"But godliness with contentment is great fain. For we brought nothing into the world and we can take nothing out of it. But if we have food and clothing we will be content with that...Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, endurance and gentleness. Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession..."
1 Timothy 6:6-8, 11-12
Today let us put our eyes upon Jesus that He would help us to focus upon Him, seek Him first and allow Him to give us all that we need. When we seek and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith , love, endurance and gentleness we are seeking God's character. When we have God's character we do not have to respond to our struggles and difficulties the way the world does and when we respond according to God's wisdom we shine the light of Jesus out of our very beings.
Therefore, every day "seek the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding" (Prov. 3:5) that you would be a beacon of light to those around you. Changing the world with every move you make. You never know who your words and actions will touch or how Jesus will use them. Let everything you do be done for Him who gives eternal life and loves you beyond all comprehension.
Ladies-
As we begin our fast together, let us pray for spiritual breakthroughs for the men of our region. If you are reading this from an area other than WNY, please join in praying for your region also. God is so good and faithful.
I am sharing a loose guide to help us focus our fasting and prayer. Please pray as God leads you individually.
Week 1-
Spiritual breakthroughs touching the men in all walks of life. A renewed, refreshed, or new desire to seek the Lord. Pray also for forgiveness in all areas, between all necessary parties, and an ability to forgive themselves for any outstanding issues that would hold them back.
Week 2-
Restoration for families all over our region. Husbands turning to wives, wives turning to husbands, fathers to children and children to fathers. That the family unit would be restored.
Week 3-
Godly leadership. That men in leadership from the top down and the bottom up would begin with wisdom from on high and make decisions that would honor God and move the population in the right directions. Let this include politicians, pastors, teachers, fathers, sons, brothers, and individuals who believe that their works do not impact anyone.
Week 4-
That God would continue His work in this season, and that Satan would not steal that which God has planted and begun. That God would be our rear guard as we move into the next thing that He has for us and that we, as the women He has used would be able to continue touching those he puts in our paths.
This is simply a rough guide to help us as we move forward in that which God is asking us to do. Thank you for your commitment to the Lord. I feel a great excitement as we begin and I cannot wait to see what God is going to do as we walk down this journey.
Praise be to God, our Holy King
