Day 263: Prayer for the raising up of the home meetings as the life pulse of the God-ordained way

Pray that all the saints would realize that the life pulse of the practice of the God-ordained way is the homes and would open their home for meetings for the increase and building up of the church (Acts 2:46-47 and note 46³; 5:42; 16:15; Rom. 16:5a and note 5²; 1 Cor. 16:19 and note 19¹; Col. 4:15 and note 15¹).

Acts 2:46-47—And day by day, continuing steadfastly with one accord in the temple and breaking bread from house to house, they partook of their food with exultation and simplicity of heart, praising God and having grace with all the people. And the Lord added together day by day those who were being saved.

Acts 5:42—And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and announcing the gospel of Jesus as the Christ.

Acts 16:15—And when [Lydia] was baptized, as well as her household, she entreated us, saying, If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and abide. And she constrained us.

Rom. 16:5a—And greet the church, which is in their house.

1 Cor. 16:19—The churches of Asia greet you. Aquila and Prisca greet you much in the Lord, with the church, which is in their house.
