Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would realize that the seed of Christ is sown through the gospel into human hearts and would pray for people’s hearts to become the good earth to receive the gospel seed (Matt. 13:18-23; 5:3, 8; John 4:36-37). [Matthew 13:8] says, “And others fell on the good earth […]

Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would see the need for both the fishing ministry and the mending ministry—first the fishing ministry to bring people in, and then the mending ministry to keep them from falling out (Matt. 4:18-22; 16:19a; Rev. 21:2). Then after Peter brings people in, John follows with the mending […]

Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would see that their proclaiming of the gospel of God is their sowing of the seed of Christ into people to bring in the kingdom of God (Mark 1:14-15; 4:3 and notes 3-1, 3-2; 4:26 and note 26-3). The seed of the divine life (1 John 3:9; […]

Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would eagerly learn the principles needed to bring people to the Lord and would practice these principles in order to learn the proper time and the proper way to reach people—to “catch the fish” (Acts 2:41; 4:4). The most important thing for a salesman is to create […]
Let us pray for the saints to see that their visiting people is their cooperation with the sanctifying Spirit to gain people

Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would see that their visiting people is a preparation for the Holy Spirit to sanctify them and that they would contact people to afford the seeking Spirit a “line” to “hook” the lost sinners (1 Pet. 1:2 and note 2 – 5; 2 Thes. 2:13; Luke 15:8-10 […]
Let us pray for the saints to be vitalized personally and with companions so that they might “go fishing”
June 17, 2021 by Leave a Comment
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would get vitalized personally and with a few co-laboring companions to the extent that they would “go fishing” to get some “new fish” (Dan. 1:6; 2 Tim. 2:22). The elders should not try to form the groups in an organizational way. That does not work. They must […]
Let us pray for the saints to “go fishing” to contact people consistently until they gain someone
June 16, 2021 by Leave a Comment
Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would realize that there are many sinners, many “fish” around them in the place where they live, and would “go fishing” — go contact them consistently week after week until they eventually gain someone (Matt. 4:19; Luke 5:10b). The Bible uses the illustration of fishing. To get […]
