Walk your walk to bring more to Christ | 3650 Minutes of Prayer

This is Day Thirty-Eight of 3650 Minutes of Prayer. Today, we focus on the call to "walk your walk," modeled after the church of the Thessalonians. This was a young, mostly Gentile congregation birthed in a strategic, bustling hub of trade and pagan cults. Despite intense persecution and the sudden departure of their leaders, they stood firm. Like them, we live in a pluralistic, pressuring environment, yet we are called to be a model community whose faith, love, and hope spread throughout the whole region.We encourage one another with the truth of 1 Thessalonians 4:13–14. We do not sorrow as those who have no hope; for we know that those who sleep in Christ will be raised. This hope fuels our mission to bring more people to Y'shua. We learn from the persistence of Moses, who went back to Pharaoh time and again despite a hardened heart, and from the servant of Elijah, whose faith allowed him to go seven times until he saw the cloud the size of a man’s hand. We do not pray as a "backup" or a last resort; we pray as people seated at the right hand of God, more than conquerors, using intercession to move things in the spirit and the physical realm.We now yield to the Spirit of God. We ask for the persistence of the servant and the boldness of the Thessalonians. May our walk be so distinct that it draws others to the light of Christ, and may we never grow weary in sharing the Word, for the greatest gift is seeing the lost come home.Prayer & Revelation Scriptures1 Thessalonians 4:13–14 (NKJV)"But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus."Romans 8:37 (AMP)"Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors and gain an overwhelming victory through Him who loved us [so much that He died for us]."Exodus 7:1–3 (NKJV)"So the Lord said to Moses: 'See, I have made you as God to Pharaoh... and I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and multiply My signs and My wonders in the land of Egypt.'"1 Kings 18:43–44 (NKJV)"And he said to his servant, 'Go up now, look toward the sea.' So he went up and looked, and said, 'There is nothing.' And seven times he said, 'Go again.' Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, 'There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!'"Mark 12:31 (NKJV)"And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these."Ephesians 2:6 (NKJV)"And raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus."There is One true God, the Creator of all things, revealed in three persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. There is One God and One Spirit Who has redeemed us all. I am Mathew Sekanjako, a believer in Christ Jesus (Y’shua HaMashiach), the one Son of God. I serve and confess God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. This intercession is offered in faith, in obedience, and in love, for all who will listen.
