“And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.” Acts 2:1-6

As saints of God it is imperative that we understand that in order for God’s power to be made manifest in the earth we must first be on one accord. Referencing the book of Acts chapter 2, it was not until all men were of one accord on the day of Pentecost that God was able to pour out His Spirit. And notice what occurred after all were of one mind and God’s power showed up. They were then able to influence the lost world by miraculous interpretive abilities. Before the earthly manifestation of God’s Spirit, the only people capable of grasping the relevant power of the Christ were those who had directly walked with Him or had witnessed actual signs and wonders during His ministry. However, since Jesus had been taken up into heaven it was necessary that He leave a remnant of Himself in order for His ministry to proceed until His return.

With the power of the Holy Spirit, the men present during that day were able to speak the Gospel in other tongues; revealing to the lost what Jesus and His ministry were truly about. The “ACTS” days are still present, and are even more relevant today as the world turns further and further away from the Truth. However, believers will only have influence over the lost when we are able to speak their language. And this translation of the Gospel will not be revealed until we are on one accord.

So if your ministry, in whatever capacity, is not bringing in lost souls daily into the body of Christ, it’s time to do a unity check. Is everyone on one accord? Is every believer in your circle’s main mission really to save souls? Answer these questions honestly. Until then, unbelievers will never hear (and understand) Christ’s Gospel because discord among the saints hinders our ability to speak in their language.

Can you hear me now? Good.
