"These all continued with ONE ACCORD in prayer and supplication..." Acts 1:14

As we study the book of Acts we need to remember this truly is a great record of the genesis of the church, 'church firsts', if you will.  The Lord ascended into Heaven and the Apostles and other disciples were left to there own!  We have learned that there first step was obedience, the Lord Jesus had asked them to go back to Jerusalem and wait for the Holy Spirit to come upon them, they did!  They were obedient.

Not only were they obedient, but they were in 'ONE ACCORD,' they were in harmony in agreement, seeking the Lord!  In order to be in agreement and harmony there had to be communication, they had to talk one with another, just like a regular household family, they had to work things out.  Then they prayed together and supplicated before the Lord.  They desperately cried out to the Lord for direction and His Presence and His Promise of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus had just left them and they saw the need to come together and seek the Lord, to wait upon the Lord!

As we learn this principle from the early church, we then realize that this principle is for us today!  I love it when I hear that people are getting together outside of the church facility, doing lunch, having a BBQ.  These are things that we ought to be doing as believers, getting together in ONE ACCORD! 

So, I encourage you seek to be in ONE ACCORD like the first century church!
