PRAYING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY
The sort of person that is qualified and equipped to become an overseer, is one that sees his role as humbly overseeing God's people through the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit. A person should not become a leader in order to further their career... or to furnish their own honor, popularity, or credentials. They should humbly recognize that they are a servant of God whose heart should be blameless before the Lord and who should be both doctrinally sound and above reproach in their public and private life. A self-willed individual, who likes to dictate the rule of law, or who exhibits violent behavior or crude thinking, is totally inappropriate for this role of overseer, but so also is the one who is too timid and fearful to stand up for that which is right and true. The qualities of the overseer that are outlined in this epistle to Titus are, in effect, the characteristics that every child of God should seek to emulate. "For an overseer, as God's steward, must be above reproach. must not be arrogant or quick-tempered or a drunkard or violent or greedy for gain" Our United Prayer: Heavenly Father, we want to be the sort of people that are pleasing in Your sight. Help us to examine ourselves to see if there are any areas within our own lives and characters that could be displeasing to You. Furnish the church fellowships of our nations with godly overseers who will take responsibility to care for the flock of God, and use them, and us, in whatever way You may choose, to Your praise and glory. 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

2 Corinthians 2:17
"Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, as those sent from God." |
