Christ’s Word to be Believed
Preaching, healing and disciplining
that summarises the daily activities
of the Son of Man. Luke records
the healings with careful attention.
And those documented miracles
become proof of Jesus’ claim to
a faithless & perverse generation.
As he preaches and heals, Jesus
patiently prepares His disciples
to carry on in His absence. The
cost is steep, but the goal of saving
lives eternally makes it worthwhile.
Lord, we Believe Your Word:
The twelve came to him and said:
Send the crowds away to nearby
villages so they can find food and
lodging for the night. There is
nothing to eat here in this deserted
place. But Jesus said: You feed
them. Impossible! They protested.
We have only five loaves of bread
and two fish. Or are U expecting
us to go and buy enough food
for this whole crowd (Lk 9:12-13).
Then Jesus said to them: If anyone
desires to come after me, let him
deny himself, and take up his
cross daily and follow me (v23).
As He prayed, the appearance of
His face was altered and his robe
became white and glistening…
And a voice came out of the
cloud saying: This is My beloved
Son. Hear Him (v29-35). Amen.
Lord, this task looks impossible.
Yet you said that with U nothing
is impossible if we believe.
Strengthen my trust in your
ability and your resources.
I want to be your vessel and
to be used by you. I give you
myself, my heart, by time and
my gifts and ask you to multiply
them for your purposes. May
You be glorified in my life. Amen.
Lord, we realise to follow You,
we must submit our wants and
desires to Yours. We must stop
serving ourselves & start serving U.
Lord, the call to total commitment
and priority may be challenging;
but we also know that You will
accompany the call with Your
divine confirmation so that we’ll
have the necessary faith to act
upon it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Lord, we will join You in ministry
to further the kingdom of God.
Help us to befriend sinners and
give us heart of compassion
for those hurting and in need.
Help us readily receive yr Word,
apply it and be obedient to you.
Strengthen our trust in You for
everything is possible if we believe.
We offer our vessel to be used
by You. Multiply the resources
for Your purposes so that You
be glorified. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
