Walk Worthy of our Calling (May 30)
Backgrounder: Walk Worthy of
your calling..You are rich in Christ,
so live that way! But it takes
a lifetime to live out the reality.
The Christian’s conduct should
be consistent with his calling.
He is indescribably rich in Christ,
endowed with spiritual blessings.
But he must learn to walk in the
light of that wealth. A spiritual
war rages, and only those who
learn to appropriate and use the
full armour of God will be able to
stand against Satan’s wily attacks.
Gracious Lord, Thank You for giving
to us every spiritual blessings.
Grant us grace to walk in light of that
wealth and be worthy of our calling.
As part of Christ’s body, help
us live in vital union with Him;
so that our conduct be consistent
with this living relationship and
fulfill our role in the living church.
Help us Speak Words of Grace;
help us Live Wisely on earth and
help us Put On Your Armour. Amen.
Lord, we’ll Speak Words of Grace:
Let no corrupt word proceed out
of your mouth, but what is good
for necessary edification, that
it may Impart Grace to the hearers..
Let all bitterness, wrath, anger,
clamour and evil speaking be
put away from you, with all malice.
And be kind to one another,
tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, even as God in Christ
forgave you (Eph 4:29-32).
Lord, may my heart and words
be full of encouragement and
may they Give Grace to others.
Work Your gentleness & patience
in me so that I won’t be so quick
to respond in ways that don’t
honour You. May the words of
my mouth and the thoughts of
my heart be pleasing to You,
O Lord, my rock & redeemer. Amen
Lord, we purpose to Live Wisely:
Be careful how you live. Don’t
live like fools, but like those who
are Wise, redeeming the time,
because the days are evil.
Therefore do not be unwise,
but understand what the will
of God is (Eph 5:15-17). Amen.
Lord, we purpose to Live Wisely
and make good use of our time.
Help us to sense Your presence
& purpose in every circumstance.
Help us see what You are doing
and what You want to do thro us.
Help us reflect each day to sense
what You are doing in our life and
where You are leading us. Amen.
Lord, we will Put On Your Armour:
Put On the full Armour of God
so that you can take your stand
against the devil’s schemes…
Pray in the Spirit on all occasions
with all kinds of prayers & requests
With this in mind, be alert and
always keep on praying for
all the saints (Eph 6:11, 18).
Lord, I recognise because I have
aligned myself with You, the
enemy will wage war against me.
Help me Put On the full spiritual
Armour that You have provided.
Help me Lord to fully understand
the depth of truth, righteousness,
faith, a solid walk with Christ,
salvation, powerful prayer & the
sword of the Spirit Your Word.
Teach me how to use the armour
& perseverance practising it. Amen
