40 Days of Prayer - Day 38
Day 38: Raise the Temperature
PRAY
Pray that God would show you areas in your faith that you have grown lukewarm. Ask God to help you and your church to be on fire for Him!
Read Revelation 3:14-22
“So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I am going to vomit you out of My mouth.
As a result of a bad meal, a curvy road, or a contagious virus, you feel sick at your stomach. Feeling nauseated is uncomfortable. Jesus challenged the Laodicean church on several points. The church's condition left Him nauseated. Jesus is not pleased with a lukewarm church. What led the Laodicean church to be lukewarm? God’s people thought they were self-sufficient. Jesus wasn’t really needed on a day-to-day basis. In fact, He was standing outside of the church, knocking on the door, and hoping to be invited back in.
Generally not in words, but at least in actions, many churches rely on their structures, staff, and strategies rather than on Christ Jesus. The church’s Redeemer is left standing outside the fellowship, desiring to be welcomed back in. There’s hope for a lukewarm church. Jesus gives His people an opportunity to repent and change directions.
Is the church you serve dependent on the presence and power of Jesus Christ? What about you? Are you lukewarm? What changes do you need to make in order to be on fire for God?
