40 Day Prayer Devotional

Day 34 - May 26

Dependence on Christ

Scripture: "I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing”. John 15:4-5

Thought: The key to all valid activity is not its effect but its source. If it derives from what we do for Jesus, rather than from what He does through us, it will come to nothing. This is the only way we ‘bear fruit’, whether “the fruit of the spirit” (Gal 5:22), i.e. character, or the fruit of His life being reproduced in others, i.e. evangelism.

Prayer Point:
• Pray that we will live in such dependence upon the indwelling presence of Jesus Christ that His life in us will bear inevitable fruit in drawing others to Himself.

Day 35 - May 27

Sharing the Gospel Even When It Hurts

Scripture:
Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Prayer Points:
• Pray that true believers will not shrink back from sharing the gospel even though talking about sin causes offence.
• Pray the church will take up its call to show our love for Christ in a way that would cause others to be jealous of what we have in Christ
• Pray that the church will be established by the preaching of God’s word with power love and full conviction.
