5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
- Form us and impart the spirit of humility in all of us
- Though our own flesh seeks to be affirmed,seeks pride,seeks to be recognized,are ambitious
- Make us like you in this way
- Clothe us with meekness and lowliness we pray
- Meekness is power in control;as Jesus new who He was in God,yet did not choose to exalt Himself
- You are after a humble bride
- Blessed are the poor in spirit;knowing they can do nothing by themselves
- But that when connected to the Almighty God we can do all things
Colossians 3:12-16
12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
- That they will forgive one another just as the Lord forgives them
- That the church will be clothed in compassion,kindness,humility,gentleness,patience
- That the church will be clothed in love;the love of Jesus Christ
101 I have kept my feet from every evil path so that I might obey your word. 102 I have not departed from your laws, for you yourself have taught me. 103 How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
- That you will be their teacher in the secret place
- That they will set their hearts,create time to be alone with Jesus in the place of prayer
- We pray for revival throughout South Africa that you will be glorified
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
- That the believers will have life and have it to the full in the name of Jesus
8 What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. 10 I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,
- That the church will come back to their purposes which is to know you and the power of your resurrection
- That they will be a people who are seeks and loves you with all their mind,soul,mind and strength
- That you will work in their hearts;that you pour out your compassion in their hearts
21 Jesus answered, "If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." 22 When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth. 23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, "I tell you the truth, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." 25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, "Who then can be saved?" 26 Jesus looked at them and said, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." 27 Peter answered him, "We have left everything to follow you! What then will there be for us?"
- That they will be willing to use their wealth,skills for your kingdom purposes we pray
- That they will be willing to have their treasure in heaven by giving large percentages towards the great commission projects we pray
17 The Spirit and the bride say, "Come!" And let him who hears say, "Come!" Whoever is thirsty, let him come; and whoever wishes, let him take the free gift of the water of life.
- The church will arise and be willing to take the message of the cross and calling people to come
- Calling them to come and have a free gift of the water of life
7 "To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. 8 I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name.
- South Africa has been given an open door of the gospel to take the gospel North
- That is to take your word to the North Africa and the Arab Nations-Egypt,Somalia,Djibouti,Mali
- Raise thousands and thousands of message bearers in this emerging generation we pray in Jesus name
