A Note from our Associational

Missionary

What Work Has the Lord Given You Today?

Paul in the book of 1 Corinthians rebukes the church for its divisions

and its boasting about following a particular human leader. In

chapter 3 verse 5 Paul shares: Who is Apollos? Who is Paul? We are

God’s servants through whom you believed the Good News. EACH

OF US DID THE WORK THE LORD GAVE US.

What work has the Lord given you today, this week, this year. As the

Lord’s servants obey Him and do the work He has given you. Keep

your eyes on Him not on comparisons to other’s pastors or leaders.

The comparing competing game always leads to discontentment

and discouragement.

Praying for the Lost

When praying for the lost; friends, relatives, neighbors, and co-

workers you may find it helpful to use the acronym H-E-A-R-T.

H – Heart. Pray for receptive hearts. Pray God will soften their

hearts. Love them. Act kindly toward them.

E– Eyes & Ears. Pray God will open their spiritual eyes & ears.

(2 Corinthians 4:3-4, 1 Corinthians 2:14, Matthew13:15)

A– Attitude. Pray their attitude toward sin would change. Pray for

the Holy Spirit to convict them of sin. (John 1:8)

R– Release. Pray they will be released to believe. (2 Timothy 2:25-

26). Note: For long-term issues it takes intense prayer and

counseling. This is spiritual warfare at its highest level.

T– Transformation. Pray their lives will be transformed. Pray they

commit to be a living sacrifice. It takes a deep and inward spiritual

change. (Romans 12:1-2).

Pray they will understand God’s Grace & Mercy. Pray they will repent

and understand the gospel. Pray God will grant them the grace of His

healing and a deep and true repentance. Pray they will be transformed

by the renewing of their minds.

(Message by Ron Taylor, Hickory Road Baptist Church)
