“How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?” Romans 10:14
Read Luke 5:10 and Romans 10:14
Lord, we know that you want people to hear your word and that you call us to proclaim it. As Christians, you have called us to be fishers of men. We pray that you will use every member of Mars Hill Church to make three disciples in 2014. Bring people into my life you want me to disciple and mentor. Strengthen my relationship with you and give me the boldness and confidence to speak into their lives.
Jesus, you no longer call us servants, you call us friends. This is incredible! And not only are we your friends, we are also your sons and daughters, indwelled by the Holy Spirit. As your children, we get to know and participate with you in what you’re doing in the world. Just like children love going along on errands with their parents, not to serve but to simply enjoy being with them. Create the same desire in me, Lord, to love just being with you as you complete your mission saving, loving, and redeeming people.
Heavenly Father, you are already at work saving people. Can I be a part of that? You are already putting lives and marriages and families back together. Can I be a part of that?
Out of your amazing grace and great love with which you love us, you are on a rescue mission to reconcile the world to yourself through Christ. We thank you that we get to be a part of this ministry of reconciliation, both through declaring the gospel of Jesus Christ and through prayer.
Help me to believe you can and will use me as an instrument of reconciliation. When I see you at work, remind me to simply ask you, “Can I come?”
Amen.
We are doing a church-wide, five-day fast that began at sundown on January 5th and will end on January 10th when we gather at our local churches to break our fasts together. For more information about fasting, check out marshill.com/fasting.
