2 Corinthians 3: 7 - 17
But if the ministry of death, written and engraved on stones, was
glorious, so that the children of Israel could not look steadily at the face of
Moses because of the glory of his countenance, which glory was passing away, 8
how will the ministry of the Spirit not be more glorious? 9 For if the ministry
of condemnation had glory, the ministry of righteousness exceeds much more in
glory. 10 For even what was made glorious had no glory in this respect, because
of the glory that excels. 11 For if what is passing away was glorious, what
remains is much more glorious. 12 Therefore, since we have such hope, we use
great boldness of speech—13 unlike Moses, who put a veil over his face so that
the children of Israel could not look steadily at the end of what was passing
away. 14 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains
unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in
Christ. 15 But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their
heart. 16 Nevertheless when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17
Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is
liberty.
Prayers:
Lord, our youths, singles and members
of our home have been deceived with a fading glory. They are now consumed with
the love for the world and sophisticated gadgets, fashion, money etc. They
labour day and night just to possess that which will be destroyed in the end.
Some who are in the fold (Members of
the Body of Christ) are being fed with junk. Inspirational messages, enticing
words and wisdom of men have become their gospel, feeding their heads and not
their souls. For others, their faith has become a religion of enmity. Those who
are truly hungry are fed with Your Word in the absence of Your Spirit and it
does not give them life. And Lord, without Your Spirit, there is no GLORY.
Lord, these ones, because they lack
the truth, have offered themselves as instruments of unrighteousness; workers
of iniquity. But Lord, your mercy has found us out, picked us and recruited us.
So Lord, we come in love, to intercede for them and also for ourselves in
thanksgiving, that you may reveal to us Your GLORY.
1 Timothy 2:19
Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth
sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone
that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.
Our foundation must be JESUS CHRIST.
Our source of inspiration must be the
Holy Spirit .
Our message must be centred on the
complete Gospel, the message of the cross.
Pray that the Lord will visit our youths and singles and open their
heart to the truth.
1 Timothy 2:20
Now in a large house, there are not only gold
and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and earthenware, and some to
honour and some to dishonour. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these
things, he will be a vessel for honour, sanctified, useful to the Master,
prepared for every good work.
Pray that as the Lord visit His Church in the coming revival, our
youths, singles and members of our homes will be purged, cleansed and
sanctified, set free from every trace of sin, self and the old Adamic nature.
Lord, let them be willing in the day of Your power.
Psalm 110:3
Your people
will offer themselves willingly in the day of Your power, in the beauty of
holiness and in holy
array out of the womb of the morning; to You [will spring forth] Your young
men, who are as the dew.
Prayers:
Lord, let Your zeal consume our
youths, singles and members of our home as it consumed Christ when he lived
amongst men. John 2: 17.
The glory of the youth is their
strength. Lord, please encounter our youths, singles and members of our home. Create
a deepened hunger and unquenchable thirst in them for the truth of the complete
Gospel. Let them not awake in their night season while the day is fast rolling
away.
For those who are already in the
fold, Lord, please deepen our conviction daily so that they do not continue in sluggishness
but be bold in their faith and swift in their obedience.
Make us specimen of true holiness,
purity and light - a spirit-filled life.
Grant us courage and boldness to
stand for truth and righteousness.
Though the youth shall utterly fall,
but they that put their trust in You shall renew their strength. Father,
may we put our trust and confidence in You alone.
Let Our Youth and Singles Arise, LORD!
