Mar.04.03: Lftd - "Praying For Christian Workers" -- Mark 16:15 (NKJV) And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." ----------------------------------- If Christians prayed as Christians ought, with strong commanding faith, with earnestness and sincerity; men, God-called men, God-empowered men everywhere, would be all burning to go and spread the gospel worldwide. The Word of the Lord would be glorified as never known heretofore. The God-influenced men, the God-inspired men, the God-commissioned men, would go and kindle the flame of sacred fire for Christ, salvation, and heaven, everywhere in all nations, and soon all men would hear the glad tidings of salvation and have an opportunity to receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior. -- E.M.Bounds ---------- In truth, there is a shortage of Christian workers in a day when the fields are white to harvest. Let's pray with commanding faith for God-called men and women to say yes when God calls. May their hearts burn with a passion for the gospel. Today, send someone to the mission field by praying it so. -- N. Harrison ------------- The neglect of prayer is the great reason the Church has not greater power over the masses in Christian and in heathen countries. -- Andrew Murray ---------------- -- Luke 10:2 (NIVUS) He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field." -- Matthew 28:18-20 (NIVUS) 18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
