WITNESSING AND PRAYING FOR THE KINGDOM EXPANSION
Happy New Month, you are all welcome to the month of October. I speak goodness, signs and wonders into your lives and that of your families, this season/period will not swallow any of your loved ones in Jesus name- amen.

Our theme for this month is: Witnessing and Praying for the Kingdom Expansion, Which is taking from the book of Acts 4:31-34.

First and foremost what is the meaning of witnessing?
According to dictionary, it means “One who has seen or heard something” and “one who has furnished evidence.”
And the word expansion is Growth- increase in all sides and areas, plenty etc.
While Prayer is communication to God. Talking to God as your Father.

Despite knowing that, we will be dealing on a sub-topic under the theme one after the other, today we will be looking at The Power of United Prayer.

Acts 4:31, we see that after the believers prayed, the place was shaken, they were filled with the Holy Spirit, and spoke the Word of God with boldness.
Prayer united the church and empowered their witness. The Holy Spirit there is speaking in various tongues, the language that only God understand when we speak it.

Point Outlines:

The Role of Corporate Prayer: The Bible says when two or more come together in my Name and pray I will come in their midst and answer them, therefore, we all need to be in one spirit when praying, Acts 4:31, emphasizes the significance of believers coming together to prayer in love and unity not with envy or division of spirit.

Matthew 18:19-20,highlights the promise of Gods presence and actions when believers pray together,
James 5:16,shows that the prayers of the righteous are powerful and effective, understanding how collective prayer empowers the church to witness boldly and effectively for the kingdom.

I encourage you all to commit to collective prayers, seeking God for boldness and divine opportunities to witness.
