Three Days Annual Prayer & Fasting 2026

Message from Our President
Grace and peace to you, beloved body of Christ at Rising Point for Christ—a dear family.
I greatly rejoice with joy inexpressible and full of glory as I write to bring you my prayer and fasting greetings, and to encourage each of you to participate in this year's Three Days Annual Prayer and Fasting.
I give thanks to God that all of us are alive—except our late, lovely sister in the Lord, Caroline Christine Amoding, whom we lost last year. But I know she is present with the Lord. Take a moment and bless the Lord for her gentle spirit. Amen.
Therefore, by God's amazing grace, we are now in our October Annual General Prayer and Fasting season. These are challenging times—not just for our beloved country, Uganda, but for the entire world. Yet God is never taken by surprise, because He is seated on His throne, in control of the past, the present, and the future.
This year, our theme is:
“For His Death & Resurrection: We Live for the Will of God”
– 2 Corinthians 5:15 | 1 Peter 4:1-2
Brethren, it is indeed true that Jesus died. But He died for you and me—that we too may die to ourselves and live to Christ. We will commit ourselves to God, strictly to live for His will as sustained by His grace. And the Lord God shall strengthen our hearts to walk right with Him, to accept suffering in the flesh, to make godly choices, and to devote ourselves to living for His will.
When we faithfully do this, the faithful God of heaven shall reward us.
It is my prayer that you shall be blessed—that the God of heaven will remember you, give you strength, and grant you a blessing that adds no sorrow.
As we commit to pray and fast, I pray that we—as the body of Christ at Rising Point for Christ, and individually—will experience God's power to resurrect. Even the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. And may this motivate us to follow His command to make disciples of all nations, especially in this year's God-given Mission to Serere Kyere.
For His Will,
Silas Oriokot
Rising Point for Christ
let's fast and pray together!
Our three days annual Prayer and Fasting, held at the beginning of month of October each year, is a powerful and joy-filled time to deepen our dependence on God and realign our hearts with His perfect will.
As we come together in prayer and fasting from Friday to Sunday, let's seek Him with faith, humility, and great expectation—believing that He will move in amazing ways!
Jesus died. He died for us. He was buried but the good news is that on the third day He rose again. And because of His resurrection we have a message to proclaim and our hope is revived and are encouraged to live for the will of God. When we live for His will, we'll experience Restoration which is God's beautiful work of bringing us from brokenness to wholeness. It begins with a humble heart, true repentance and a complete surrender to Him. This kind of restoration goes beyond the surface—it is a deep, life-changing transformation where God heals, renews, and restores us for His greater purpose and glory.
We joyfully invite you to be part of our October Prayer and Fasting
“For His Death & Resurrection: We live for the will of God”
–2 Corinthians 5:15 | 1 Peter 4:1-2
Come expectant, come surrendered to His will and be like Job, even if the Lord slain me! He is ready to restore, and resurrect!
What is prayer?
Prayer is conversing and communing with God and listening to Him for the purpose of aligning our will to His. We come before God in the name of Jesus, based on His Word (the Bible), and guided by His Holy Spirit. When we pray, we worship Him, pour our hearts out in thanksgiving to Him as our Heavenly Father, bring to Him our needs and the needs of others, and ask that His Kingdom come and His will be done in our lives (Matthew 6:9-13; 1 John 5:14-15; John 16:23-24; Jude 20).
What is fasting?
Fasting is the voluntary abstinence from food for a specified duration of time to express remorse and repentance from sin, to earnestly seek God’s will, or to be more intimate with God as we spend extended time in reading His Word and in prayer. Foregoing something essential such as food gives us an opportunity to express how sincere and determined we are in aligning ourselves with God’s heart by humbly seeking His answers to our questions, praying for His provisions for our needs, and asking for spiritual breakthroughs.
While modern-day Christians may also fast (abstain) from other things like entertainment, sports, and social media, abstaining from food is the typical expression of fasting in the Bible because we can survive our entire lives without many things — but we cannot go on forever without food. Meaning, we have chosen God and His pleasure more than what sustains our physical life (Nehemiah 1:4, 9:1; Esther 4:3; Daniel 9:3; Joel 2:12; Matthew 6:16-18; Acts 13:2; Isaiah 58).
