JUNE "prayer-starters" DAY 11

Day 11—God's Love, Bringing Believers Together as One

It becomes evident in the following Scripture that there are Five Ministries set in Christ’s Body by the risen Lord. The ministries Christ appointed for the Church are to bring believers together into the fullness of Christ as one. God’s Love becomes the cement that will then hold us all together as one.

Ephesians 4:11-13—And he gave some, Apostles; and some, Prophets; and some, Evangelists; and some, Pastors and Teachers; for the perfecting (the knitting together) of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ. NIrV—He is the One who gave some the gift to be Apostles. He gave some the gift to be Prophets. He gave some the gift of preaching the Good News. And he gave some the gift to be Pastors and Teachers. He did it so that they might prepare God’s people to serve. If they do, the body of Christ will be built up. That will continue until we all become one in the faith and in the knowledge of God’s Son. Then we will be grown up in the faith. We will receive everything that Christ has for us.

DEAR FATHER, please bring among us all the ministries You have appointed from Your Throne. We, as a body of believers, need these ministries. Please move throughout the whole Church that we may arrive at the Day of the Lord full of Your glory, and of Your Love. May Your Love work in us in so great a measure that anti-Christ himself will not be able to quench its fire.

The ministries Christ set in the church are to bring us together into the fullness of Christ.
—Eph 4:10-13

Ephesians 3:14-19 For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; That ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
