Ephesians 4:11-12 (NKJV) 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
In the 1700’s a little man in England, a cobbler by trade, who kept a map of the world on a wall of his workshop so that he could pray for the nations of the world, became burdened for a definite missionary outreach. When he shared his burden at a meeting of ministers, he was told by one of the senior men of God: “Young man, sit down. When God wants to convert the heathen, He will do it without your help or mine.” [Sounds very spiritual]. William Carey was called a foolish, impractical dreamer because he learned foreign languages. Even after he became a minister he was called foolish. But William Carey did not let the fire of his enthusiasm be dampened by such a response, and eventually he left the shores of England for those of India, where he engaged in pioneer missionary work, doing exploits for God. His attacks came from his own people.
If the church and church leadership had stood behind him to send him and support him … [what a great help it would have been?]
If he had listened to his church leaders he would not be able to do God’s Will. And India would be … [Perhaps India will still be in the “stone age” in every area of its life; Perhaps until today widows will be jumping into fire; perhaps there will be still human sacrifice, … ].
Friends out there –Please do not stop dreaming in HIM. Please do not allow the church or the church leadership to hold you back and stop you from fulfilling your destiny in HIM [God’s Purpose].
Choose to obey God and do not allow any men, devil or situation to stop you from doing that.

GOD SO LOVED

Ephesians 4:11-12 (NKJV) 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

John 3:16 (NKJV) For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
God loved the world that HE GAVE His BEST. HE gave HIS ONLY begotten SON.
To Whom? To a world that was good? NO –While the world was in rebellion that HE Gave.
When the whole world was an enemy of God that HE Gave. He did not wait for us to change our ways. But while we were sinners He gave.
Now we have come into this family and we understand this better. We are no more enemies but His sons. [Women –you too are sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus (Gal 3:26) women and men are sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus]. Sons behave like their Father [like Father like Son]. Our talk and walk are the same.
But not all in the family behave the same way.
The eldest son in the prodigal story of Jesus [Luke 15:11-31] was part of the family but was not behaving like the Father. Why? Most of the time he was in the field, working very hard to earn the Love of The Father. Many are like the eldest son working very hard to earn the Love of The Father. They are not focused on restoration of lives BUT on self. I, ME and MYSELF. [My family, My Church, My Project, My car, My work and My dog] The eldest son was called a son but behaved like an orphan. For example jealousy, selfishness, possessiveness, greed, strive, competitive spirit are found in those who have a orphans mentality. That is why there is so much of competition and comparing among the local churches. This divides the church and brings destruction. Instead of giving away Love that they have received from the Father [including resources- people, finances, teaching and training] they hoard or use for their “own empire” work and projects. Sons have the same heart of the Father. They give. They share. They distribute. They build lives. They rejoice when they see lives are restored. They are responsible. They are active. They Walk and Work together with the Father.
In the OT we see [Joshua 1:12-15] the 2 and ½ tribes who already have their inheritance [was easy for them] crossed over and helped their brethren get their inheritance. This is the way of God. If we belong to the family of God His life flows, His flavor flows, His character flows, His LOVE FLOWS.
We are SONS of GOD. Let us behave like one. The whole world is waiting for the SONS of GOD to be revealed. When they show up they will reveal the FATHER’s Heart very clearly. They WILL bring Restoration. They WILL RESTORE ALL THINGS.
Pray for us and the nations we touch through HIS GRACE.

SPEAK THE WORD BOLDY WITH LOVE

Ephesians 4:11-12 (NKJV) 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,
Today Malaysian Christians are close to a similar situation. We are threatened by political and religious authorities to SHUT UP. It happened in the past and it is happening again.
The religious leaders had the apostles beaten and put in prison and threatened strictly not to speak in Jesus Name.
Acts 4:16-21 (NKJV) 16 saying, “What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. 17 But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them that from now on they speak to no man in this name.” 18 So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. 19 But Peter and John answered and said to them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. 20 For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard.” 21 So when they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way of punishing them, because of the people, since they all glorified God for what had been done.
This was the prayer of the disciples Acts 4:29-30 (NKJV) 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to your servants that with all boldness they may speak your word, 30 by stretching out your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy Servant Jesus.”
This was what God did in them and through them as they prayed
Acts 4:31 (NKJV) 31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God with boldness.
Beaten and put in prison
Acts 5:18 (NKJV) and laid their hands on the apostles and put them in the common prison.