Why should we fast?
GOD EXPECTS US TO FAST.
Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face.– Matthew 6:16-17
Jesus said “Whenever you fast”, not "If you fast." This means that fasting, like prayer, is not an option. Fasting is part of the Christian life.
JESUS FASTED.
And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry.
– Matthew 4:2
Before Jesus' ministry, He fasted for forty days. He knew He needed spiritual strength to fulfill His purpose. Fasting makes us physically weak but spiritually stronger and more prepared to do God’s work.
THE EARLY CHURCH FASTED.
Then, when they had fasted and prayed and laid their hands on them, they sent them away.– Acts 13:3 (see also Acts 14:23)
The Church fasted for Saul (Paul) and Barnabas. Later, Paul and Barnabas appointed leaders in various churches, fasting and praying before commending these leaders to the Lord.
FASTING DEMONSTRATES HUMILITY BEFORE GOD.
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer kept returning to my bosom.
– Psalm 35:13 (See also 1 Kings 21:27-29; Ezra 8:21)
Humility lets us experience God’s grace. When we humble ourselves in prayer and turn from our wicked ways, God promises to hear us and answer us according to His perfect will.
FASTING MAKES US SENSITIVE TO THE LEADING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT.
Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He became hungry.
– Luke 4:1-2 (See also Acts 13:2, Matthew 17:21, Mark 9:29)
We are prone to forget our priorities. Fasting is a visible reminder that God takes precedence over all our needs. Fasting lifts up matters at hand to God who is able to do awesome works that will bring Him great glory.
FASTING BRINGS ABOUT PERSONAL AND NATIONAL SPIRITUAL REVIVAL.
And My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
– 2 Chronicles 7:14
So I gave my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and supplications, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.
– Daniel 9:3
Fasting prompts revival to an individual and to a nation. It brings forth a stirring that will heal, change, and prepare us for greater things in God’s kingdom.
FASTING IS GOOD FOR OUR HEALTH.
Fasting improves our physical condition. Many impurities in the body are burned up when the body is denied food, thus, clearing the mind, cleansing, and healing the body. Even people who are underweight who fast for spiritual purposes have been known to gain weight after completing their fasts. Many Bible teachers say that a three-day fast is especially beneficial for spiritual cleansing and also for breaking addictive habits.
(from “What Does the Bible Say About Fasting?” Christ Unlimited Ministries, www.bible.com)
different kinds of fasting
There are probably as many ways to fast as there are ways to pray, but these four ideas are a starting point.
NORMAL FAST
In a normal fast, a person goes without food for a predetermined amount of time. Water is allowed and necessary. Extreme care should be taken with long fasts (more than a week), especially if there are underlying medical conditions. It is wise to consult your physician if you are planning to embark on a long fast.
PARTIAL FAST
In a partial fast, a person only eats certain kinds of food for a period of time or have just one to two meals a day. In the Bible, Daniel and John the Baptist maintained a certain diet during their fasts. The 18th Century preacher John Wesley had only bread and water for many days as his fast.
JUICE FAST
This is a partial fast specifically restricted to only juices.
OTHER FASTS
While the Bible speaks of fasting primarily as abstaining from food, the principle can extend to anything that hinders us from seeking God more fully (Hebrews 12:1). Even married couples may, by mutual agreement, abstain from physical intimacy for a time to devote themselves to prayer (1 Corinthians 7:5). Similarly, believers may choose to “fast” from activities or comforts—like social media, television, or other distractions— simply because it will help them give God their full attention.
It is important for you to start and end your fast gradually. Start cutting down on your food intake, especially those with caffeine (coffee, tea, soft drinks) days before you fast. More importantly, pray in advance for God to sustain you physically, mentally, and spiritually during your fast. For the first few meals after your fast, do not immediately go back to your normal food intake. Taking soft food in moderate amounts is best to allow your body to adjust and get back to its normal digestion.
