LOVING GOD – LOVING ONE ANOTHER
"Let us remember that God
loves us, and He can do the exceeding abundant in our lives to cleanse us, touch
us, and transform us by His grace". - Ready For Revival
April 16 – Monday As we enter into 40 days of community and fellowship, ask God to search your
heart, according to Psalm 139:23 and 24. Also pray that your love for God and
others will deepen and grow. Ask the Lord to create a hunger in your heart to
reach out to others.
April 17 – Tuesday Pray that every member in the body of Christ will discover their place in
God’s program for the coming days and come into a proper relationship with
others, first within our congregation, and then beyond. Pray the words of
Matthew 5:23 and 24, that you might offer your gift to God with a pure heart.
April 18 - Wednesday Thank God for His love for us. Pray that we will be filled with the Holy Spirit,
that we will overflow with love for our Lord, and daily surrender our lives to
Him. Ask God to lead you to someone, as commanded in 1 Peter 1:22, to whom you
can show Christ’s love either by words or by lending a helping hand in their
need.
April 19 – Thursday Pray that we, the Body of Christ, will function together in love and unity,
according to Paul’s admonition in Philippians 2:1,2: “If you have any
encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if
any fellowship with the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my
joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and
purpose.”
April 20 – Friday Pray that as individuals we will work faithfully in God’s gifting and calling to
encourage and in love to build up one another. By this will all men know that
you are my disciples, if you love one another [John 13:35].
April 21- Saturday
Pray that as we give ourselves fully to the Lord and unite in a common purpose,
we will grow in unity, in Spirit, in love, peace, purpose and passion, that the
world will see the grace of God in us, and that they will want to know Him too.
Ephesians 4:1-3.
April 22 - Sunday Pray that the love of Christ and our love for Him will lead us to reach out
into the community around our church, our neighbors, and the community where we
live, and that it will extend to our co-workers, classmates, and all with whom
we come in contact. 2 Corinthians 5:14,15.
