to memorize the passage.
On fellowship and breaking of bread: Find a support network of Christians. Get close to people who know how to pray. Have them to call you and ask you: Have you said your prayers today? Have you read your Bible today? And Have you just lied to me right now? Be encouraged, If you haven’t they can read to you and pray with you, and at that moment start over. It is a part of bearing one another’s burdens, but you do need to stretch yourself. ( Tip, if you can not afford time to read download an audio bible and listen to a passage on a drive or the gym or at some free time)
On other things: Write down your story of conversion. Conversion is not an absolute for everyone. Everyone will have a different point of where God has brought them from. At times when we are at our lowest God will remind of from where we came from. It is important to have your testimony.