Precautions
While there are benefits in fasting, some should not fast without professional medical supervision.
For example:
• Persons who are physically too thin
• Persons who are prone to eating disorders
• Those who suffer from weakness or anemia
• Persons who have been diagnosed with certain ailments that require continuous nutrition
• Pregnant and nursing women
• People taking prescription medication
CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR FAST.
Be aware that some doctors may not have been trained in this area so their understanding about it may be limited.
suggestions for prayer
As we go through a number of Scripture passages for the next few days, we can learn to pray through Scripture by using the following outline:
CONFESSION
Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal anything in your life that is not pleasing to Him. Humbly confess all known sin and receive God's mercy. Then ask for God's forgiveness even for sins you may not be aware you have committed.
ADORATION
Spend time in personal worship of God, extolling Him for who He is and what He has done. Praise Him for His attributes – Almighty, Eternal, Faithful and many others. Commune with the Lord by acknowledging His manifest presence in your life.
SUPPLICATION
Lift up your requests to God. Cast all your cares to Him for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7) You can pray specifically for the world, the church, your community, family, relationships, and then lastly, for your personal petitions.
THANKSGIVING
Thank the Lord for His many, varied, and specific blessings in your life. Ask for a heart of gratitude and contentment in all things. By faith, give thanks to Him in advance, not only for listening to your prayers but for His answers to all of these petitions.
Devotions
"and He died for all, so that they who live might no longer live for themselves, but for Him who died and rose again on their behalf.”
2 Corinthians 5:15
“Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.”
1 Peter 4:1-2
Day 1
“Jesus Died for All”
By Justus Ainembabazi
read it
"For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised."
— 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 (ESV)
Anchor Verses
Paul points us to the heart of the Gospel: "Jesus Christ died for all." The death of Christ was so intentional—not accidental—that all humans can be redeemed from the wages of sin.
As sin entered the world through one man, Adam, and spread to all human generations, so did Christ—the one man—die for all. Not selectively, but that all may have life through His death.
The death of Christ for all humanity greatly demonstrates the pure, strong, and unshakeable love of God to redeem us all from the wrath that humanity would have suffered. His death therefore tells us that God never delights in the death of any human being, but delights in our living with Him in a new life—a life that, by His undeserved grace, we have received through the suffering of one man, Christ.
Our Lord amazes me. He willingly laid His life down for us so that we might live eternally with Him in glory. No one asked Christ to die for us, yet willingly He laid His life down. No one could take His life away from Him—only the will of the Lord prevailed.
Glory be to our bountiful Father above, that through the death of Christ, all have access to the Father in glory. Christ's death opened the gate of heaven, that all may enter when they believe in Him. Our lives are now bound to His.
Meditate on It
Having understood that Christ died for us all, let us meditate on this together:
1. What does it mean to us that Christ willingly gave up His life for us all—intentionally?
2. What does Jesus' death reveal about God's love for humanity?
3. How should knowing that Jesus died for us change the way we respond to Him?
Reflection
The death of our Lord Jesus reminds us that we are deeply loved, but it also calls us to respond to that love.Apply It
1. Evaluate what you are focused on as a follower of Christ in the 21st century. Is it aligned with Christ's original plan—that He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him who died and was raised (2 Corinthians 5:15)?
2. Make a simple plan for how you, your family, and/or your Dgroup can intentionally live for Christ this year. Identify one area where you have been living for yourself—your comfort, your reputation, your desires—and surrender it to Him.
3. What step of faith will you take this year to extend the love of Christ to others? Who in your sphere of influence needs to hear that Jesus died for them too? Name them. Pray for them. Plan to share the Gospel with them.
4. As you pray and fast these three days, write down one specific way you will no longer live for yourself, but for Him who died and rose again for your sake.
