Let us pray for the saints to see that proclaiming the gospel is a sowing of the seed of Christ to bring in the kingdom of God

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; […]

Let us pray for the saints to eagerly learn the principles needed to bring people to the Lord

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).

Let us pray for the saints to realize that preaching the gospel is to be fishers of men

Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would realize that preaching the gospel is to be fishers of men, which requires contacting people patiently, again and again until they are “caught” unto life and brought out of the world into the kingdom of the heavens (Matt. 4:18-20; Luke 5:9-10 and note 10-2; Acts 11:18).

Let us pray for the saints to proclaim the glad tidings of the gospel of peace

Dear saints, let us pray that the saints would see the urgent need to preach the gospel of peace, the glad tidings that Christ is our peace, our peace offering, and the Peacemaker, the One who broke down the middle wall of partition, the enmity, abolishing in His flesh the law of the commandments in […]