BUT could not stop the disciples from obeying God.
Acts 5:29 (NKJV) But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.
Followers of Christ Jesus should follow the example of the 1st century apostles and choose to obey God "We ought to obey God rather than men."
My beloved Friends let us be filled and be Full of LOVE, WISDOM and BOLDNESS preach the Gospel of the Kingdom of God always and when needed use Words. This Gospel is for EVERYONE.

Lost In Church?


Lost In Church?
We have often heard that the people in the world are lost without Christ. But these days, many of us Christians are ourselves lost ~ lost in church. Lost in our journeys with the Lord, wandering in our own wildernesses and religious circles. The world at large is lost, and so is the church! This may seem highly impossible, but this is exactly what Jesus said would happen in Matthew 7:21-23:

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,'
shall enter the kingdom of heaven,
but he who does the will of My Father in heaven.
Many will say to Me in that day,
'Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name,
cast out demons in Your name,
and done many wonders in Your name?'
And then I will declare to them,
'I never knew you; depart from Me,
you who practice lawlessness!'

Looking closely at these verses, we will find that many of these "lost" people are not just ordinary church members sitting in the church pews every week but they are the leaders and the ministers in the church! They are not just a small isolated few individuals, but a large group of people! Jesus said many would be involved! If many of these Christian leaders are lost and going astray, many of their members and followers will be lost too. The apostle Peter revealed this lost condition of the church in 2 Peter 2:1-2:

But there were also false prophets among the people,
even as there will be false teachers among you,
who will secretly bring in destructive heresies,
even denying the Lord Who bought them,
and bring on themselves swift destruction.
And many will follow their destructive ways,
because of whom the way of truth will be blasphemed.

Many of them will deny the Lord, and will be denied by the Lord Himself! They may think that they have the spiritual gifts such as prophesying, casting out demons and working miracles, done even in the name of Jesus, but they are lawless in the sight of God, practicing lawlessness! What is lawlessness? It is summed up in just one word "unloving" - not loving God and others! Jesus again said in Matthew 24:12:

And because lawlessness will abound,
the love of many will grow cold.

The love of many Christians will grow cold. And many will be indifferent or lukewarm towards God and others. Many will lose their zeal and passion to seek God and to do His will! How does our love for God or others grow cold? The moment we embrace things of the world more than the things of God! The moment we esteem ourselves and our interests above those of others! The moment we start worshipping money instead of God! The moment we stop seeking the kingdom of God and His righteousness!

But know this, that in the last days
perilous times will come:
For men will be lovers of themselves,
lovers of money, boasters, proud,
blasphemers, disobedient to parents,
unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving,
slanderers, without self-control, brutal,
despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God,
having a form of godliness but denying its power.
And from such people turn away! (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

We are living in very difficult times. The world climate may be in terrible crisis and condition but much worse is the condition and crisis of human hearts. For people will love only themselves, and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will not consider what is holy and what is not. They will be unloving and unforgiving. They will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their own friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasures rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Many Christians do not have close friends. If they do, their friends would be those they can exploit, take advantage of, use or misuse. And people like these are numerous among us! And we may be one of them.

For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this:
"You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Galatians 5:14)

Without obeying this one law, we become lawless, and practice lawlessness! Many Christians working inside the church and outside the church are lawless in God's eyes! We don't have agape love. God is not impressed with our sermons, our signs and wonders, our prophecies etc. Others look at the outside, God looks at the inside - the heart factor!

"Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature,
because I have refused him.
For the LORD does not see as man sees;
for man looks at the outward appearance,
but the LORD looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7)

God looks at the heart, but man always chooses to look somewhere else. In fact, man still chooses to look at the outward appearances. Hollywood and Bollywood have entered the church arenas. Many churches have become show business! Many pastors and preachers have become entertainers and guru stars themselves. Most music in the churches today no longer draws men to God and God to men. The worship teams are performers, and the congregations have become the audiences, enjoying or not enjoying what they see, hear or feel! It is now all about how we feel and not how God will feel! Our preferences of likes and dislikes will determine how the church services will be conducted. In praise and worship, biblically speaking, God is the Audience of One, and we are the worshippers! And God desires true worshippers! Our utmost desire is to please Him and not ourselves!
Today, many people do not wish to listen to sound and wholesome teachings. They will follow their own desires, looking for preachers and teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear. They will reject the truth of God, chasing after myths and false teachings, and compromising with the standards and values of the world.