Adoration
Worship the Lord Jesus Christ for His intentional, willing sacrifice on the cross. Give Him all the glory and praise for dying for all humanity—not selectively, but for every tribe, tongue, and nation. Declare His wonderful works: that He laid down His life willingly, that no one took it from Him, and that through His death, He opened the gate of heaven for all who believe (John 10:17-18; Hebrews 10:19-20). Magnify Him as the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world (John 1:29). The Lord Almighty alone is worthy of our adoration!Confession
Examine your heart before the Lord. Confess the ways you have taken Christ's sacrifice lightly. Confess the moments you have lived for yourself rather than for Him who died and rose again (2 Corinthians 5:15). Acknowledge before God the times you have dishonoured His death by continuing in sin. Repent, and turn your heart fully to Him. Confess the pride that makes you think you can earn His love. Let the blood of Jesus cleanse you afresh (1 John 1:9).Thanksgiving
Approach the throne of grace with hearts overflowing in gratitude. Thank the Father for His great love in willingly giving Jesus to die for us all (John 3:16). Thank Jesus for His obedience unto death, even death on a cross (Philippians 2:8). Thank the Holy Spirit for applying this salvation to your life. Count your blessings—the new life you now have, the access to the Father, the hope of eternity—and give thanks. Let gratitude be your offering before the Lord today (Psalm 116:12-14).Supplication
Pray that God would help you understand the depth of Christ's love—deeper than you have yet known (Ephesians 3:18-19). Ask Him for the strength to live each day with gratitude for His sacrifice. Petition Him to help you turn away from sin and follow Jesus faithfully. Pray that you would love and serve others as Christ has loved you (John 13:34-35). Ask the Lord to make you a living witness of His death and resurrection, that others may come to believe (2 Corinthians 5:20). Present your requests to God with confidence, knowing He hears you (1 John 5:14).Day 2
“Arm Yourself for Suffering in the Flesh”
By Joel Olupot
read it
“Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.”
— 1 Peter 4:1-2 (NKJV)
Anchor Verses
On Wednesday, 23rd September 2026, when my brother Silas Oriokot asked me to prepare a devotion for Day Two of our Annual Prayer and Fasting, I gave thanks to God for the topic he gave me—“Arm Yourself for Suffering in the Flesh.”
Then I recalled one of the war movies I used to watch when I was young: “We Were Soldiers.” Lt. Col. Hal Moore was ordered to lead 400 American troops against the North Vietnamese army in the Ia Drang Valley. However, after reaching the location, he found himself hopelessly outnumbered. Each time these soldiers prepared for war, they would arm themselves with armor for the battle.
In today's devotional, Peter is writing to the pilgrims of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia—believers who were being mocked, rejected, and persecuted for their faith. He tells them to arm themselves with the same mind of Christ.
The word "arm yourself" is a military word. Like a soldier putting on armor before battle, a Christian must put on a mindset before suffering comes. This shows preparedness for the battle between the Spirit and the flesh.
Suffering in the flesh is not a sign that God has left you. It is part of following Christ, who Himself suffered in the flesh. Christ suffered in the flesh, yet He remained faithful to God. Therefore, Peter calls us to have the same mind—a willingness to endure hardship rather than compromise our relationship with God.
To have the mind of Christ means to say: “Not my will, but Yours, be done” (Luke 22:42).
To suffer in the flesh does not mean deliberately looking for suffering. It means being willing to endure the cost of obedience. There will be moments when following Christ requires us to say no to sinful desires, worldly pressure, temptation, and the desire to please people.
Peter says that the believer should no longer live the rest of his or her life "for the lusts of men, but for the will of God" (v.2).
Meditate on It
1. Are you prepared to remain faithful to God's will even when doing so brings suffering, rejection, or personal sacrifice?
2. What fleshly desire is God calling you to say “No” to?
3. What would it look like for you to "arm yourself" with the mind of Christ today—before the battle comes tomorrow?
Reflection:
When the mind is prepared to suffer for Christ, the heart becomes steadfast in doing the will of God.
Apply It
1. Identify the area of your life where you are most tempted to compromise. Name it before God. Is it a relationship? A habit? A fear of what people will say? Write it down and bring it to the Lord.
2. Arm yourself with the mind of Christ before the battle comes. Just as a soldier does not put on armor in the middle of the fight, do not wait for temptation to arrive before deciding to obey God. Settle it in your heart today: “I will follow Christ, whatever the cost.”
