Pray for our church, TWPC-EC: “To serve and not to be served”

Read and Ponder:

And Jesus called them to Him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, and whoever would be first among you must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” (Mark 10:42-45 ESV).

Food for Thought:

Jesus sets a wonderful example for us to serve and to give. He came not to be served but to serve and to give. Do you have the same mindset as Jesus? What is your motivation to serve and to give? The love of Christ is our motivation to serve and to give. We serve because He (Jesus) first served us. We love because He first loved us (1 John 4:19 ESV). We serve because of Christ’s love for us and our love for Him. Christ Jesus gave his life as a ransom for many. This demonstrates His great and sacrificial love for us. Let us serve rather than seek to be served. Let us give of our time and talents to others.

Prayers:

1. Pray that we will seize the opportunity to serve.
2. Pray that we will learn from Christ Jesus how to serve.
3. Pray that we will encourage one another to serve.
4. Pray that we will encourage one another to serve in at least one area of ministry in church.
