Heavenly Father, thank You for Your word. Help me to learn all the lessons that I can, from the corrective instructions, that Paul gave to the various churches. Keep me from developing a ‘holier-than-thou’ attitude and help me to recognise my faults.. and take steps to correct my actions and attitudes, when I am straying away from Your instruction. Keep me low at the cross and broken before You, and use me to help my brothers and sisters, if they should go astray – and use them to correct my faults, should I stray from the path of righteousness – this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN.
Heavenly Father, thank You for the wisdom, grace and sensitivity that Paul demonstrated in his corrective ministry to the Corinthian believers. Help me to be willing to address any issue that is causing a brother in Christ to stray from the path of righteousness, but keep my heart sensitive and soft, so that I may speak the truth in love. Help me also to be willing to receive, and act on a word of correction, from a fellow brother or sister in Christ, without automatically misunderstanding their motive – this I ask in Jesus name, AMEN
Heavenly Father, thank You that no matter what we may have to face in life..that in Christ we are always lead to victory. I pray that as we rest in Him, by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving.. that we may always be lead in triumph to Your praise and glory. May my life be a living sacrifice - a burnt offering that becomes as sweet-smelling perfume - of the knowledge of Him, in every place You may choose to send me - I pray this in Jesus name and for His glory, AMEN
Heavenly Father, thank You that by faith we have become a fragrance of Jesus to our brothers and sisters in Christ. And Lord, for those that find us to be the stench of death in their nostrils, I pray that You would use us to witness to the truth of the glorious gospel of grace - so that together we may worship at Your feet - to the praise of Jesus Christ in Whose name we pray, AMEN
Heavenly Father, thank You that I am Your child, and that I am being changed from glory to glory by the power of the Spirit. I pray that You would use me to witness of Your goodness and grace, to both the saved and to those that are lost. Shine the light of the glorious gospel into the hearts of those that are dead in their sins - so that they may come to a saving faith in Jesus Christ my Lord, in Whose name I pray, AMEN.