3. Say “No” to the flesh this week—and “Yes” to God's will. Choose one specific fleshly desire you will deny this week, and replace it with an act of obedience—prayer, fasting, serving, or sharing the Gospel.
4. Commit to standing firm in suffering. If following Christ brings mockery, rejection, or hardship, do not turn back. Trust that God is with you, and that suffering for His name is not wasted (1 Peter 4:14).
Adoration
Worship the Lord Jesus Christ, who suffered in the flesh for us and remained faithful to the Father. Give Him all the glory for His obedience unto death—even death on a cross (Philippians 2:8). Declare His worthiness: He is the Lamb who endured suffering for our sake. The Lord Almighty alone is worthy of our adoration!
Confession
Examine your heart. Confess the times you have failed to arm yourself with the mind of Christ. Confess the moments you chose the pleasures of the flesh over the will of God. Confess your fear of suffering and your hesitation to obey when it was costly. Repent, and ask God to cleanse you and renew your mind (Romans 12:2; 1 John 1:9).Thanksgiving
Thank the Father for sending Christ, who suffered and died for you and rose again. Thank Jesus for His example of faithfulness under suffering. Thank the Holy Spirit for strengthening you to endure. Count your blessings—the grace to say "No" to sin, the power to say "Yes" to God's will—and give thanks.Supplication
Heavenly Father, thank You for sending Christ, who suffered and died for me and rose again. Give me the mind of Christ and prepare me to remain faithful when following You becomes difficult. Help me to resist the desires of the flesh and to live the rest of my life according to Your will. May suffering never cause me to abandon You, but may it deepen my faith and strengthen my commitment to Christ. In Jesus' name, AMEN.Day 3
“Live for the Will of God”
By Silas Oriokot
read it
“That he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.”
— 1 Peter 4:2 (NKJV)
“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.”
— Romans 12:2 (ESV)
Anchor Verses
God is holy. And because He is holy, He hates sin (Proverbs 6:16-19; Habakkuk 1:13). If you have truly repented of your dark past, then to some degree, you too must have a true hatred for sin.
This does not mean you will never fall into sin—you can, and you are prone to it. But you will have a holy hatred for it. You will grieve over it. You will not make peace with it.
The question is: Have you ever struggled with ungodly character or behavior? How do you feel about it? How do you react to it?
Peter writes to believers who had once lived for the lusts of men—the desires of the flesh, the pressure of the world, the approval of people. But now, because Christ suffered for them, they are called to live differently. Not for themselves. Not for their families. Not for their church. Not even for their spouses or children. But for the will of God.
Whom do you live for? For your children? For your church? For your family? For your husband or wife? If so, you are still living for yourself. Today, choose to live for Christ Jesus, who died for you and rose again.
“And He died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for Him who for their sake died and was raised.” — 2 Corinthians 5:15
Meditate on It
1. What sins do you need to let go of in order to live fully for the will of God? Name them before the Lord. Is it ungodly character? A hidden habit? A relationship that dishonours God? A pattern of compromise?
2. Whom do you live for? Honestly examine your motives. Are you living for your family, your church, your reputation, or your comfort? Or are you living for Christ who died for you and rose again?
3. What sufferings have you gone through in trying to live for God's will? Bring them before God. Have you been mocked? Rejected? Misunderstood? Have you lost opportunities because you chose obedience? Lift those sufferings in the flesh before God in prayer.
Reflection
To live for the will of God is to deny yourself daily, take up your cross, and follow Jesus (Luke 9:23). It is not easy, but it is the only life that truly satisfies.Apply It
1. Make a recommitment to God today. Deny yourself. Purpose in your heart to follow Jesus Christ closely and to walk with Him. Not just for these three days of prayer and fasting—but for the rest of your life.
2. Complete this declaration:
“I, ________________________, will live for the will of God!”
Say it out loud. Write it down. Sign your name to it. Let it be a covenant before the Lord.
3. Declare this commitment:
“I deny myself, and I choose to live for His will.”
