Scripture Union Daily Guide 24th May 2026 Outline
Pentecost was a special festival to thank God for new harvest known sometimes as the festival of weeks. This was celebrated 50 days after the Passover. Jews all over the world were encouraged to attend this festival which is the reason we had so many nationalities (v.5), of which 16 are mentioned by name including Africans (v.10). God’s timing was perfect. People from all over the world heard poor Galileans speak their native languages!
This was mind blowing and a miracle of huge proportions especially that the tongues were followed by tongues of fire landing on these people without being consumed! We see the cleansing effect of the Holy Spirit as fire in the life of the prophet Isaiah (6:6,7). Also, the wind signifies the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
Now read vs. 1–4 again and notice the importance of unity among the disciples as they awaited the promise (Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4–5). Praying in one accord is efficacious (Matthew 18:19 cf. Acts 4:24,31). Note also that the Holy Spirit filled and enabled all the disciples without exception (vs.4–8). The Holy Spirit is for all believers including you (Acts 2:39).
So what?
As we celebrate Pentecost today, use this occasion to renew your relationship with the Holy Spirit.
Prayer: Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me, break me, mould me, fill me, and use me…