For the time will come
when men will not put up with sound doctrine.
Instead, to suit their own desires,
they will gather around them
a great number of teachers to say
what their itching ears want to hear.
They will turn their ears away from the truth
and turn aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:3-4)

People love to look at other people either to admire, compare or criticize! And Christians are no exceptions! We love the visuals, the sounds and the razzle-dazzles! Sometimes, we secretly "worship" eloquent preachers and inspirational teachers, admiring them for their spiritual giftings and pulpit showmanship. We are called to worship the invisible God! But we choose to worship the visible! We love doing church, and going through the religious motions and activities! That's why Jesus would say that He does not know many of us. Many of us are known in our churches and congregations, but we may be unknown nobodies in God's eyes!

The Lord says:
"These people come near to me with their mouth
and honor Me with their lips,
but their hearts are far from Me.
Their worship of Me
is made up only of rules taught by men.
Therefore once more I will astound these people
with wonder upon wonder;
the wisdom of the wise will perish,
the intelligence of the intelligent will vanish." (Isaiah 29:13-14)

Many of us are far away from God! Many of us have lost the joy of our salvation, lost our faith in God, lost our trust in God and in man, lost our pursuit of holiness, lost our desires to do good, lost our passions to win souls, lost our love for God and others, and eventually we lost ourselves! Remember the story of the Israelites! They are God's chosen people, yet many of them strayed away from God even though God was with them 24 hours a day, seven days a week!

And the LORD went before them
by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way,
and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light,
so as to go by day and night. (Exodus 13:21)

God called His people stiff-necked, rebellious! They were like sheep who have gone astray, each turning to his own way! In fact, all of the Israelites died in the wilderness, and not one of them was left except Caleb and Joshua. Only their children and children's children entered into the Promised Land! That's why we must remain refreshed and renewed in our relationship with God. God is our Father, and we are His children! We cannot afford to be dull of hearing, having hardened hearts!

We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to his own way;
and the LORD has laid on Him
the iniquity of us all. (Isaiah 53:6)
'Go to this people and say:
"Hearing you will hear, and shall not understand;
And seeing you will see, and not perceive;
For the hearts of this people have grown dull.
Their ears are hard of hearing,
And their eyes they have closed,
Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears,
Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn,
So that I should heal them."' (Acts 28:26-27)

Judas Iscariot was with Jesus for 3½ years. He was the perfect example of one who is lost in church! He was personally chosen by Jesus Himself to be one of His 12 apostles! Very privileged and honored. He was in the same company with Jesus. He ate, slept, worked and journeyed with the Lord! He was the Lord's treasurer! Jesus entrusted him with all His finances! Judas had heard the best sermons spoken directly out of the mouth of Jesus! He saw the miracles, signs and wonders that Jesus did! He witnessed and experienced divine love as Jesus reached out and touched the multitudes! Judas also tasted the goodness of the Lord as Jesus washed his feet. He knew what true servanthood was! But in the end, he chose otherwise. He traded the life of a beloved Friend for 30 pieces of silver! He betrayed Christ! That's the saddest part of the gospel story when Judas committed suicide after all the damages were done! I believe Jesus had forgiven him. On the cross, Christ prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." I believe the pronoun "them" includes Judas. Though Jesus had forgiven him, but Judas just couldn't forgive himself! Like Judas, will we betray the Lord? or will we deny Him like Peter? or will we run away from knowing Him like the other apostles?
Peter denied knowing the Lord thrice but he came to his senses and repented. The Lord forgave him, and reaffirmed him! Like Peter, we must know our own hearts and spiritual conditions. The worst thing we can do is to pretend that we are alright when we are not. The sick must see a doctor, and the lost must find the way home! We cannot afford to go on doing the same things week in and week out! We must turn back and return to God! Like the prodigal son who was lost, we must realize our own wretchedness and go back to the Father in repentance! Before God the Father, we must be transparent. God sees and knows all things! He will forgive, He will restore! Never let our pride and ego prevent us from approaching God! And we may taste His amazing grace again!

Amazing grace!
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see.

BE STRONG AND ENCOURAGES

Ephesians 4:11-12 (NKJV) 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,

Dear Friends, allow me to share a thought with you. When Jesus was on earth [flesh and blood] the recognized, established religious system functioned from the temple. The recognized “church” was meeting in the Temple. The recognized leaders were functioning from the Temple. Jesus and His apostles were functioning outside of the Temple [though there are times he has ministered in the synagogue and the Temple premises.

John 18:20 (NKJV) 20 Jesus answered him, “I spoke openly to the world. I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where the Jews always meet, and in secret I have said nothing.

The Pharisees [the Pastors of Jesus time] did not recognize Jesus and His ministry. They looked down upon Him and in fact they said He was doing ministry through the power of Satan.