4. Pray over the sufferings you have faced. Lift them before God. Commit yourself to no longer live for the lusts of men, but for His will—no matter the cost.
Adoration
Worship the Lord God Almighty, who is holy, holy, holy. Give Him all the glory and praise for His perfect will—good, acceptable, and perfect (Romans 12:2). Declare His worthiness: He alone is worthy of a life fully surrendered to Him. The Lord Almighty alone is worthy of our adoration!Confession
Examine your heart. Confess the sins you have been holding onto—the ungodly character, the hidden compromises, the love for the world. Confess the times you have lived for yourself, for your family, for your church, or for your reputation, rather than for Christ. Confess your fear of suffering and your hesitation to follow fully. Repent, and ask God to cleanse you and give you a holy hatred for sin (1 John 1:9).Thanksgiving
Thank the Father for His mercy in calling you out of darkness into His marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9). Thank Jesus for dying for you and rising again—so that you might no longer live for yourself, but for Him. Thank the Holy Spirit for the power to deny yourself and follow Christ. Count your blessings and give thanks for His transforming grace.Supplication
Heavenly Father, I deny myself today. I choose to live for Your will. I lay down my own desires, my own plans, and my own comfort. Give me a holy hatred for sin and a deep love for You. Help me to no longer live for the lusts of men, but for Your will. Strengthen me when suffering comes—when I am mocked, rejected, or misunderstood for Your sake. Keep my eyes fixed on Jesus. May I live the rest of my time in the flesh, not for myself, but for Him who died for me and rose again. In Jesus' name. AMENMake It Personal
Complete this declaration:
“I, ________________________, will live for the will of God!”
“I deny myself, and I choose to live for His will.”
Lord's supper guide
Read: 1 Corinthians 11:23-29
for our online participation: PREPARE BREAD AND JUICE
- It is a symbolic meal instituted by our Lord Jesus as a reminder of what He has done for us. We are to celebrate it often and remember Jesus by “proclaiming His death until He comes” (v.26)
- Before Jesus broke the bread and passed the cup, He gave thanks (v.24) for the opportunity to serve us by giving His body and blood for our sake!
WHAT DOES THE BREAD AND THE WINE (IN OUR CASE, THE JUICE) SYMBOLIZE?
- The bread symbolizes the body of Jesus which was nailed to the Cross (v.24)
- The wine (juice) symbolizes the blood of Jesus which was shed for us in the New Covenant (v.25)
- We do not teach that the bread and juice literally become the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
- Instead, we declare that these elements are representations of our Lord - who He is and what He has done.
- To partake of these elements, therefore, is a symbolic expression of our faith in Him and His finished work.
WHY AND HOW SHOULD WE CELEBRATE THE LORD'S SUPPER?
- We should have a grateful attitude as we look back and look forward.
- Look back and thank our Lord Jesus for:
- His free gift of salvation and for forgiving our sins
- His attributes (faithful, forgiving, gracious, holy, loving, unchanging)
- who He is in our lives (Lord, Master, Savior)
- blessings like our family (spouse, children, parents, siblings), providing for our needs, etc.
- opportunities to serve Him and His people (family, friends, church)
- Look forward and thank Jesus for being alive today, and for the gift of relationships (biological and spiritual family)
- how He will answer our prayers
- how He will walk us through this year (individually, as a family, as a nation)
- Hithe promise that one day He will return
- Take some time to reflect.
Partake of the bread and juice and close in prayer

1 TIMOTHY 2:1
Beloved in Christ,
Will you continue to deny yourself daily and follow Jesus? (Luke 9:23)
Will you live for His will when no one is watching?
Will you stand firm when suffering comes?
Will you press on when the flesh pulls you back?
The answer is not found in your own strength. It is found in the same power that raised Christ from the dead—the power that now lives in you by the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:11).
“Therefore, my beloved brothers, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that in the Lord your labor is not in vain.” — 1 Corinthians 15:58
“The harvest is , but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harveplentifulst to send out laborers into His harvest.” — Matthew 9:37-38
