40 Days of Prayer - Day 40
Day 40 What Does Jesus Think?
PRAY
Consider praying today that God will help your congregation understand how He views it and what He wishes to see happen for your church to move into a season of new life and ministry and be an influence for Christ in your community. Pray that God would help you to let go of your ideas and opinions of what needs to happen in your church and seek what Jesus wants.
Read Revelation 3:1-6
“To the angel of the church in Sardis write: ‘The One who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars says: I know your works; you have a reputation for being alive, but you are dead.’”
Your church is evaluated every week. The first time guests who visit have an opinion about your church. The senior adults who attend have convictions about the life and ministry of your congregation. The young families have some thoughts as well. The community in which your church is located also has something that comes to mind when they think of your church.
These opinions are varied and may have some merit. The opinion, or rather judgment, that matters most is the one offered by Jesus, the Head of the church. Jesus has some thoughts concerning your congregation, and the road to revival begins with seeking Jesus’ view of your church.
Are you more concerned with your view or opinion of your church or the view that Jesus has of your church? How does your congregation’s perception of your church’s effectiveness differ from the perspective of Jesus?
