Galatians 2:20 (KJV) - “I am crucified with Christ:
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I
now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and
gave himself for me.”
1 Timothy 4:11-13(KJV)
- “These
things command and teach. Let
no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in
conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to
reading, to exhortation, to doctrine.”
Matthew 28:18-20 (NKJV) - “Then Jesus came and spoke to
them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go
therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of
the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always,
even to the end of the age. Amen.”
Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour, but He is also our
pattern. The Bible teaches that we are to imitate Him –
Prayer
· Everything
that they have built that is not according to the pattern of Christ, let it be
pulled down.
·
Father,
we thank You for sending Jesus as our perfect example to follow.
· May
the eye of the men of courage be open to see and observe all You have commanded
them.
Think as He Thought
Philippians
2:1-7 (NLV) – “Are you strong because you belong
to Christ? Does His love comfort you? Do you have joy by being as one in
sharing the Holy Spirit? Do you have loving-kindness and pity for each
other? Then give me true joy by thinking the same thoughts. Keep having
the same love. Be as one in thoughts and actions. Nothing
should be done because of pride or thinking about yourself. Think of other
people as more important than yourself. Do not always be thinking about
your own plans only. Be happy to know what other people are doing. Think
as Christ Jesus thought. Jesus has always been
as God is. But He did not hold to His rights as God. He put aside everything
that belonged to Him and made Himself the same as a servant who is owned by
someone. He became human by being born as a man.”
·
Christ was not proud.
·
Jesus was humble, meek and gentle.
·
He was submissive.
·
He was obedient to God’s will.
Prayer
· Father, let the men of courage have the mind of
Christ and think as Jesus thought - humble, meek and gentle, totally submissive
and obedient to Your will always.
· Father, may they never hold on to their rights but
put it aside and wear the cloak of servants.
Love As Jesus Loved
John 13:34 (NKJ) - "A new commandment I give to
you, that you love one another; as
I have loved you, that you also love one another.”
John 15:12 (NKJ) - "This is My commandment,
that you love one another as I
have loved you.”
Ephesians 5:2 (NKJ) – “And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and
given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling
aroma.”
Prayer
· Lord,
we pray that they will love You with all their heart and You will be their
first love.
· Father,
we pray that the men of courage will walk and continue in the love of Christ.
