Siervos: November 2012

Oct & Nov 2012 Updates

I want to take some time to express my heart of prayer and gratitude to all of you. So please take a moment and read my heart. As the holiday season has arrived, may you be safe and full of His joy reflecting His glory unceasingly. Also to encourage each one of you as we continue to partner to what God has called us as a body. Seek Him with all your heart in how He would have you continue to partner with us and in giving to the LMO. For it is through all of you, what you do and give that makes it possible foe us to do what we do here. May He multiply and abundantly shower you with His blessings. The following is just what I feel and is extracted from Wisdom Hunter’s Devotion ending with our praises and prayer requests:

Thankful Prayers:
“We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers.” 1 Thessalonians 1:2

Prayers of thanksgiving bring a smile to the face of God. He delights in hearing His children express to heaven their gratitude for their sisters and brothers on earth. Jesus expects His followers to not just tolerate one another, but to celebrate each other’s uniqueness. A prayer of thanksgiving for another needy soul grows a heart of love for souls. Consistent prayers of gratitude gets God’s attention and moves His heart to bless, forgive and love.
We all need prayer; prayer for wisdom, prayer for solutions, prayer for healing, prayer for forgiveness, prayer for reconciliation, prayer for salvation, prayer for God’s will, prayer for strength, prayer for faith, prayer for courage, prayer for work and prayer for patience. How grateful we soon become, when we reflect on friends who lift us to the Lord with passionate petitions. We thank God for those precious souls who pray for our soul care.
“We ought always to thank God for you, brothers and sisters, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love all of you have for one another is increasing.” 2 Thessalonians 1:3
Do you thank Christ regularly for those whose faith is on fire? Are you grateful to God for the grace of God that is ever growing in your community of faith? Those who boldly bear a beautiful banner for Jesus need our serious prayer support. The enemy rages against the righteous who are engaged in eternal issues: justice for the poor, education for the ignorant, church planting, job training, discipleship and food for the hungry.
Your grateful prayers to God garner good will for those executing God’s will. Thank Him for their trust that perseveres through persecution. Thank Jesus for those who share Jesus with words and deeds. Thank your heavenly Father for the fathers and mothers who model compassion, love, leadership and the nurturing of their children. Thank Him for single adults who hope in Christ and who serve unselfishly in His name. Gratitude prays!
“I always thank my God as I remember you in my prayers, because I hear about your love for all his holy people and your faith in the Lord Jesus.” Philemon 1:4-5
Prayer: Heavenly Father, thank You for the passionate prayers of Your people.

We need fervent prayer for them and as God softens hearts, to send some faithful believers to witness to them.
