Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls. And they continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers. And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles. And all that believed were together, and had all things common; . Acts of Apostle 2:41-44

The life we live is in the heat of battle, we as Christians are in warfare. We all wrestle and battle for success in all areas of our life. Jacob told the Angel of God he would not let go until the Angel blessed him. The road to success is paved with sweat and hard work of the successful man. “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds” 2 Corinthians 10:4. As Children of God we are to make sacrifices and ensure that our warfare is Christ-centered.
It is very important that we increase significantly our prayer life. Spending time with God daily does wonders for the life of the believer. God seeks that we spend time with him; it is through this that the Spirit of God in us is strengthened. We need more of the Holy Spirit in our lives and ministry to ensure that our life runs smoothly.
In battle, everyone matters and all lines of battle are run smoothly. We as believers should ensure that there is proper rule of law and each soldier irrespective of rank knew where they belonged. We must be willing to live in unity with one another. The example Christ gave us was that we focus at God as our common interest. We are Christians because we love God and was saved by Christ who died and rose and now sits on the right side of God the father. “And all that believed were together, and had all things common.” Acts 2:44
