Prayer Email archive: (08/21/2000) principle of working |
Hello prayer warriors,
1. Prayer note: principle of working [2 Thessalonians 3:10] For even when we were with you, this we commanded you, that if any would not work, neither should he eat. Sometimes we may grow weary of working but the bible is very clear on this. If we do not work, we do not eat. [Deuteronomy 28:8] The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. Sometimes, we wish that a wealthy inheritance will just drop into our laps but many times this is not so. God will command His blessings and bless us through the work of our hands. One of the keys to enduring prosperity is realising this principle and work not unto men, but unto the Lord. [Ephesians 6:5] Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ; Remember the parable of the talents. God has given us ability and skill to work and we are to use this ability to produce fruit. [Matthew 25:20-21] 20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more. 21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. Let us not be like the slothful servant who gave up and buried that one talent into the ground [Matthew 25:24-28]. 2. New prayer requests: i. Healing -- acts1 Please pray for Beverly, a friend in Chicago, who has developed cancer of the throat & lungs. Pray for her salvation as well as I am not sure that she is a believer. I believe God can use her healing to draw her to Him. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=316&table=prayer ii. lonely -- laura22 I have never been in love, I think I might have found a possibility with a new man I met. Please pray that we will be together. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=317&table=prayer iii. pray like never before 'cause I need it -- guest Pray for my friend C. She just learned that she has bone cancer. I am really apprehensive about everything & I just found out that my job will release me to spend 5 days with her. I am so anxious about all of this because I just lost my own parents over 6 years ago within 3 days of each other. I do not feel like my friend will pass away.. I feel that God can do anything. But it is bringing up all of my grief from my parents. I am not sure whether to go see her or not. I just can't handle any of this right now. I am still processing everything that she told me. Please pray for me because I want to do what is right -but I do not want to be in grief and depression. This is hard for me because she herself is like a mother to me. I feel so unsure right now. I want God to lead me in what to do. I also want to spend quality time with her. When my mother passed away -God prompted me to go home & I didn't because I did not know she was ill. But I feel like I cannot do what I did not do -please pray for my peace in the situation. My mentor died 5 years ago & my best friend at my church committed suicide 5 years ago. My boyfriend from high school killed himself 12 years ago. I just cannot handle losing anyone else. Just typing this has made me realize -I will have to love from afar. I love this person -but I am in no shape to give any strength in the area of death. I only want life for all. http://mydevotion.com/logos/asp/viewpyrrep.asp?forumid=5&forumtype=2&topicid=318&table=prayer 3.