Matthew 12:24 (NKJV) 24 Now when the Pharisees heard it they said, “This fellow does not cast out demons except by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons.”

The Pharisees felt Jesus was not a man of God and they rejected Jesus.

John 9:16 (NKJV) 16 Therefore some of the Pharisees said, “This Man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath.” Others said, “How can a man who is a sinner do such signs?” And there was a division among them.



Matthew 21:42 (NKJV) 42 Jesus said to them, “Have you never read in the Scriptures: ‘The stone which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. This was the Lord’s doing, and it is marvelous in our eyes’?



Luke 6:22 (NKJV) 22 Blessed are you when men hate you, and when they exclude you, And revile you, and cast out your name as evil, For the Son of Man’s sake.



John 15:18-20 (NKJV) 18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you. 20 Remember the word that I said to you, ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you. If they kept My word, they will keep yours also.



Friends, if you are hated and rejected by the “super pastors” do not be discouraged because they did it to our Lord Jesus first. They reject and look down upon you because they rejected Jesus first. If you are not included in the elite group of the “super pastors” do not worry. You are in the Team of God. The elite group of “super pastors” might ignore you and side line you hoping that you and your ministry will die off but you be strong and courageous- God, who called you is faithful He will uphold you in His Right hand and protect, provide and guide you. Your names might not appear in the magazine of man but your names will appear in the magazine of God. Be strong and courageous and continue to do the work of God. He is with you and will provide for you. All that is needed from you is that you remain in HIM and he will work in you and through you. It does not matter whether the “super pastors” recognize you but it is important that God recognize you.

During Jesus ministry on earth, finances of the Old Testament Church were put into the Temple treasury [store house]. All the finances were given for the welfare of the Pharisees and Religious Leaders functioning from the Temple [Pastors and Theologians of Jesus time]. They should have accepted Jesus and His apostles as God’s servants and taken care of them BUT they did not.

God moved some women to take care of Jesus and His apostles.

Mark 15:41 (NKJV) who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.



Luke 8:3 (NKJV) and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance.

In the old days God used man like Obadiah to take care of His prophets and ravens to feed His Prophet. The same God will take care of your needs.

Be strong and courageous and speak the truth, do not hold back. Speak up for those who cannot speak.

ACCEPTING ONE ANOTHER

Ephesians 4:11-12 (NKJV) 11 And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, 12 for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ,



Dear Friends and Partners, we thank you for your love and support that you have shown us all these years. Without God and you, we would not have come this far. Thank you once again. As we realise that the Day of our Lord is at our “door step” we have a responsibility to cross our door step and go to the nations and prepare a people for HIS Coming. Over these years we have come to observe that there are many nations that are very near our “door step” that we cannot deny or ignore.



Friends,



q How many times do we fail to recognize the Lord because He comes to us in a form we are not used to? If we become comfortable with the Pentecostal form, we will not recognize the Lord if He tries to come to us through a Baptist form. If we become used to the Charismatic form, we will not recognize Him if He tries to come to us as a Pentecostal. The reason for this is spiritual racism. Racism is not just between physical races but against people groups who are different from us, whether the differences are based on actual race, religion, culture, geography, or other factors that make people different.



q America does not need to go to the nations to reach the nations. One of the great missionaries of our time, Bob Weiner, has spent most of his adult life trying to get the church to understand that almost every major nation is represented in the student body of our universities. At one count, sixty of the world’s political leaders had been educated in the United States . Many foreign students are lonely, far from family, friends, and culture, and they are wide open to the gospel. In one poll of foreign students, one of their greatest desires (second only to an education) was for an American friend.



q Both the man who planned the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor and the man who commanded the Japanese forces during that attack were educated at an Ivy League School . Both of these men were offended by the racist treatment they received in the United States . How might history have been changed if they had been treated differently? A significant number of Islamic leaders who now call the U.S. “the great Satan” were also educated here. How might our present world be different if we had loved and befriended them while they were in our country? Our future could be greatly impacted if we would repent of our racism and begin to love the foreigners in our midst as we are commanded to do.



Friends, I have observed in my own country Malaysia, with all the efforts made by our prime Minister to unite our nation there are forces that are at work to divide the nation. All though an observation from a distance it looks like there is unity in this nation BUT the fact is that there is a strong under current among the races in Malaysia. One look at the church we might think that it is also united [from far it looks like that] But the facts is it is divided. In order to create a sense of belonging among the different races in the church of Jesus Christ we need to love one another, accept one another, care for one another, and give without any hidden agenda. Give to build the other. We need to give like God gave. God gave His best to a people who rebelled against HIM. Let us follow the example of our God. Let us Give ourselves to the up building of our brothers and sisters [does not matter what race they belong to / whether they are rich or poor / whether they are spiritual or not / black, white, yellow or green] and go further out of “our door step” and start welcoming the nations that have come into our nation and start treating them with dignity. Instead of exploiting them start investing in their lives.



