'You Will See Him in the Place of Ministry' — Mark 16:7

[Speaking to the women, the angel in Jesus' empty tomb continued:] "Now go and tell his disciples, including Peter, that Jesus is going ahead of you to Galilee. You will see him there, just as he told you before he died."— Mark 16:7 NLT

Key Thought

Jesus is about ministry. While it is not emphasized in Mark, Matthew speaks of Jesus as Immanuel — God with us. Jesus reminded his disciples that they would experience his presence in their fellowship and worship, [1] in their service to those in need, [2] and in crossing cultural boundaries to share his teaching with others. [3] He wanted his disciples to carry on his ministry. So he wanted them to know that as they ministered in his name, he would be with them. They would see him personally raised from the dead after his resurrection, but they could also "see" him after his ascension by ministering to others. Jesus continues to meet his followers in the places of ministry. — Matthew will be the focus of this next year's "What Jesus Did!" devotional series. As we stand near the close of one year and look forward to another, let's use both Mark and Matthew to remind us that Jesus will meet us in the place of ministry!
[1] Matthew 18:20.
[2] Matthew 25:37-40.
[3] Matthew 28:18-20.

Today's Prayer

Gracious, holy, and merciful God, please use me as an instrument of your peace, grace, and reconciliation. May I be found as a "vessel for honor" [A] — a tool you can use for your purposes in ministry to others. I know, dear Father, that your Son will be present as I minister. Please make his presence real to me. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.

[A] This phrase comes from 2 Timothy 2:21 NKJV about being pure so we will be prepared to minister..

*_For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,_*
Titus 2:11

*Prayer :*

You never change, You have always been God and shall forever be Jehovah, giving us maximum protection and care.

Your grace appeared in my life like a spring of water in the desert quenching my thirst for life, like the command Jesus spoke to Lazarus, "Come out", while I was dead in my sins and trespasses.

You showed me a blessed hope even if I don't deserve it. I praise for Your boundless grace You have poured out on me for none of us is beyond the reach of Your grace.
In Jesus' name, I pray.

*LET US PRAY*

_Dear Heavenly Father,_

We come before you today, acknowledging our sinfulness and our need for your forgiveness. As John writes, "If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us" (1 John 1:8).

We confess our sins to you, Lord, and ask for your forgiveness. We know that you are faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to purify us from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9).

We thank you, Lord, for the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ, who came to take away our sins and to bring us into fellowship with you (1 John 1:3-4). We rejoice in the knowledge that we have fellowship with you and with one another, and that our sins are forgiven through Jesus' sacrifice.

Help us, Lord, to walk in the light as you are in the light (1 John 1:7). May our lives reflect your holiness and your love, and may we be a light to those around us, _We Pray through Jesus Christ Our Lord, Amen._

_Good Day Blessed God Almighty_
*KEEP SHINNING BLESSED*

Receive glory and honor, dear Lord.

Heavenly Father,
Show me grace when I lose my temper. Take the anger from deep inside me and discard it.

Help me forgive those who have hurt me. Help me to let go of any angry feelings I am holding on to.

Grant me self-control so I can walk in peace and experience Your perfect love when I need it the most.
In Jesus' name, I pray.

Consistency and Perseverance in Prayer (3)

Jesus told them a story showing that it was necessary for them to pray consistently and never quit… Luke 18:1(MSG)

God expects us to pray. In Jeremiah 29:12; The Lord says “Then you will call upon me and go and pray to me and I will listen to you”. God keeps reminding us that we should pray. 2nd Chronicles 7:14 says “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and PRAY and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” Do not forget that the devil is roaring about looking for whom to devour. The devil does not stop roaring. So your prayer must be continuous, non-stop, without ceasing, it has to be an exercise that must be frequent, consistent and regular. Consistency and perseverance make you to be more God-conscious, replenish your spiritual life and make you to be closer to God.

To pray consistently and persistently, you can start with hymns, praise, worship and thanksgiving. You can contemplate and meditate on the Lord by adoring, appreciating, blessing, referencing Him for creation and for His awesomeness. Bless Him for kind deeds, protection, favour and mercies. Thank Him for specific favours, blessings He has bestowed on you, your loved ones and people in general. Ask for forgiveness of sins, for ingratitude and disobedience in all forms. Make your requests, desires, aspirations, supplications and wishes known to Him. Be quiet and wait to receive from Him. Then thank and bless Him for answering your prayers.

Prayer:
Father, grant me the grace to pray consistently and the grace to persevere in prayers in Jesus’ Name.

*_Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me._*
Psalm 23:4

*Prayer :*

You are strength and comfort to those who suffer. Let the prayers of Your children who are in trouble rise to You.

We claim Your promises of wholeness as we pray for those who are suffering and long for Your healing touch. 

Make the weak strong, the sick healthy, the broken whole.

To everyone in distress, grant mercy, grant relief, grant refreshment. 

Give us strength of purpose and concern for others, that we may create a community where Your will may be done. 

God of compassion, You watch our ways, and weave out of terrible happenings wonders of goodness and grace. 

Surround those who seeks You with a sense of Your present love, and hold them in faith. 

May they find You and be comforted;
Through Jesus Christ who was dead, but lives and rules this world with You. Amen.
In Jesus' name, I pray.

Thanksgiving And Joy, Even After Failure
