Encouragement and Prayer: Tested Work! (8/23/23)

~

This is the audio from the August 23, 2023 live social media broadcast of encouragement and prayer by Impact Prayer Ministry’s director, Tom Lemler.

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.”
Colossians 3:23-24 (NIV)

This week we will pray about the new job we have as Christians and what God wants our work to look like.  The good news of Jesus says there is a job for each of us to do and our job is one that not only benefits us, but it is designed to benefit the body of Christ.  We learn to work for the Lord when we carry a new journey, observation, and belief into our work.

“His work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each man’s work.”
1 Corinthians 3:13 (NIV)

As you pray this week, consider the work you do, as well as the ability that God gives you to do that work.  Pray that you would pay close attention to what your life’s work is being built with.  Pray that your diligent work for the kingdom would stand up to the testing by God.  Pray that the people around you would come to know work that stands up to the testing of God.

You can find the live video feeds of these encouragement and prayer times on Impact Prayer Ministry’s Facebook page.

In prayer,
Tom
