Pray for TWPC-EC: “Not to be ashamed of the gospel of Christ.”

Read and Ponder:

For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.” (Romans 1:16-17 ESV)

Food for Thought:

The gospel of Christ has been preached to us who have come to receive it by faith into our hearts. We, who have been saved through faith by the grace of Christ, ought not to be ashamed of it. We ought to live out the gospel in our daily life so that others may see the wonderful changes wrought by the power of the Holy Spirit of God. The gospel of Christ is the power of God that transforms us. In it, we learn the righteousness of God. We walk by faith and not by sight. Our reliance and trust are in God. When we share our faith cheerfully and boldly with others, we reveal to others that we are not ashamed of the gospel. Our confidence is in God who works powerfully in the hearts of those whom we share with. Our courage is given by God who empowers us to share with others what He graciously has done in our life.

Prayers:

  1. Pray that we will take time to “chew” and “digest” the truths of what these two Bible verses are teaching us.
  2. Pray that we will not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ.
  3. Pray that we will live out the gospel in our lives.
  4. Pray that we will share our faith cheerfully and boldly with others.
  5. Pray that we will leave the outcomes of the sharing of our faith to God.
  6. Pray that we will pray for the salvation of our loved/closed ones regularly.
  7. Pray that we will involve ourselves in any outreach efforts open and available to us.
