PRAYING TOGETHER AS A FAMILY
Not only have we been reconciled to God through Christ, but as members of His Body, we have been commissioned to carry out and continue the ministry of reconciliation that Jesus Himself started during His earthly life. It is not God's will that anyone should perish but that all come to faith in Jesus. So, He has made us His witnesses. We have become ambassadors for Christ. He Has Given Us The Ongoing Ministry of reconciliation so that others may hear the good news, trust in Jesus for the salvation of their soul, and be reconciled back to God. Not only through time but into eternity. It is as if God Himself were making an appeal to the lost through us. Today, God is ready to use us to be His ministers of reconciliation. Let's all be ready and willing to witness to a fallen world the wonderful works of God so that lost sinners may obtain eternal redemption through Christ and return into fellowship with our Heavenly Father, through time and into eternity. All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, what an amazing privilege that You should use such as us to be your mouthpieces and be used as an ambassadors for Christ, to a lost and hurting world. Enable us to share the news that God has reconciled us to Himself by Jesus Christ and that we can partake in that reconciliation, simply by believing in Him. We pray that many may come to trust in Jesus as their Savior in the days that lie ahead. In Jesus' name, AMEN. Too often, Christ's commission is only seen as an evangelistic call to lost sinners, but it has far wider implications for it is equally a call to teach those that are saved, all believers need to learn of Christ and to be grounded in the Word of God. God wants all people to be saved and also to come to a knowledge of the truth. It is a fact that all disciples of Christ are believers in Him, but not all believers in Christ become His disciples. Only a believer who is learning of Christ and growing in grace can truly be called a disciple of Christ. Only a believer who is being washed in the water of the Word, pressing on for their upward call in Christ Jesus, and maturing in their faith, can truly be called a disciple of Jesus. Let Us All Become True Disciples Of Christ as we learn more and more of Him. As we walk in Him, may the natural overflow be a desire to tell those we meet of the wonderful love of Christ Jesus and the salvation found in believing in Him. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, it is our desire to know You more, to learn more of You, and to become true disciples of Jesus Christ. Give us teachable spirits, we pray, so that we may grow in grace. We pray that You would enable us to go and disciple to others in Your strength so that together we come to a knowledge of the truth in Christ Jesus, in Whose name we Pray, AMEN. The godly are called to trust in the Lord and to hold fast to their faith, Our Hope Is In Christ. The believer is called upon to delight in the things of God, those are the qualities of life that have everlasting joy, eternal purpose, and heavenly rewards. We are to maintain our faith in the power and promises of God, He will vindicate all His children and His justice will shine as brightly as the sun. We are to be still in His presence and to patiently wait for the Lord to act on our behalf. Let us daily be still in the presence of the LORD as we wait patiently for Him to act. Do not worry about evil people who prosper nor fret about their wicked schemes, they will eventually be cut off. The LORD will rescue the godly from the wicked in His own time and His own way. Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. Our United Prayer:
Lord, forgive us for the times that we have allowed the wicked ways of the ungodly to disturb our rest in You. Keep us from anxious thoughts, and may we learn to be still in Your presence, to rest in Your love, and to wait patiently for You to act, knowing that You work all things together for our benefit and for Your glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. We should rejoice that as the elect of God, we are set apart for God and are being sanctified by the Spirit of God. We should live in obedience to our Lord Jesus Christ so that His grace and peace may be multiplied to all who are called by His name. It is only by God's abundant mercy that we have come to this living hope in Christ and, by God's grace, have been endowed with an inheritance that is incorruptible and will never fade away. The paradox of our faith is that we can rejoice in the midst of our suffering and distresses. The mystery of our call to glory is that we can rejoice greatly despite our trials and losses, because We Have An Unfailing Hope in our eternal inheritance and the glorious redemption of our bodies, through Jesus Christ our Lord. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You that we have been given new birth and a living hope through the Resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ. As we are being prepared for the coming glories of our heavenly home, help us to rejoice in our future hope despite the distresses of life’s various trials. May we keep a heavenly perspective, knowing that You have promised to keep us by Your mighty power. In Jesus' name we pray, AMEN. The Word of God is not only our plumb-line for truth but also should be Our Handbook For Life And Living. All Scripture have been written for our learning, but the New Testament gives specific guidance and instruction on living the Christian life in this Church dispensation. The instructions earlier in the epistle of James, cover a wide range of topics that enable the believer to live a life that is honoring to the Lord. It helps us to deal with trials and temptations in a godly manner. It warns of the futility of doubting God's Word and reminds us of the beautiful fruit that comes from a spirit of patience and grace. He warns against conceiving sin in our heart and the devastation that can be caused by an unguarded tongue. He exposes the dangers of allowing partiality to influence our judgement about other people, and teaches on faith and works, justification and sanctification, and the dangers of an unstable mind. James also teaches about the effects of true and false wisdom; the cause of covetousness and its righteous cure. And here in this verse, the apostle simply explains to his readers the consequences of knowing what is godly and honorable in the sight of the Lord, and yet refusing to carry it out. Therefore, he warns, to the one who knows the right thing to do yet does not do it, to him it is sin. Living the Christian life as God intended and instructed, should be the main aim of the Christian, and failure to do so is identified by James as a sin which should be confessed to the Lord and addressed in our life if we are to remain in holy fellowship with the Father and grow in grace, to His honor and glory. If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank You for this truth in the book of James that when we know what is righteous and yet do not do it, we are committing a sin in Your eyes. Forgive us for the times when we have known that something is evil but done it anyway, when we have avoided doing what is right, or when we have turned a blind eye to some need or necessity. We pray that from this day forward, we would not only know what is right but be ready and willing to carry it out, through Your strength and for Your greater glory. This we ask in Jesus' name, AMEN. |