Proverbs 14:31 (NKJV) He who oppresses the poor reproaches his Maker, But he who honors Him has mercy on the needy.

Proverbs 22:16 (NKJV) He who oppresses the poor to increase his riches, And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty.

The National Day of World Prayer



Father, we thank you that you are on your throne and in control even though the whole world is in a chaotic condition. I pray for the world leaders that the healthy fear of God will come into their hearts. That they will love you and love the people and build the people. We come against all leaders [national and church leaders] who are corrupted and have oppressed the people in Jesus name that they be exposed and expelled in Jesus Name. In place Father, raise up men and women who will lead the nations with integrity of heart. We come against all forms of injustice, violence, lawlessness, immorality, homosexuality, lesbianism, adultery, and fornication, all forms of addiction, exploitation, and racialism in Jesus Name. We pray for your Kingdom to come in every city and towns and villages. We pray that you will rule in every individual’s hearts and families and departments. We pray Father that you will pour out your Spirit according to your word [your love, your justice, your healing, your deliverance, and bring your change beginning with your people and over flowing into the nations -oh God] upon all flesh. We pray Father that truly your People who are called by your Name will rise up to give you the honor that is due you. That they will set an example to the rest of the World. Indeed they will be "salt and light" to make an impact and influence the communities of the World. In Jesus Name -Amen

Our Prayer for Thailand.



Father we ask of your forgiveness first of all -as Thai Christians we have failed to impact the nation as salt and light. We the church leaders have followed the way of the devil and seek to control and manipulate the congregations. Instead of setting an example through our life and word we have like the Pharisees oppressed our congregations with our religious systems. Like the devil we have divided the people and ruled the people. We have been violent and lawless with our congregations. Instead of feeding them with the pure word of God and giving them the liberty that comes from the true unpolluted word of God, we have poisoned them with corrupted messages, men pleasing messages and instead of feeding them and caring for them we have slaughtered them and fed upon them and fattened ourselves. Please forgive us Oh Lord. We have committed adultery with them and wounded them and destroyed their lives instead of speaking the truth and bringing healing upon them.

Our Father forgive us, Thai Christians who have been selfish instead of being selfless. We have sinned against you and your body. We are so divided Oh Lord and yet very proud that we are doing ok. Please forgive us Oh Lord. We are racialist. Tribes are divided; the rich and poor are divided. We think we are better than the other tribes and we use their bodies to make money for Thailand. We too are part of this evil Lord. Because we have not prayed for the prostitutes, we have not cared for them we have not become a voice for them and we have ignored them. And we did all this because we feared man more then you. Please forgive us Oh Father. Shine your light into our hearts and cause darkness in us to flee. Lord forgive us, instead of worshipping you we have worshipped our pastors and Church leaders. Instead of praying for them and protecting them from the evil one we have idolized them and worshipped them. Instead of correcting them and standing alongside them to restore them when they have sinned, we pretended and we ignored their sin because we feared man more than you Father. Father, we do want to see Thailand to be changed from an idolatrous, immoral, corrupted, lawless, murderous and violent nation to be a HOLY ROYAL PRIESTHOOD. A NATION that WILL DECLARE YOUR PRAISES AND DO YOUR PERFECT WILL and BECOME A BLESSING TO THE NATIONS.

We do want to become more and more like Jesus. To live like Jesus and serve like Jesus. To be a God pleaser then to be a man pleaser. We do want to lay down our lives for Thailand. Help us Oh GOD as we humble ourselves before you. In Jesus Name.

THOSE WHO PREACH


Those who preach

September 14, 2008


VERSE:
   In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach
the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
    -- 1 Corinthians 9:14
   

THOUGHT:
   One of the great tragedies of our modern world is that while
some who preach and teach the gospel are charlatans and cheats, the
vast majority of God's servants work just barely scraping by
financially. Why not find some underpaid and forgotten Kingdom
servant and share a little of the blessings God has given you?

PRAYER:
   Holy Father, I thank you for your servants who share your
message all over the world. Father, I want to especially thank you
for ___ and I ask you that this person will be blessed with good
health, a faithful and loving family, and the proper support to do
your work in a way worthy of your cause. Please use me to bless and
encourage this minister of your grace. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
