"Lord, give me what I need to be as courageous, bold, and fruitful as the early church." This should be all of our prayer.
Please dwell on the implications of Acts 16:5 - "So the churches were strengthened in the faith and grew daily in numbers." For this to happen, all of the believers had to be sharing their faith continuously and God was giving them great fruitfulness.
Now combine this witnessing with the impression of outsiders stated in Acts 17:6 - "These men who have caused trouble all over the world." The world sees evangelizing as causing trouble. people don't like trouble - they work to oppose it and stop it. We must be courageous and not be worried about causing "trouble."
Pray: "Lord, give me what I need to be as courageous, bold, and fruitful as the early church."
