20th May (Day 20)
When they heard this, they had no further objections and praised God, saying, “So then, even to Gentiles God has granted repentance that leads to life.” (Acts 11:18)
✝ Pray for church leaders
🔻 Put aside prejudice
“Therefore let us stop passing judgment on one another. Instead, make up your mind not to put any stumbling block or obstacle in the way of a brother or sister.”
O Lord, help leaders to lay down their own thoughts and behavior mode, not easily judge and criticize other people.
🔻Submit to God’s will
“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”
May the Lord give leaders a humble heart and teachable spirit, fully submit to the leading of the Holy Spirit. May God deliver leaders from all temptations and lead them not into the evil one.
🔻 Accept One Another
“Accept one another, then, just as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.” When leaders are willing to put aside prejudice, submit to God’s will, appreciate and accept one another, thus becoming one family in the love of the Lord.
🔻 Equip believers
May God give leaders the father’s heart to equip the people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. Cell leaders are willing to equip cell members to do greater things than yourself!
✝ Pray for salvation for all nations
Thank God for giving grace to us as gentiles! May the gospel reach everywhere on earth, and let all nations repent and turn to God, worshipping and praising the Lord! Amen!
