Chairman`s remarks and calling the house to order –

Pastor Donga read on Acts 2 and emphasised the importance of unity and support among all
departments and members. In the Upper room there were different people some gentiles but
all were united waiting for the same promise.
She explained it is remarkable that even before they were filled with the Spirit, the 120 could
dwell under the same roof without conflict. The reason is that they had spent the last several
years living in the very presence of Christ. Just days before, they had walked and talked with
Christ after He rose from the dead. His words and character and love so filled their thoughts
as to lift them up above pettiness in their dealings with each other.
She explained that we now are indwelt by the Holy Spirit which is a great advantage over the
believers in the Upper Room. But we have to reach the same high mark of unity among
ourselves. The Spirit should have practical control of our hearts, so that He can prevent any
outbreak of anger, lack of love, unity and purpose or self-will or self-serving.
For leaders to achieve unity of purpose and love, they should have full surrender to God as
the requirement we must meet to receive the same filling.
