Ministry

Dependent on prayer – EM Bounds

Dependent on prayer – EM Bounds

“Brethren, pray for us” (1 Thessalonians 5:25).

If Paul was so dependent on the prayers of God’s saints to give his ministry success, how much more important is it that the prayers of God’s saints be centered on the ministry of today!

I give up all my own plans and purposes – Betty Scott Stam

I give up all my own plans and purposes – Betty Scott Stam

Lord, I give up all my own plans and purposes. All my own desires and hopes and accept Your will for my life. I give myself, my life, my all, utterly to You to be Yours forever. Fill me and seal me with Your Holy Spirit. Use me as You will, send me where you will, work out Your whole will in my life at any cost, now and forever. To me to live is Christ. Amen.

Preserving fruit of my labor – George Whitefield

Preserving fruit of my labor – George Whitefield

“My brother Wesley acted wisely,” Whitefield said. “The souls that were awakened under his ministry he joined in societies, and  thus preserved the fruit of his labor. This I neglected, and my people are a rope of sand.”

We don’t have to do exceptional things – Oswald Chambers

We don’t have to do exceptional things – Oswald Chambers

The “show business,” which is so incorporated into our view of Christian work today, has caused us to drift far from our Lord’s conception of discipleship. It is instilled in us to think that we have to do exceptional things for God; we have not. We have to be exceptional in ordinary things, to be holy in mean streets, among mean people, surrounded by sordid sinners. That is not learned in five minutes.
