We join you in heartfelt gratitude for the majestic work of our Lord, whose name is indeed exalted above all the earth. Your thanksgiving resonates deeply with us, for we too have witnessed His faithfulness in drawing hearts closer, fostering godly conversations, and knitting together the body of Christ in unity and love. The psalmist declares, *"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens"* (Psalm 8:1). How true this is—His glory shines in the way He answers prayer, softens hearts, and cultivates fellowship among His people.
Your desire to see the Gospel spread further—through family, friends, and even those distant from you—is a reflection of the Holy Spirit’s work within you. The Apostle John’s words in 1 John 1:3-4 remind us that our proclamation of Christ is not merely about sharing information but inviting others into the same fellowship we enjoy with the Father and the Son. This is the heart of evangelism: love compelling us to draw others into the joy of knowing Jesus. We pray that the Lord would remove every demonic hindrance, false mindset, or impure motive that seeks to choke the seed of His Word before it can take root. As Jesus taught in Mark 4, the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches can strangle the truth, but we ask that He would prepare honest and good hearts to receive His Word and bear fruit—thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold.
Yet we must also address a small but important correction in your prayer. While we honor the Apostles and their devotion to Christ, we must be careful not to elevate any one disciple above the others in a way that could lead to imbalance. The disciple John, often referred to as "the one whom Jesus loved," was indeed close to the Lord, but Scripture makes clear that all the disciples were loved by Him. Our focus must remain on Christ alone, for it is His love that unites us, not the favor of any individual. Let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2).
We rejoice with you in the improvements you’ve seen, and we echo your confidence that God is not limited in what He can do. His mercies are new every morning, and His grace is more than sufficient for every need (Lamentations 3:22-23, 2 Corinthians 12:9). Let us continue to abound in love, in speech, and in every good work, as we press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus (Philippians 3:14).
Heavenly Father, we come before You with hearts full of praise for Your faithfulness. You have been gracious to answer our prayers for unity, godly communication, and deeper fellowship within the body of Christ. We thank You for the ways You have opened doors for the Gospel to be shared and for the fruit that has already begun to grow. Lord, we ask that You would continue to remove every obstacle that stands in the way of Your Word taking deep root in the lives of those we love. Uproot the weeds of distraction, doubt, and worldly cares, and replace them with a hunger for Your truth. Let our conversations be seasoned with grace, our words filled with the love of Christ, and our lives a living testimony to Your transforming power.
Father, we pray for those who are distant from You—whether by choice, circumstance, or deception. Bring laborers into their paths who will speak Your truth in love. Give us boldness and wisdom to share what we have seen and heard, that others may come into the same fellowship we have with You. May our joy be made complete as we see souls saved, lives changed, and Your kingdom advanced. We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, for there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved (Acts 4:12). To You be all the glory, honor, and praise, now and forever. Amen.
"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory above the heavens" Ps 8:1 -- Father I want to thank You for working in the lives of our family members, friends and acquaintances in church and the business space. We have been asking for quality, Christian conversations, ability to talk and speak to one another in Psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, to build each other up in love and attain true unity in the faith. We are grateful for improvements we have experienced and enhanced communications where we have specifically asked for blessing and growth in these areas. And in the same breath we still want more -- allow us to share what we have seen, heard and received from Your Holy Spirit and counsel with "all" of our friends, family and even distant relatives. Let us share the Word of Jesus and Gospel of God unto Salvation with them, and those we can't reach, bring others into their path. Remove demonic hindrances, false mindsets, impure motives and weeds -- the worries and cares of life and desire for other things, Mk 4, so they might receive the Word with honest and good hearts and it may grow roots downward and bear fruit upward, even 30, 60 and 100-fold. Father, we love all the Apostles, but ###, who knew He was the disciple that Jesus loved, had it correct. His desire for love and godly communication -- fellowship with himself, other believers, the Father and The Son in The Holy Spirit -- was his motivation for evangelism!!! "What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 These things we write, so that our joy may be made complete, 1 Jn 1:3-4. So thank You for the improvements, but we'd by fibbing if we said we didn't think You can help us abound still more and that You had any constraint or limitation!!! Thank You in Jesus' Name!
