Anything made or unmade, visible or unseen that is placed either before the Lord or alongside Him, is deemed to be an idol, for He will never share His honor with another. We read the following words from a well-loved hymn: "The dearest idol I have known, whate’er that idol be, help me to tear it from Thy throne, and worship only Thee," which captures the essence of what comprises an idol in any age, anything and everything, anyone and everyone that lays equal or greater claim to our affection for Jesus, is our own, personal idol. But the same hymn spells out the remedy that helps us to guard against the erection of such idols in our own lives: "O for A Closer Walk With God, a calm and heavenly frame, a light to shine upon the road, that leads me to the Lamb!" Dear children, keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, we know how easy it is for people, possessions, things, activities and customs, to creep into our lives and push You from the throne of our lives. Help us to stay ever close to You in thought, word, and deed, knowing that only as You are lifted up on the throne of our lives, will the things of this world take their proper, subordinate place. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
